Trade threat turned the light on for Dwayne Bowe
Posted by Mike Florio on October 19, 2009 3:05 PM ET

As pointed out in the Chiefs-Redskins portion our Morning Aftermath, Kansas City receiver Dwayne Bowe caught six passes for 109 yards. It was his best output of the season.

Bowe's performance came at a time when rumors are rampant that he (and pretty much any other Chiefs player not named "Matt Cassel") is available as the trade deadline looms.

So was he motivated by the rumors? As it turns out, no.

Bowe was motivated by a specific threat, from coach Todd Haley.

Per a league source, Haley tore into Bowe early in Sunday's win over the Redskins, urging Bowe to pick up his game and threatening to trade Bowe if he didn't.

Though some might have seen it as a chance to get over the wall and head to a contending team, the exchange seemed to light a fire under Bowe.

So we suppose it would be fitting if the performance prompts a team like the Dolphins or Ravens to make the Chiefs an offer for Bowe that G.M. Scott Pioli accepts.

WTF?

If this is for real, then this is a joke of a head coach.

I don't think Bowe would give a f**k if he got traded, just like any other player... What kind of threat is that, lol?

ummm. Not if it worked.

Ha ha... Why would this not surprise me?

I bet Haley would rape a player's mother if it resulted in motivation....

Why?

It was probably something he said right after a Bowe f**k-up, and it was probably a yell along the lines of, "WHAT THE F**K, BOWE?!? I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT!! IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT TO F**KING DO OUT THERE, I'LL TRADE YOUR ASS OUTTA HERE!"

And it seems to have worked. So maybe you should request Haley make that threat to the other 52 guys...

I don't believe it but if its true, then WTF haley?

But I seriously doubt haley is that big of an asshole. And I doubt bowe would be celebrating with haley at the end of the game if he had just received that threat earlier in the game.

You're right. A tactic used to get the best out of a player truly shows what a joke he is and how little he knows. Haley should be fired today.

**Bearcat** · 10-19-2009, 01:42 PM

Eh.

I'm sure he was ready to make the call to Pioli at halftime.

Anti-Haley sentiment is not in vogue after the big win. You'd better fall in line or DaFace will trade you to the Mange.

**the Talking Can** · 10-19-2009, 01:45 PM

oh no, a coach said something mean to a player who screwed up during a game...

everyone faint together

Assuming this report is accurate:

-Has Haley run out of motivation techniques if he's dropping "I'll trade your ass" in the middle of a game?

-What will he use for the rest of the season, once the trade deadline passes tomorrow?

-If the HC feels it's necessary to use that type of threat to "motivate" a star player, what does that say about the coach? Or for that matter, the star player?

Florio: Todd Haley reportedly was heard shouting "Don't Make Me Shank You!" to receiver Dwayne Bowe on the sidelines during the Chiefs/Cowboys contest.
