Chiefs Haley Q&A... talks about the effects of the weight loss on Albert - Page 2

Reading what Haley said of Dorsey reminds me of writing annual reviews for employees that didn't meet the grade, but couldn't be fired. Painful. It's not likely, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before the deadline.

Sounds like the teaching profession

Maybe he should have the whole team go on "Dancing with the stars".

This team looks like its been coaching itself too

Actually, it's an interesting point about Albert. That last year, he might have thrown his weight around as a way of getting in the way of pass rushers instead of using the right technique.

It begs the question... is he really raw at left tackle? Or is he just never going to be good enough?

Of course he's raw, he played guard in college.

I liked Albert better when he was fat, out of shape, used poor technique, and was a better left tackle.

No shit. Albert's game is crap this year and you can blame Haley for that. Sometimes a player is better off being big and fat, especially on the OL.

I'm losing respect for Haley as a coach more and more every week.

Okay...we basically used a spread/pistol/shotgun formation for the last 14 games of the season in an effort to protect the quarterback. Does Albert look good last year because of the Pistol keeping guys off the QB or because he was big and fat?

Everyone around here loves the "pro set." Maybe Albert just ain't a pro set type of guy, especially at the left tackle spot. I mean, the dude was a left guard in college. And that means he's a LT in the pros? That usually doesn't translate. And I like Albert. But is this just another case of Carl/Herm and their staff ****ing up a draft?

Just throwing out some discussion points.

I agree if he is getting the job done at 340 why not leave it alone. If it aint broke don't fix it! With that said i'm still with holding judgement on Haley/Pioli until next year.

His point was that if Albert lost the weight he would be forced to learn the technique he had neglected. All we're seeing now are the weaknesses he already had. If he is really supposed to be a franchise LT he needs some quickness and good feet. We knew we were going to get worse before we got better. Albert is a microcosm of that.

Marcellus · 10-14-2009, 10:55 PM

Sounds like to me they are doing the right thing. It may hurt Albert now but in the end make him a much better player.

Q: Tank Tyler is still listed as a backup. Are you waiting for him to get nastier?

If so, he'll need to wait until Tim Krumrie retires to an island paradise. It's unfortunate that the worst D-line coach in NFL history also apparently has pics of the team's owner giving a BJ.
