Thursday, July 24, 2008: Chiefs Arrive
Extra, Extra...

The Kansas City Chiefs arrived before 4 p.m. to an overcast sky at UW-River Falls. The busses had unloaded the players and were pulling away from George R. Field South Fork Suites by 4:10 p.m.
At 4:48 p.m. an Astleford Idea lease and rental truck was fully unloaded, and the bags were placed in four rows on the pavement. Desk chairs, boxes labeled “fragile” and cases of Red Bull energy drinks were a few of the first things off the truck. Simoutanously, a Penske truck was loaded with the coach’s luggage as a crew waited for its departure to Grimm Hall, located a couple of hundred yards away from the players’ new digs in the George R. Field South Fork Suites. The new facility was opened several years ago and features suite-style living of four bedrooms surrounding a commons area. Able to accommodate 240 residents, the $11.5 million building was constructed, paid for and owned by UWRF students, who have bonding authority under Wisconsin statutes. Named for a UWRF chancellor who led the university from 1968-1985, South Fork will experience a $14 million expansion to double the size of the building next year.

When asked about the prompt arrival by the Chiefs this year, residence living head custodian Bob Karras responded by saying, “There must not have been any bad weather for the Chiefs travel this year. With no storms they were given the ability to arrive on time.” Last year the team arrived later than scheduled, having to deal with a 45-minute storm delay.
Chiefs’ Security Officer Ken Whiting shared of his trip up to UW-River Falls with the team. He said the demeanors of the players was quite different from last year. “They were mellow and hyped-up,” he said. He attributed the vast difference of behavior to the amount of youth that joins the Chiefs for training camp. Whiting said he could feel the anxiousness from the players on the bus ride and anticipates a competitive camp.

The rookies stood out in the crowd of people gathered outside of South Fork Suites as the players searched for their belongings. They looked a little apprehensive and unsure about how they were to go about getting their personal bags off the truck. But after watching several veteran players collect their bags, the rookies figured out what to do and quickly gathered their things.

The local River Falls bike shop, The Route, had a table set up for rentals by players.Red and white Trek mountain bikes featuring the Chiefs logo on the top handlebar were lined-up and ready for the players. Adam Schmidt, owner of The Route, said “You can buy them and we can ship them back home for you,” to players asking about how long they are allowed to have the bikes. The bikes are available after camp for $250. Isaac Curtis said the rental price for the bikes are $75 which includes a lock for all of camp. He said they brought 40 bikes to the camp for rental and there are more in stock at the shop if they are needed. Tackle Damion McIntosh talked to other players in-line about how he bikes everywhere and tries not to spend any money at training camp. After renting a bike, players were given a green folder containing a sheet with information and discount rates.

There was plenty of horsepower parked in the lot east of South Fork Suites. H3 Hummers, Ford Expeditions, Dodge Chargers, Chevy Tahoes, Range Rovers and Lincoln Navigators were among the vehicles Enterprise of Hudson, Wis. made available for players to choose from. Enterprise anticipated 15 players would rent vehicles for use during camp.

A group of five to seven players were overheard making plans to do some shopping at ShopKo. They looked like they were on a mission as they left quickly. A player yelled from his third-floor window to a player sitting in a black Lincoln MKX on the street below. The player in the window wanted to know who the driver was taking to ShopKo with him, and if they wouldn’t mind waiting for him to come as well. The driver agreed to wait for his teammate.

Players
Two of the Chiefs’ most productive offensive players, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and running back Larry Johnson, were both absent at the beginning of last year’s training camp; but both reported on time this year, and spent a couple minutes talking with the media.

As Bowe began looking for his bags among the players’ suitcases, a reporter asked Bowe if he was worried about a Herm Edwards training camp, to which Bowe assuredly replied, “Not worried about nothing but my opponent…Show me my opponent.” Bowe also told reporters he was tired, but excited to be at camp. When asked about top draft pick defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey’s absence, Bowe said he told Dorsey to be patient but added that he was happy to be at camp on time this year.

Johnson-after checking out a LCD TV one of the players brought-said he was excited to be at camp this year and added that he felt weird after not attending camp last year. He said he felt like he was “on vacation.” When asked about the drafting of running back Jamaal Charles out of Texas and second-year running back Kolby Smith, Johnson said, “I’m cool with those guys being back there, anything that helps prolong my career is good.” Johnson also said that with the new offense he feels he can get back to his 2005-2006 stats and expressed that the offense will not be as predictable as it was last year. Johnson finished talking with the media by saying that he’s the vet on the team, and it’s going to be fun to be out on the field “sweating it out.”

