Chiefs Teicher: Offense is the Chiefs' biggest problem - Page 10

I went to the Chiefs’ first full offseason practice wondering more about their defense, but I left with more questions about the offense.

Let’s start with the offensive line: Very thin without Brian Waters there. They’ve got two starters who are over 30 — Damion McIntosh is 32, Mike Goff is 33 — and both those guys had better hold up or the Chiefs might be in some trouble. Very thin as far as depth; very few proven experienced guys as backups.

The receiving group without Tony Gonzalez: I’m wondering, like everybody else, how that’s going to all play out. Dwayne Bowe dropped some balls and made some nice catches also, but he looked a lot like the Dwayne Bowe we saw last year. The Chiefs really need him to be more consistent because you’ve got Mark Bradley and Bobby Engram behind him. Engram is 36. Not a lot of depth there, either.

The running game with Larry Johnson: You’ve heard me say before the Chiefs need Johnson. He’s their running game. I didn’t really see a guy who’s capable of handling the every-down load like Johnson is. They used Jamaal Charles like they did last year as a third-down back.

Matt Cassel didn’t have one of his better days, but he’s the least of the Chiefs’ concerns right now. It was a windy day; I’ve seen him throw indoors since joining the Chiefs at an earlier minicamp, and there’s no problem with Matt Cassel.

Chan Gailey: I have a lot of respect for him. He did a great job turning the offense around last year after a rotten start and all the quarterback problems. But he’s going to have to earn his money again this year, because there are a lot of issues with the Chiefs offensively.

Not sure if this is a repost or not, but very interesting considering our defense was 2nd worst in the league last year. Your thoughts?

It is very likely that the offense will not be good next year, but the level of SUCK the Defense is coming off of is just unbelievable. It's got a lot further to go before it can be even servicable than does the offense.

Did the line really provide more protection or was Thigpen just able to run out of pressure?

Did anybody see the Bears workout on NFL network? I didn't see a single catch. Those receivers are really going to have to get used to Cutler. He throws a low pass towards the gut when its short, instead of to the chest as it should be. The Bears receivers are going to have to do some adjustments, as I don't see Cutler changing a thing.

I think Earl Bennett is used to catching his passes. I know you probably haven't heard of him yet, but you will.

He played college ball with Cutler at Vanderbilt. Bennett ended up setting the record for the SEC in receptions in three years of college. Bennett caught the majority of his passes from Cutler.

Cutler will also be playing with Chris Williams who was his LT at Vandy. They shouldn't have any problems with continuity in the huddle.

LJ will outproduce Knowshon Sloweno in 09. WRITE IT DOWN!

What was Diaper Boy's combine speed? I think he dropped because it wasn't great. How many 1000 yard season's has he had? Obviously you know nothing again about football as 40 time doesn't necessarily translate into game speed. It sucks Denver got Moreno.
