Dwayne Bowe to play Friday against Seahawks
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
Three days of practice were all that wide receiver Dwayne Bowe needed to get ready to play in a game. Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said that Bowe would get some snaps in Friday night’s preseason game against Seattle at Arrowhead Stadium.

“Coach said I’m ready from what they’ve been looking at, and I’m going to play until they tell me not to,’’ Bowe said.

That point may come early in Friday’s game.

“I will play him some, just give him a couple of plays here and there, but I don’t think he’s ready to play a whole game or anything like that,’’ Crennel said.

Still, it’s a speedy turnaround for Bowe, who signed with the Chiefs only last Friday. As the unsigned franchise player, Bowe missed all the offseason practice and all of training camp in St. Joseph.

Judging from his comments, Bowe should be in midseason form. Asked what he wanted out of Friday’s game, Bowe said, “To continue where I left off: Being dominant, catching the ball, finishing, blocking downfield and helping this team win.’’

Lewis returns to practice

Injured safety Kendrick Lewis returned to practice, though just as an observer. Lewis stood on the sideline mostly chatting with other defensive backs, and his arm was no longer in a sling as it was in the locker room after Saturday night’s game in St. Louis.

Injured players usually don’t come to practice if they will be out of action for a long period of time, so Lewis’ attendance at practice could be taken as a positive sign.

Lewis injured his shoulder against the Rams. He injured the same shoulder in the final regular-season game last year and had surgery that kept him from participating in offseason practice.

Quinn or Stanzi as No. 2 QB?

Crennel wouldn’t say whether Brady Quinn or Ricky Stanzi would be the first quarterback off the bench in replacing Matt Cassel against the Seahawks.

“I’m not sure yet,’’ Crennel said. “We’ll have to see. We’re talking about that. We’ll wait until game time to figure that one out.”

The two seemed to separate themselves in the game against the Rams. Stanzi was sacked four times, threw an interception and lost a fumble, while Quinn completed five of his six passes for 70 yards and a 38-yard touchdown to Jeremy Horne.

“They both have been close,’’ Crennel said. “We wanted to see what the competition was. The circumstance for both of them has been just a little different in the games with who they’ve been with and things like that. I’m not ready to say one or the other right now. After this last game, I said I’d go through this week and then see what it looked like. We’ll be through this week here pretty soon and then we’ll be at the game and then maybe we’ll know.’’

Shaun Smith is available

Defensive lineman Shaun Smith, who became a fan favorite during the 2010 season with the Chiefs, became a free agent when he was released by the Tennessee Titans. Smith not only played for Crennel while he was defensive coordinator with the Chiefs but also in Cleveland while Crennel was head coach.

“Shaun is my man,’’ Crennel said. “Shaun would love to be here, I’m sure. But we’ve got some guys on the team right now (and) they’ve worked pretty (hard) and we feel decent about them, and then we’ll have to kind of look at it and see. I have not talked to Shaun yet, but Shaun might give me a call here shortly.’’

And some people, 3 years from now, will understand that Haley running the ball helped extend Big Ben's career.

As is almost always the case, both sides are wrong and the truth lies somewhere in between.

This is the biggest,babbling bunch of bullshit

so Haley wanted to get fired in his 1st and maybe only HC in the NFL?

Weis made Cassel better and Haley could of just LET IT THE **** GO and enjoy being more successful, but he didn't. He'd rather lose like a punk bitch than let someone else help him win.

SO FAR, daboll has helped Cassel look better too

So instead of proving he was competent and that he could make shitty QB's look decent, he just gave up?

So you're saying Haley is a pussy as well as worthless?

QB's come and go ... If that is the really reason for Haley sucking then he could of just waited. Better yet he could of actually developed a QB and pressure to replace Cassel. But instead he decided to go with Palko.

so many holes in the worthless pile of shit "MYTH" that i can barely contain myself

1st Weis left because of cassel and not Haley
now Haley left because of Cassel after running Weis off(a guy who actually made cassel decent)
Then Weis left for florida to be with his family ... oops he's back in KS
oh yea, don't forget that Pioli force all the bad players on Haley and haley was responsible for all the good players.

the endless bullshit spewed around this place is unreal

The only bullshit spewed here is that Haley was the big bad guy and Charlie Weis was some kind of hero.

Weis was successful because he was willing to accept Cassel's faults and work around them. Haley wasn't. Haley expected a lot more from Cassel and in the end, not being willing to compromise got him fired.

Everybody here says Haley was crazy. Yet it's completely unreasonable that an insane person would squander his biggest chance at head coaching glory in an effort to prove he's right.

Laz, just give it up about Haley. Many of the things that made him successful enough to get a shot, were the things that brought him down. Let's also forget this fantasy that Weis was some sort of Cassel whisperer. The bubble has burst on that fairy tale.

Haley wasn't ever going to be able to run with the restrictions that Pioli put on him and the amount of control that Pioli seems to want to have. Obviously Haley couldn't adjust. Hopefully Pioli can, because no organization can be successful if the GM is making all the decisions for the head coach.
