Yes, on the field. Chris Horn and some other Chris.

Because Hali's pass rush is balls.

(sp?) threw the ball well in drills, and Thigpen looked BAD again tonight running with the #3 team behind Croyle.

Thigpen IS who I thought he WAS!!! THIGPEN LOVERS -

! YOU WERE WRONG!

river falls site update...

Defense

Linebackers Demorrio Williams, Monty Beisel and Weston Dacus and cornerback DaJuan Morgan worked out instead of participating in practice this afternoon. Dacus was seen with a brace on his right ankle. Linebacker Zach Thomas was nowhere to be found during practice, as well.

During one of the defensive line drills, Defensive Line Coach Tim Krumrie hollered, “Compete now. Compete with yourself!” Later, the group ran a drill on the single sled. Krumrie expected the men to “lock it out, then disengage.” After hitting the sled once, the players hit it for a second time before charging at Equipment Assistant Kyle Crumbaugh, who represented the ball carrier. During the drill, defensive end Glenn Dorsey got complimented by Krumrie. “The second one was really good,” the coach told the second-year player.

The cornerbacks worked on a new drill this afternoon. They were leveling the cone-shaped dummies at the goal line. After the drill, a trainer stretched safety Jon McGraw’s legs.

During 11-on-11, rookie defensive end Alex Magee continued to work with the first-string. Defensive end Glenn Dorsey, practicing for only the third time today, switched with Magee after one play. Two plays later, Magee was in for Dorsey again. Also during 11-on-11, safety Bernard Pollard clobbered running back Larry Johnson after a quarterback Matt Cassel handoff. Linebacker Corey Mays was pretty fired up after the play and jumped on Pollard’s back as he walked back to the defensive side of the ball.

During 7-on-7 on field 2, safety Jon McGraw picked off quarterback Brodie Croyle’s pass in the endzone and took a knee.

Linebackers Derrick Johnson and Corey Mays teamed up to sack quarterback Matt Cassel during the team’s 11-on-11 third down situation drill.

Cornerback Brandon Flowers spoke with reporters after practice. At the start of the interview, defensive end Alfonso Boone was fooling around with Flowers said that he loves the 3-4 defense the Chiefs are running this season. “It doesn’t really affect the secondary much,” the second-year back said. When told the reporter interviewing him just started following the cornerback on Twitter, a short messaging website, Flowers laughed. He said he uses Twitter to let fans know things about his life. “It’s good for interacting with fans,” he said. When asked if he thought he’d get in trouble for what he puts on the site, like several other athletes have in the past, Flowers said, “I wouldn’t put anything on there that would let me get in trouble.”
Offense

On field 2, the quarterbacks Brodie Croyle, Matt Cassel, Tyler Thigpen and newly acquired Matt Gutierrez took snaps under center. The players snapping the ball included center Rudy Niswanger, center Eric Ghiaciuc, guard Brian De La Puente and guard Darryl Harris.

The quarterbacks spent time on field 2, throwing at the screen target. Matt Cassel threw 2-4, hitting the lower target twice. Brodie Croyle also went 2-4. Matt Gutierrez and Tyler Thigpen both threw 3-4 from the right. On the left side, Cassel and Croyle went 3-4, and Gutierrez and Thigpen went 2-4.

During 7-on-7, quarterback Matt Cassel was disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm during the drill and hollered, “The energy level is down, guys. Let’s pick it up.” Also during the drill, tight end Brad Cottam had to run from the south end of field 2 to Hunt Arena and back. It was some form of consequence.

During a drill, wide receiver Devard Darling was sent running to Hunt Arena by Head Coach Todd Haley. Haley said, “Go run. Run to the building and stay there for all I care. Are you kidding me?” The reason Darling had to run was because he lined up in the wrong spot during the drill. When Darling tried talking to Haley, the head coach yelled, “Take it in. I want guys who want to be here and aren’t sensitive and emotionally soft. Take it in.” After practice, Haley said he had no comments regarding the situation.

The quarterbacks met on field 2 to try to hit bucket targets in the corners of the endzone. All four quarterbacks were able to hit the exterior of the buckets, but only Matt Cassel could score the ball in the target during the drill from the right side. All four quarterbacks were able to make contact with the buckets from the left side as well. On the release of one of his throws, Cassel said, “Boom shock-a-locka.” Newly acquired quarterback Matt Gutierrez was able to make the ball into the target from the left side.

more from the river falls site...

