Morning Update (Playoff Weekend Edition)

by Chris Thorman on Jan 4, 2008 7:58 AM CST in KC Chiefs News

Arrowhead Addict continues to defend Larry Johnson. I agree -- You can hate the man but don't blur that with his on the field production.
KC Chiefs Fanatic makes a a great point: Carl Peterson needs Herm Edwards to succeed where other coaches have failed, if only to cement his legacy as a great GM.
Hat tip to PVChiefsfan: Jared Allen wins the Derrick Thomas Award and Dwayne Bowe wins the Mack Lee Hill Award for top Chiefs rookie.
Ricky Williams will be back with the Dolphins in 2008. FYI -- I'm out of pot smoking jokes between Ricky Williams and Travis Henry.
Per WPI, Paul Hackett is NOT a candidate for the Chiefs offensive coordinator.
Michael Ash has three key issues for the Chiefs in the off season.
Check out the coaching and front office grades from Mr. Wendler. They're guaranteed to get a rise out of you.
Another great tidbit from WPI -- "However, from what we’ve been told, the only timetable for the Chiefs is finding their new coordinator before the Senior Bowl in Alabama later this month."
Tecmo Bowl simulations for the NFL playoffs? Why not?

Quick conversation starter this Friday. Which playoff games will you be watching this weekend? I haven't told Miss Arrowhead Pride yet but I plan on watching all of them.

I found this interesting, especially Waters move

- According to a report, one of KC's possible free agent targets might be Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs. His contract demands will be the determining factor in the degree of the Chiefs' interest, but the team will look for a linebacker in free agency and in the draft.

With middle linebacker Napoleon Harris struggling and Donnie Edwards aging, the team has no depth at the position. Backup linebacker Keyaron Fox will not be retained.

- Another old friend who could return to the Chiefs in 2008 is Indianapolis Colts guard Ryan Lilja, who was cut by the Chiefs during Dick Vermeil's tenure. According to our sources, Lilja isn't likely to be re-signed by the Colts.

If that happens, the Chiefs will talk to Lilja about becoming a starter on their revamped 2008 offensive line. It appears the Chiefs will move guard Brian Waters to center and Lilja could slide in at left guard. Damion McIntosh will move to right tackle, leaving the Chiefs to fill left tackle via the draft.

I'd take

Briggs in a heartbeat. Thats the second contract kind of guy Herm was talking about. Plus the fellow Arizona alum is a beast.

Playoffs

Jacksonville/Pittsburgh is the one I'm most looking forward to.

It will be interesting to see if Albert Haynesworth and Co. can stop LT.

Remember last year when we were getting excited for wild card weekend?

My only point

would be that it's hard to blur something moving that slowly.

I'm actually watching the NFC. The AFC teams to me are just sacrificial lambs to their 2nd round opponents. Especially with Young's hamstring problem.

Skins-Seahawks is pretty interesting though.

Not criticising Herm Edwards for anything since December '07.