Cornerback Patrick Surtain, an 11-year veteran of the league, was approached by the media in the parking lot of South Fork Suites and asked about his preparation for camp. Surtain responded by saying, “Being a veteran you know what’s expected, so you prepare the utmost, each and every year. There’s like 50 new guys, and I haven’t seen their face before, and they’re hungry. As a veteran you have to come in and bring the same kind of intensity.”

Defensive End Jason Parker, who is in his first training camp with the Chiefs, was learning the lay of the land. Parker was a fountain of questions for bystanders, on everything from the cost of renting a bike to getting directions to the University Center, where meals are served.

Safety Bernard Pollard answered questions from the media as he stood next to his black BMW M6. Pollard, stocked up groceries from Wal-Mart, commented, “Got to have lots of oatmeal for camp.” With his memory foam inserts and Jordan shoes in hand, Pollard looked to be prepared for the long camp ahead. He said he was exited for camp and more

comfortable with his weight and position going into camp this year than he was last year. “Not many people are expecting much, but I’m expecting a lot,” he said expressing optimism for the team’s success this year.

Sunday, July 27, 2008: Afternoon Practice

Editor's Note: Chiefs fans who may be trying to access the training camp photo gallery may have difficulty doing so due to the power outage caused by the storm yesterday. We are working to fix any inconveniences. We appreciate your patience as we try to solve this problem.

Offense

After special teams concluded its drills, quarterbacks warmed up by throwing go routes to wide receivers, tight ends and running backs. Full back Oliver Hoyte made a juggling catch from quarterback Brodie Croyle that concluded the warm up, enticing a cheer from the fans in the stands.

After the team split into positions, the running backs worked on the agility ropes and took handoffs from coaches while they worked on finding holes. Running Backs Coach Curtis Modkins shouted to the running backs during the drill: “Find it and hit it, no dancing.” Starting running back Larry Johnson sat out that drill, but participated in the agility ropes.

During an 11-on-11 walk-through with the offense playing both the offense and defense, quarterback Tyler Thigpen worked with the second string, while former starting quarterback Damon Huard worked with the third string. Thigpen completed all four of his passes.

The intensity of practice was low-key until an 11-on-11 drill brought the offense and defense together. On quarterback Brodie Croyle’s second pass attempt, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe nearly made a spectacular one-handed catch that brought on gasps from the crowd. Quarterback Damon Huard started the drill with the second string but after an incomplete pass, quarterback Tyler Thigpen entered and completed a pass to wide receiver Jeff Webb.

After 11-on-11, the offensive and defensive lines went and worked on blocking while the rest of the team did a 7-on-7 drill. Quarterback Brodie Croyle completed all six of his attempts in the drill including and tight end Tony Gonzalez made a sliding catch.

Defense

Special Teams

Extra, Extra...

Players were on the practice fields early today to work on skills and technique. Many were out on the field at 3:13—45 minutes before practice was scheduled to begin—when safety Khayyam Burns started catching short 10-yard passes from a Juggs machine. He practiced catching and going by back pedaling between two short blue cones set 5 yards apart, catching the pass and then curling out to the sideline. Khayyam was joined by safety DaJuan Morgan and cornerbacks Maurice Leggett, Brandon Flowers and Rashad Barksdale a few minutes later.

Offensive tackle Branden Albert received some personal instruction on blocking from Offensive Line Coach Joe D’Alessandris before practice began. D’Alessandris ran Albert through different scenarios while telling him what his job would be in each situation.

An anxious fan dressed in a Louisiana State University jersey and baseball cap approached wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and asked him to autograph a LSU football helmet as Bowe made his way to Ramer Field for the team stretch. Bowe quickly signed the helmet as the man said he didn’t want to get him in trouble. About two minutes later, the same man with his young sons by his side flagged over defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey to sign the same helmet. Dorsey signed it and continued to make his way to Ramer Field. The fan was thrilled and said, "Thank you Glenn."

Tight end Tony Gonzalez worked on coming out of breaks and catching passes with coaches prior to the start of practice.

The practice began on Ramer Field at 3:45. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe laid on the sideline and got stretched out while offensive and defensive players worked on special teams.

Wide receiver Devard Darling talked with the media after practice. When asked if he thought he was going to be the starter, Darling replied: “Just going out there trying to get better every day, nothing’s guaranteed.” Darling also said that the offense is pretty simple, calling it a “just go out there and play offense.”

Any reason for concern?
