• offseason needs offseason needs

  • From: BradyCollier
  • Description:

    so heres the moves i think the chiefs need to make this offseason so set us up for the future of the organization.
    
    1. resign bowe and carr. if you cant resign both, sign one and franchise the other and work something out the next year.
    2. sign peyton manning to a 3 year deal. hes healthy and will literally run our offense no matter who the oc is. and now that haleys gone, hed have that control he likes. lets romeo focus on the defense and peyton and to-be-named oc run the offense. not to mention peyton will groom stanzi for 3 years before hanging it up. then stanzi will be set to go for a few years to command a good chiefs team.
    3. bring in decastro for our oline. guy is predicted to be an absolute monster in the nfl as a guard. between lilja, asomuah(sp), and decastro we'll be looking great at the guard position for a couple of years.
    4. bring in carl nicks or bring back gaither next year at rt. gaither should never have been cut and between haley and muir, they screwed us big time. cut richardson and bring in a decent prospect later in the draft (rounds 5-6). throw money at nicks and he'll be ours. then you have albert, decastro, weigman (if he comes back) or hudson, lilja/asom., and nicks/gaither. thats a damn good line if you ask me.
    5. with our second round pick, we may have to trade up for it, but bring in doug martin, chris polk, or isaiah pead. all three are similar running backs that are shifty, hit the holes hard, and can break one at any time.
    6. bring in soliai from miami for our nt. the guy is a monster and can actually get to the passer. even though thats not the job of a nt in the 3-4, its a plus we would like to have. think about it. he flushes the qb out of the pocket making the qb have to think fast. he flushes them right into the arms of hali and houston. just saying it would be nice. dj and belcher can stuff the run if he lacks in that but let him get to the qb.
    
    thats what i think we need to do to become a team this next year that can get deep into the playoffs. thoughts?

  • From: chiefs12

    So i have been doin some deep research and have thought of some names that could be possible oc for our team. most of them have no oc experience. Most are offensive minded coaches on the patriots/giants.

    Brian Daboll-OC miami-unemployed, former patriot

    Sean Ryan-WR giants- got nicks and cruz duo 1000 yards

    Brian Ferentz- Interesting name kirk ferentz's oldest son is known for making the dynamic TE duo in NE-TE NE

    K Gilbride-Offensive assisant Giants-Kevin Gilbrides son.

    Mike Sullivan-

    Jerald Ingram- WR-NYG--has produced talented Rbs

    Jim Zorn-Qb Coach-KC

    Maurice Carthon-RB-KC

    Pat Perles-OLA-KC

    Nick Sirianni-OQC-KC

    MATT has taken some bs from fans for his play (ITS ALL BS) first the oline is horrible the play calling is just as bad and has had a different oc every year you cant build a team if you change the oc every year because each oc has different ways and its a learning process every year  so all the Matt talk is bs and Jess what hes going to have another oc again

    Scott Pioli needs to make every effort to land peyton manning if the colts let him go. he can show cassell a thing or two and stanzy could learn from a legend which would benifit him greatly.  we would instantly be super bowl contenders with our great defense. plus bowe, baldwin, moeaki, and charles would dominate the field.

• Draft & Needs - What do you th Draft & Needs - What do you think?

  • From: Smith35KC
  • Description:

    With Tony Moeaki , Jamaal Charles , Eric Berry , Jon Baldwin , and Matt Cassel being the big names that were gone most of the season you have to wonder why we don't have more depth.

     

    Tony Moeaki - When we lost Tony Moeaki and it was a hard blow , but we got those darn packers back didn't we. But Besides Pope who dropped a few TD's this year we really didn't have a TE to throw to. As you watch the New England patriots you see how a great athletic TE has alot of favorable match ups vs linebackers since we have some deep threats. So why no back ups?

    Eric Berry - Besides Derrick Johnson , Eric Berry has been our teams hardest hitter , biggest play maker and has the best turn over ratio when throwing at his side of the field. You can't replace a guy like that but his back up is JOHN McGRAW... old , slow , can't tackle , can't hit! Sabby , Langford and Washington...... I mean besides lewis our safties are complet garbage , I believe that we should cut them all and aim either a CB so we can move Areans back to saftey or another saftey so we can play a 3 deep zone every now and then or let Berry and Lewis get a break.

