Well, I'm about to head off to go on a lake cruise on Lake Minnetonka with my work... We'll be hopping on a boat from Al & Alma's - the same place that rented the boat for the imfamous "Vikings Sex Boat party." I wanted to wear my Fred Smoot jersey, but I was told that they would not appreciate it. what they appreciate you'd be a Minnesota fan... in Minnesota... wearing a Minnesota Vikings jersey. em.

I have friends who are convinced the Chiefs will be a playoff team next year. I'm not convinced they'll win 6 games.

Looks good for him hopefully he can reach his goal this year and pick up 1300 yards. i hope he can get 1500 and I think he has the potential to do so. Lets see.
Yes. Looking good so far. Hopefully they can do some good stops this year on The D line. I hope they can pull of and make it into the playoffs. They werent far from it last year. Holt is looking better which is sick, They got a great QB marc Bulger and now he has a great WR. As well as Issac Bruce. And there D is shaping up. There running game might be decent too.

Everything I have heard is that Petrino isn't a fan of Dunn. I always thought of Dunn as more of a change-of-pace back than an every-down back. I could see Norwood getting 1,000+ rushing and 300-400 receiving -- but only if Mike Vick is the QB. If he isn't, good luck. Joey Harrington and DJ Shockley aren't going to distract the defenses like Vick does and that running game is going to be downright pathetic.

I give up on Pacman. Indeed. I'll be shocked if he ever plays for the Titans again. *sigh* Why couldn't it have been Andre Woolfolk? He's gonna get cut anyways.

I have friends who are convinced the Chiefs will be a playoff team next year. I'm not convinced they'll win 6 games. Being one of I think two Chief fans here, I'll try to address this. Barring a serious holdout from Larry Johnson, I believe the Chiefs have the potential to be a playoff team. Nevertheless, I also think that it depends solely on QB play from either Brodie Croyle or Damon Huard. Now that offensive tackle, Jordan Black, thankfully signed with the Texans (a log would've been a better left tackle, since it could've had the potential to at least trip defensive ends), I think they can fare better in the offensive line position. Even with Will Shields retiring this past season, his right guard position will be filled by John Welbourn, whose natural position is at guard. As for the tackle positions, I have more faith in Chris Terry & Damion McIntosh than last years' tandem of Black & Kyle Turley. I certainly think that the defense will be better with a new pair of second year safeties in Jarrad Page & Bernard Pollard, the re-acquisition of LB Donnie Edwards, and the newly added MLB Napoleon Harris. As well, after the draft, I think that even with Jared Allen suspended for the first four games of the season, the defensive line still looks promising with the new rookies Turk McBride & DeMarcus Tyler, to be paired with Tamba Hali, Ron Edwards, James Reed, & Alfonso Boone. Now it all comes back to the QB position. Early reports so far have indicated Brodie Croyle looking pretty decent, but we'll have to wait till training camp to see more. If Croyle or Huard can do enough to play Herm Edwards' "ball control" type of play, along with the backfield of LJ/Michael Bennett/Kolby Smith and the WR duo of Dwayne Bowe & Eddie Kennison, I can definitely see the Chiefs being in the playoff hunt this year.

Barring a serious holdout from Larry Johnson, I believe the Chiefs have the potential to be a playoff team. Nevertheless, I also think that it depends solely on QB play from either Brodie Croyle or Damon Huard. The thing is, Johnson's agent said today that he IS planning on holding out unless he gets a new contract. The Chiefs don't seem to want to re-sign him for whatever reason, so this could turn into a nasty situation, especially if they give Johnson an "insulting" offer. Now that offensive tackle, Jordan Black, thankfully signed with the Texans (a log would've been a better left tackle, since it could've had the potential to at least trip defensive ends), I think they can fare better in the offensive line position. Even with Will Shields retiring this past season, his right guard position will be filled by John Welbourn, whose natural position is at guard. As for the tackle positions, I have more faith in Chris Terry & Damion McIntosh than last years' tandem of Black & Kyle Turley. The offensive line is going to be downright bad. It's going to take at least a few games for them to start to play well together and even then, I'm not confident in them. I certainly think that the defense will be better with a new pair of second year safeties in Jarrad Page & Bernard Pollard, the re-acquisition of LB Donnie Edwards, and the newly added MLB Napoleon Harris. Napoleon Harris sucks... But yeah, the defense should be a bit better.

Well. the big issue in KC this offseason has been between giving Larry Johnson his money or giving DE Jared Allen a contract after this year.
Jared Allen has already stated that he will likely play his 12 games this year, but that will be all for his time as a Chief. He said to have already sold his homes in KC, and that his issue with management can not be fixed. And I simply don't think they can afford to pay Johnson & Allen the money that they both desire.
For LJ, even if he has had near 700 carries in the past 2 seasons, I still believe the Chiefs should offer him the big contract. But I just don't think it should be LT type money. Johnson certainly deserves a raise from the rookie contract salary he is currently making, but I would hope he'd work on issues he needs to sort out before KC gives him that gigantic deal. He has proven he can run hard, but his blocking in the backfield and ability to play a receiver for screen passes has been abysmal at times. But even despite those problems, I still admit it is essential that the team makes a deal before training camp because no matter which way you look at it, Larry Johnson is the offense of the team.
And yeah, I do agree that the offensive line will need time to gel. But if you recall last year, the Chiefs had tackles moving in & out game after game. There was never any continuity for the middle 3 (Shields, Wiegmann, Waters) to familiarize themselves with the tackles.
McIntosh has at least been starting this past year, although I think it was because Miami's starting LT got injured. But I'm not completely confident at the right tackle spot, since the man supposedly filling that, Chris Terry, has only played in one game since 2004, and that was the disgusting performance against the Colts in the playoffs last season. But if these two guys could stay healthy (which was the main problem for the tackles last year), I think they can atleast be better than last year's unit, even without Big Willie at RG.
Napoleon Harris may not be the best MLB, but I certainly think he's better than the residential caveman KC had last year, Kawika Mitchell. Kawika was a good run stopper, but that's where it ended. He was incapable of playing against the pass, and he just wasn't the leader that the MLB position demands. I think Harris, although not a large upgrade, can still be more effective in the Cover 2 scheme Coach Edwards runs.

There was never any continuity for the middle 3 (Shields, Wiegmann, Waters) to familiarize themselves with the tackles. Yeah, and the offensive line wasn't very good last year. Johnson's YPC dropped almost an entire yard . Napoleon Harris may not be the best MLB, but I certainly think he's better than the residential caveman KC had last year, Kawika Mitchell. Kawika was a good run stopper, but that's where it ended. He was incapable of playing against the pass, and he just wasn't the leader that the MLB position demands.

He is awful in coverage and is hardly adequete against the run.