During the “Half-Line” drill, which pits three defensemen against three to four offensive linemen and tight ends, linebacker Turk McBride broke threw the line and blew the play in the backfield.

On the first play of the “Team Run” drill, which is 7-on-7 running plays, defensive end Alex Magee made his presence known. Magee pushed tackle Branden Albert back into the backfield and right into running back Larry Johnson. Johnson was able to stay up and fought for a five-yard gain. Veteran linebacker Mike Vrabel didn’t seem too pleased with the effort from the rest of the defense. “Recognize these (freaking) formations!”

The biggest defensive play of the day was made during the team’s 11-on-11 drill by defensive end Alex Magee and was finished by linebacker Andy Studebaker. Magee drilled running back Jackie Battle, who fumbled the football. The ball took one hop right into the hands of Studebaker, who took it to the house.

While doing some one-on-one blocking drills, rookie defensive end Alex Magee dominated tight end Sean O’Connell. Before the interaction started, Defensive Line Coach Tim Krumrie told Magee, “He is just a tight end.”

Defensive end Tamba Hali was seen working with Defensive Line Coach Tim Krumrie after practice, getting some extra reps.

Offense

Quarterback Matt Gutierrez, who just signed with the team after being waived by the New England Patriots, was in camp today wearing number 15. Gutierrez was hanging around Offensive Quality Control Coach Nick Sirianni trying to soak up the offense.

Tackle Colin Brown was working with Assistant Offensive Line Coach Joe D’Alessandris on his footwork before practice.

Newly acquired wide receiver Amani Toomer snagged a fade one-handed today from quarterback Matt Cassel. There seems to be emphasis on fade routes the last few days.

Quarterback Matt Cassel got the team off to a good start in the team’s 11-on-11 drill. Cassel hit tight end Sean Ryan on a short out-route that went for over 30 yards. Cassel was fired up. “Look at that 30-yard gain, baby!” he said. Linebacker Tamba Hali caught some grief from Head Coach Todd Haley as a result. “That’s a breakdown 9-1!”

The team worked on 11-on-11 third down situations today. Each down came from varying distances. Quarterback Matt Cassel didn’t get the drill off to a very good start. Cassel dropped back four times. He was sacked once and completed only one of three throws. Quarterback Brodie Croyle made three throws during the session. The second was hauled in a for a first down by receiver Rodney Wright. Croyle’s third pass was completed to wide receiver Terrance Copper and was very close to the first down. Croyle finished 2-3. Next it was quarterback Tyler Thigpen’s chance to make some throws. Thigpen put the ball in the air completing all of them. Receiver Bobby Engram caught the first ball and was extremely close to the first down. On the next play, Thigpen hit receiver Taurus Johnson for the first down and more. The last play of the drill was a completed pass from Thigpen to Wright, but was short of the first down.

To wrap up this afternoon’s practice, the Chiefs ran a late-game situation where a touchdown was needed to win. This session was officiated by NFL official Mike Carey and his crew. Quarterback Matt Cassel got the drive going, hitting receiver Rodney Wright for a first down. Cassel went back to Wright on the next play, but the ball skipped in front of a sliding Wright. Cornerback Maurice Leggett nearly ended the drive when he stepped in front of a Cassel pass. Leggett was unable to hold on, but if he had, it would have surely ended in six points for the defense. Facing third-and-ten, Cassel found running back Jamaal Charles out of the backfield for a first down. After spiking the ball to kill the clock on first down, Cassel hit receiver Bobby Engram down the middle for a first down. Wide receiver Mark Bradley hauled in the next pass for another first down. While trying to kill the clock, Charles was still in motion, and a flag was thrown. Head Coach Todd Haley had a few words for Charles. “That is a killer, Jamaal! You can be anywhere. You can be 10 yards back if you want!” Haley shouted. Cassel tried to go to the endzone with the next two throws, but they landed incomplete. The offense was facing fourth-and-fifteen from the 23-yard line, needing a score. Cassel’s pass was complete to Wright but short of the first down, giving the win to the defense. The second-team offense tried their luck next, but it was a quick four and out. Linebacker Vince Redd knocked down the final pass, ending the drill.