     

    Jon Baldwin - Everybody says what a let down you...... I would usually agree but man with the NFL LOCKOUT he didn't get to spend any time with the team , he didn't get any time learning the playbook or building a relationship with ANY QB. He almost missed alot of preseason due to a locker room fight with THOMAS JONES!!! I believe he will get a second chance and have a great 2nd season.

     

    Matt Cassel - I still haven't jumped on board with ANY QB since Trent Green , the closest I ever got was Tyler Thigpen and we traded him. Matt Cassel has huge targets and a great run threat and still can't win games. Week 17 vs Oakland 2 years ago he threw 3 picks. Then threw 3 more vs the Ravens in our loss. Never consistant and doesn't really have a big arm. I believe they should cut all besides Orton and aim for a QB in this years draft , trade up or just keep 10... Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford , RG3 - QB - Baylor , and  Nick Foles - QB - Arizona

     

    Jamaal Charles - NUFF SAID

     

    I believe the Chiefs need to go after a few things ....

     

    O - LINE - The Chiefs have done a great job these past few years grabbing Linemen in the 1st and 2nd rounds , if we continue this we will be able to block for Matt Cassel much better maybe , just maybe then we will see an improved Matt Cassel from his 15 TD season with Dwayne Bowe. Since Jamaal Charles is back Dexter McCluster can contiue to play slot WR giving Matt Cassel 4 targets with a running game to keep the defnese on their heels. I would like to see KC draft Matt Kalil -  OT -  USC or Riley Reiff - OT - Iowa

     

    D - LINE / Linebacker - Depending on how they plan on using rising stars Justin Houston & Allen Bailey we will need a OLB or DE and man there are some good ones who will be left with the 10th pick of the draft. With Tamba Hali plaing great as usual I belive with another pass rusher off the edge we could finally move Glenn Dorsery to a perment DT along with Tyson Jackson and have a BEAST Defensive line. Quinton Coples -  DE - North Carolina or at linebacker Melvin Ingram - OLB - South Carolina ,  Luke Kuechly - LB -  Boston College or Courtney Upshaw -OLB - Alabama.

     

    If you like , dislike or completely agree with me 100% please let me know its that time of year where I love talking football and about the draft. My Xbox live Gamertag is - Feldgar and you can find me on youtube - Smith35KC I post youtube videos about Madden im 71 - 32 right now and I use the Chiefs. Add me , subscribe and most importantly comment.

     

     Have a great off season

• Competing for a job Competing for a job

  • From: dodgedirt
  • Description:

    I do think this the best way to find out what you really have on the field at the sametime the competition needs to stay in the sights of the starter for this reason alone it reminds the starter that there is someone waiting to fill the roll if a problem surfaces and this should be the case in all positions on the field for the season. Lets keep Orton and Castle shore up where needed and play every game as if it were the one to keep us from going to the Superbowl. The Chiefs can and will win in 2012.

• OC under Romey Rome OC under Romey Rome

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    I have read all kinds of things since our season ended yet there have been so few things coming out of Arrowhead.  I am noticing that some pretty big jobs are popping up everywhere for OC's here are todays new openings-

    Steelers

    Packers

    Both are well built teams with great history, talent and coaching staffs.  Where are we in making a decision on our OC?  I have not heard of any interviews taking place, no possibilities being discussed publicly.  Is Muir Retiring? 

    Cmon I am a fan, why all the secrecy our season is over and while I am enjoying watching the playoffs....I want to get excited about the Chiefs next year.  I want to hear about the offseason, I want to hear what a great place it is to work, I want to get excited about the Chiefs.

• The Chiefs Way The Chiefs Way

  • From: ChiefsFaithful_NY
  • Description:

    Is it me? Or is everybody tired of all the talk about the "Patriot Way"?  How about the Chiefs Way?  Remember when the 49ers were winning Super Bowls and KC started coveting San Fran rejects?  Bono comes to mind.  Ok, yes; getting Montana was a good move, but the point is forget this way or that way and start making, or re-making, the Chiefs way! 

    The Chiefs had a way...remember?  I didn't see much of those years - I barely remember the Super Bowl, but I do know that the Chiefs Way once won a Super Bowl, not to mention AFL Championships.  I do know that the Chiefs Way produced Len Dawson, Willie Lanier, Otis Taylor, Emmit Thomas, Mike Garrett, Buch Buchanan and Jan Stenerud.  Do I need to continue?  By the way, does anybody remember what a great punter Jerrell Wilson was?  Can you tell I own a copy (a signed copy) of "Warpaths" by Alan Hoskins?

