Billy Baber really pissed off the Chargers last year... - Page 5

As I said in an earlier post last week, I spent the end of last week in Georgia helping out with Chargers linebacker Randall Godfrey's football camp. A friend is good friends with Randall.

Anyway, I was talking to him Saturday night and he told me a great story about Baber.

Last year, the Chargers brought in Baber the week before the first meeting with the Chiefs. He said they did the usual, tried to get information out of him about KC.

Well Baber told the Chargers that when Gonzalez turns to his left and says "g" on the line, that means a power run is coming.

So, in the game, when the Chargers heard G, Ben Leber would step up to stop the run.

One problem, G was a call for a pass, not a run.

Baber gave them false calls to screw up the defense. He basically made the week's salary by giving them dummy calls.

Godfrey said after a couple times they picked up on it, but the Chargers aren't too happy with Baber and cut him immediately after the game.

Oh yeah, also don't be surprised if Donnie Edwards holds out in TC.

Just thought it was a great story to share.

KCChiefs.com revisionist history from Gretz: "Donnie Edwards...was stupidly dispatched by former defensive coordinator Greg Robinson..."

The day he left, Gretz was all about how Donnie was the problem. He wanted too much money, he didn't fit the system, etc. 100% behind Robinson. Now that Robinson was made the scapegoat, he's all over that.
