Chiefs Chan Gailey...

**pr_capone** · 06-11-2009, 12:36 AM

is he capable of coaching the Chiefs to a top 12 offensive ranking this season?

I think so... but a lot has to happen to get there.

Cassel is the real thing at QB. (I hope he is)

Bowe stops dropping so many balls.

LJ mans up (he seems to being doing it)

AND

either:

Bradley manages to not get hurt all year because Engram just won't cut it at #2

or

Cottam catches 500 yards and a couple of TDs. The guy has solid hands, fast, and he is a mountain so it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Cottam ain't catching 500 yards. I'll put money on that. I still don't know what has given you the idea that he has solid hands.

Moves well about the field, runs above average routes and uses his frame protect the pass. Catches the ball well and a solid intermediate range target.

I'm just saying that while he is no TonyG... he also isn't Jason Dunn.

If you watch the videos, most of the highlights are the exact same play from different angles. If that's his highlights we may be in trouble.

Well said sir, and I couldnt agree more. Brad has NFL ability, and can make a difference on this offense. I am really excited to watch the big guy go this year.

Chan will be lucky to get Top 20 because:

1. The Offensive Line won't be good enough to keep Cassel's jersey clean.
2. Chiefs will be lucky to get close to 1500 receiving yards... Nobody will be able to get close to half of Bowe's share of that.
3. Brad Cottam is the new Jason Dunn... NTTAWT
4. LJ might man up, he might not, but he's still not going to look like the back he used to be behind a line that exists now.

I think you mean WHEN Bradley gets hurt, DVD must emerge!!!

sodcat · 06-11-2009, 04:25 AM

and if Cottam stays healthy.

**BossChief** · 06-11-2009, 05:19 AM

Go to camp, Cottam can fly and can consistantly catch the ball. He has good hands.

In this offense, built on underneath dump offs and yac yards, Cottam could flourish on chip release routes.

500 yards isnt out of the question THIS YEAR.

He should develop into an outstanding blocker as well, the stronger he can get the better.

he will never fill the shoes of Tony in the court of public opinion but could have a very productive career in this system.

Cassel took alot of sacks last year and used his tight end alot, I suppose Cottam could achieve similar production as NE tight ends did on average.

400 yards with 4-5 touchdowns is more likely of a achievable goal though...

I just hope he can stay healthy.

We're not going to be running the same offense we were last year....

Cottam is going to be blocking. That's about it....

Anyone know ... what was the roll of the TE in AZ offense last year? I know they had 2 excellent WR's, but looking at how their TE was used will tell us a lot about what to expece out of Cottam ... would it not?

Leonard Pope, their best TE, only had 23 receptions for 238yds last season. They had a couple other TEs, but none caught more than a handful of catches.

They didn't use the TE much.....

That says to me that our TE will not catch very many ... especially if he is a green horn. Maybe that is why they traded Tony ... uselss to have a player of his talent just sitting around.

AZ has three excellent receivers. Steve Breaston had more than 1,000 yards as well.

But, the Chiefs don't have HOF QB. They don't have three guys capable of gaining over 1,000 yards each in one season (they may only have one). They don't even have what I'd consider a "solid" offensive line.

Combine that with the fact that they face some serious, serious defenses this year in the Giants, Ravens, Steelers, Eagles and even Dallas (the Cowboys has 55 sacks last year).

The Chiefs shouldn't have the worst offense in the league but I'd be surprised if they ranked higher than 25th.