    And what was the Chiefs way?  Innovation, imagination, style with substance, guts, excitement, and a team of great players (future Hall of Famers to boot).  And the Coach!  Hank Stram.  Now there was an original!

    We don't need no Patriot Way.  My advise to Arrowhead: live and long live the Chiefs Way!

• Running back Running back

  • From: gatorfan1
  • Description:

    I think kansas city should go after Trent Richarson in the draft , look how many times we were on the 2 yards line and kicked a field goal we need a running back that can punch the ball in on short yard plays he is the man to do it. Thomas jones isnt good enought and charles is to small get a good running back like priest holmes or christian okoya.

• confusion confusion

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    i keep getting rejected so I am trying again.

    In trying to bring in FA's and Coordinators don't you think they want to see a great place to work, a great team environment and management that is building towards a vision of winning Super Bowls.  It is called PR and right now we need some good PR badly if we want to attract FA's and the type of OC that will allow us to get to the dance and win it.

    On another thought- The NFL needs to reprimand the referrees after the horrible calls in the past few weeks.   The Giants Packers game is a prime example.  I am really confused if the replays they see are the same ones we see.  If not can we get them access to the major networks?  Let me know what you think.

    Romeo Romeo how much will thou take on Romeo?

    I just saw the article announcing Romey Rome will keep his staff from last year and continue to call the defensive plays like he did at the end of last season.

    This cements it, we need a BIG TIME OC.  Can anyone think of a possibility besides Zorn and Hue?  There are just too many vacancies, my head is spinning.

• Bringing In New Talent Bringing In New Talent

  • From: chiefsfaninva
  • Description:

    I realize Haley was not a good fit for the Chiefs and I am happy they promoted Romeo.  I hope they bring in a talented OC and a solid DC to give Romeo the capability to manage and develop consistent success.  If they do bring in the proper coaching talent under Romeo then my number one concern is the GM and Ownership- will they bring in the personnel to get us to the Super Bowl?

    So far Pioli's drafts and personnel/FA decisions have been average at best, but often weak.  That is not why we brought him in, we need to get serious about the team to acquire and develop the talent to win Super Bowls.  It seems like Pioli only looks for the diamond in the rough and aside from Berry I have not seen him taking the shiny diamond (TJax vs Orakpoe etc).  We have significantly overpaid for players like Cassel, Tjax and Dorsey and do I need to say anything about the release of Waters or Gaither? 

    I love the chiefs, but we need to open up the checkbook and get real value out of this offseason, not just big names, but spend for the long-term talent that we need.  Nicks, etc...

    My hopes for this offseason sign Carr, McClain and Bowe-

    Make moves in FA for People like Nicks, Tolbert, Desean

    Can we get a A draft at some point?  Real Talent and Real Value?  Can we please take our lumps quicker on mistakes (Tyson Jackson, etc...) and cut people when they are bad or take way too long to develop?

    Starters needed-

    Tackle, Guard, DE, NT, C (maybe Hudson?)

    Depth needed-

    QB, RB, anywhere on the OL, DL, Safety, CB, TE, WR

    We lost key players last year to injury and to poor management.  We will automatically be considerabley better next year just getting our hurt players back.  We were tremendously weak at O line and we let Waters go to NE for nothing.  A pro bowler for nothing is this what you call team management?  We could have won playoff games this year if Pioli and Hunt built a team with talent and depth, but that was not the case. Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!

    This year should be all about moving on from mistakes and building the Oline and the Dline.  We need to put ourselves in position to mortgage the farm to finally get a Tier 1 Long-term Franchise QB next year.  Cassel is NOT a Franchise QB, we overpaid for a QB who is not very mobile, cannot throw an accurate long ball and folds under pressure.  I know Pioli loves him, but he needs to bring in real talent.  Lets face it Cassel and Orton are very similar with 2 differences- Orton can throw a long ball with accuracy and distance that Cassel is not capable of and in the face of real pressure this year he put up stronger numbers.

    If we have another bad draft and another weak showing in FA, Pioli should be fired.  A few tweaks and we are Super Bowl bound, but with offseasons like last year it will take decades to get there.  What say you Chiefs Nation?

• GO HC ROMEO! MCDANIELS FOR OC! GO HC ROMEO! MCDANIELS FOR OC!

