NO 30 FAs in 30 Days
Anybody notice that Josh Looney has stopped writing his "30 FAs in 30 Days" stories on KCCHIEFS.COM?

Mr_Tomahawk had been posting them here.

Not only did the stories stop but KCChiefs.com has pulled all stories and when you try and pull them up you get a - "The Article may have expired or has been deleted." message.

With Josh working as a writer for the Chief's Web site, is it bordering on tampering to write stories on free agents the Chiefs should consider? Maybe not that at all but Josh must have hit a nerve somewhere to have all stories stopped and the ones that he had already done were pulled.

I think Josh is getting better as a writer and an interviewer, but I'm afraid he may have gotten his hands slapped on this.

Not sure I have them all before they stopped him, but these are the ones I read -

TE – Visanthe Shiancoe and John Carlson
CB – Stanford Routt
NT – Paul Soliai, Shaun Rogers, Sione Pouha, and Antonio Garay
S - Jim Leonhard and LaRon Landry
OL – King Dulap, Vernon Carey, Demetrius Bell, and Carl Nicks
WR – Eddie Royal
QB – Chad Henne, Jason Campbell, and David Garrard
RB/FB – Mike Tolbert and BenJarvus Green-Ellis
DE – Adam Carriker

I guess I will have to look up Mr Tomahawks post to re-read the stories.

The press can speculate about whatever the hell it wants, even if the source is basically a mouthpiece to the team

I think OT King Dunlap was the last story he did. Scott Pioli must have said "that's some crazy speculating there Josh. We're going to have to put a stop to this Shit!"

They prefer the fans to be ill informed and ignorant.

Can't show the fans a bunch of steak and then make them split a pack of bologna.

I'll bet it wasn't a directive that started at Pioli's desk. Probably happened at 345 Park Avenue.

Example of one they did for Soliai...

Quote:
NAME: Paul Soliai
POSITION: Nose Tackle

HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-4, 355

COLLEGE: Utah

GP/GS: 68/31

AGE/EXPEREINCE: 28/5 seasons

BACKGROUND: Nose tackle remains a need for the Chiefs entering the 2012 off-season and the position is filled with several intriguing veterans. One nose tackle who’s generating plenty of chatter from Chiefs fans is Paul Soliai of the Miami Dolphins.

Soliai is your prototypical 3-4 nose. He’s a run-stopping specialist, uses his body to effectively play two-gap technique and, at 29 years old, is young enough to be more than just a one-year stopgap.

With a handful of 3-4 teams needing help at nose tackle, Soliai is expected to be one of the more hotly pursued free agents at his position. ESPN’s AFC West blogger Bill Williamson says he’d be “shocked” if both the Chargers and Chiefs don’t make “big plays” to sign Soliai.

A former fourth-round pick of the Dolphins in 2007, Soliai played last season under the franchise tag. Miami paid him $12.47 million for one season of work after he posted career-highs across the board in 2010.

In classic nose tackle fashion, Soliai’s career highs consisted of just 39 tackles and 2.0 sacks. His ability to occupy blockers in the center of Miami’s defense is what got him paid.

Soliai became an integral part of the Dolphins defense in 2010 after struggling to produce in his first three NFL seasons. He drew just five starts and posted only 41 tackles from 2007-09 before breaking out in the final year of his contract.

Though Soliai’s numbers declined in 2011, his reputation as a stout run defender stayed strong. He received his first Pro Bowl invitation in January, replacing Ravens NT Haloti Ngata on the AFC roster.

AVAILABILITY: Soliai’s tenure in Miami appears to be nearing its end. The Dolphins have been trying to secure a multi-year deal with Soliai since 2010 and have been unable to meet on financials.

Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post reported over the weekend that the Dolphins are no closer to a contract extension with Soliai after meeting with agent Ben Canter.

In addition, the Dolphins are transitioning from a 3-4 defense into a 4-3 hybrid scheme and are also thought to be a possible landing destination for Peyton Manning. Dollars add up and Miami currently has around $13 million in cap space.

It would cost the Dolphins nearly $15 million to franchise Soliai again in 2012.

According to Volin, via Pro Football Focus, Soliai played in just 450 of 1,126 defensive snaps (39.96%) last season. That’s a workload that paid just under $28,000 per snap last season.

COACHING CONNECTIONS: Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spent last season with Soliai in Miami. Though Daboll coached on the other side of the football, he saw plenty of Soliai between practices and games.

WHY HE FITS: The Chiefs have been searching for a long-term solution at nose tackle since switching to a 3-4 defense in 2009. Ron Edwards ushered in the first two seasons of the scheme and Kelly Gregg manned the position last season.

Edwards has since moved on to Carolina and Gregg’s future is in the air as a 35-year old veteran scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.

In addition to being a proven player, Soliai still has several solid seasons ahead of him.

The Chiefs currently have 2011 sixth-round draft pick Jerrell Powe and Anthony Toribio under contract for next season.

Hmmm. Based on the Soliai one, I can kinda see why the great OZ would want to put the kibosh on that deal.

He makes a pretty good case why we should go after the guy. That cannot be allowed.

Kibosh…now there’s a good word that I’m sure Mr. Pioli is very familiar with.

Definition of KIBOSH – Dashing the hopes and dreams of one Josh Looney in his pursuit of being a sports writer that is allowed to pick an NFL topic and run with it without getting every paragraph and word approved by the Great and Mighty Oz.

I would venture to say, it's probably due to one of those players mentioned actually being a FA player the team has targeted and they don't want their hand shown to any other prospective teams also pursuing said individual.