  • From: Utalis
  • Description:

    Very happy to see the Chiefs organization go with Romeo Crennel as the new head coach! Now all Kansas City needs is a brilliant offensive cordinator to get the Chiefs offense moving in the right direction!

    Now many of you have voiced your opinions about Josh McDaniels, but lets be honest Josh McDaniels would be the perfect fit for the Kansas City Chiefs. McDaniels is not only familiar with GM Scott Pioli and Head Coach Romeo Crennel, but Matt Cassel and Kyle Orton have both had their best seasons under Josh McDaniels.

    Cassel is already familiar with McDaniels offensive system so an easy transition for Cassel, re-sign Orton as the reliable back-up he knows McDaniels offense as well, cut Palko, and groom Stanzi at the 3rd quarterback position. 

    Bring in McDaniels as offensive cordinator now! Pry him away from Darth Bellichick!

• Head Coach Crennel Head Coach Crennel

  • From: ChiefsFaithful_NY
  • Description:

    I'm glad Romeo got the job.  I have to admit I didn't know he is 64 years old - I have no problem with that fact.  I was just surprised; I figured he was mid-50s.  I did read a reply (not on this site) written by someone who does have a problem with a 64 yr. old head coach.  Nonsense!  Marv Levy was about that age when he took over the Bills and subsequently led Buffalo to four consecutive Super Bowls.  So many people in our culture think there is no life at all worth pursuing if one is over 50...even 40! Needless to say, it is an entirely superficial view of life, believed by people who are about as deep as the average puddle of water on your wet driveway. 

    I don't know if Romeo will lead KC to the promised land, but he at least deserves the opportunity.  If it doesn't happen and he's done in three years, then so be it.  For this moment and for this team, he is the right man.  We need a great defense; if you hadn't noticed, the AFC West is getting very competitive and probably will be for a few years to come.

    A comment on Marty S., who is interviewing for the Bucs head coaching job: I hope he gets it and I hope he's successful.  Marty was screwed, first by the Redskins and then the Chargers.  He's a great coach and I wouldn't mind it one bit if he won a Super Bowl.  As Chiefs fans, we should be happy that the Chargers' front office were idiots enough to fire Marty after a 14-2 season, because the Chargers would be a helluva lot better with him as coach.  All the best Marty, and of course Romeo!

• Kyle Orton Kyle Orton

  • From: ChiefsFaithful_NY
  • Description:

    I just watched Kyle Orton's "From the Podium" press conference and couldn't resist making a comment or two.

    Like anyone who follows the NFL, I knew that Orton was a starter for Chicago and Denver (I don't remember if there were any other teams), but I only saw him play maybe twice (its all Bills, Giants and Jets in this part of the country).  Now that I've paid attention more closely, including listening to his press conferences, he seems to be a very good QB with all the necessary attributes of a team player (like humility).  He was thankful the Chiefs gave him an opportunity to play again this season and I'd like to give a shout out to him for helping KC to finish strong.  

    I think it was the first play of his first game with the Chiefs when Kyle was injured; they went on to lose that game (vs. ?) and Haley went on to lose his job.  That injury makes me think: if Orton did not get hurt and miss that game, perhaps that could have been a win and if a win, then maybe Haley doesn't lose his job, and KC goes on to win a couple of more games, and bam! We're in playoffs!  But 'if' is the middle word in 'life' isn't it? 

    Good luck wherever your career takes you K. Orton.

• The Front 3 The Front 3

  • From: ChiefChuck
  • Description:

     You know guys, looking at the numbers alone the starting front 3 accounted for over 150 tackles this season. This is not really that bad. In this defense the bulk of the tackles belong to the linebackers, which leads me to this point. Derrick Johnsons over130 tackles and Jovan Belcher with 87 tackles, it coould have been even higher.

      What is my point?  I'm saying they ain't gettin no love. They may not be killin' QB's but they are pretty good against the run. Job done. I ain't sayin' that they are great, but better than they are being given credit for. I aint saying that they can't be improved upon, they can still be improved. When you add the production of the sub packages and blitz packages they are really a shade above average and improving.

     Justin Houston really came on in the second half of the season and teams weren't prepared for that variable. Amon Gordon, Alan Bailey and Gilberry should help this D nicely, Maybe we will get to see Mr. Poe next season, he may unwrap a new surprise.
