- Wednesday's injury report is here.
- If you want to review all of the recent roster moves on the Kansas City Chiefs, check out the still aren't sure if Reggie Bush will play this weekend. Here's what Saints coach Sean Payton said- "We’ll see. I thought he handled the snaps he had today pretty well. It’s really just a work in progress to see how his knee responds after today’s work and see how it goes tomorrow. But he got a fair amount of reps. He wore a brace today and we’ll see how it responds tomorrow."
- Nick Athan of WPI revisits the top ten of April's draft. I did a similar post a couple of weeks ago.
- Former Chief and now Buc Michael Bennett is a San Diego Charger this morning. Bolts from the Blue has more.
- Larry Johnson was back at practice yesterday- LJ had the running-back room kind of hyped up during the meetings with his jokes," rookie running back Dantrell Savage said.
- Gretz is one of the many people giving Tyler Thigpen extremely high marks- "But he was far more than just a game manager, far more than a guy just holding the spot. The kid from Carolina exhibited skills that every NFL quarterback must have to be successful."
- Good read on the Saints battered secondary.
- A Canadian columnist traveled to Arrowhead for the tailgating a couple of weeks ago- "The scene outside of Arrowhead before a Chiefs game is like nothing I've ever seen. The sprawling parking lot is packed at 9 a.m. with tailgaters setting up tents, chairs, barbecues, coolers -- they're essentially moving their backyard patios for a day. They fly flags, blast music, watch TV, and cook everything from prime rib to sweet potato hash."
- Eh. I don't think the Chiefs are nearing a blackout any time soon. Remember when I said that talking about a blackout was the lazy Wednesday story to talk about?
- Over the Top > Upon Further Review.
What are your thoughts about how the Chiefs match up with the Saints' West Coast offense? Can our linebackers handle it? I'm getting worried about their ability to stop the Saint's offense.

I’m guessing that blog is for a different target demographic…maybe the hardcore ‘statist’. For me personally it’s not even readable.

That Canuck...
needs to check out a tailgate when the Chefs are worth a damn. Beacuse of the subpar team and stadium construction, I’ve felt the lots have been pretty lame, eh.

With the state of injuries on defense
I don’t see the score being low…. In fact, I’m guessing the over on the over under.
have you seen my baseball?

Good point
I’ve got an irrational feeling that it won’t be that high scoring simply because it seems like sometimes when expectations are obvious like that, the opposite happens.

I hope so
I think the Saints offense is an overrated #1 offense.

Arrowhead will be the difference
Homer speak:
I think we will have one of the best crowds of the year after the way we have been playing lately. The no name defense will be energized by the crowd. Bones gets his first win.

We need Flowers back
or Leggett could get badly abused.

Possible
But I think just like the rest of the team over the last few weeks, I’m sure that he will be be much better and able to step up. I may be mistaken, but it seems that the times he was burnt didn’t seem to be, a problem of talent as much as just a mental error. I still have high hopes for him.
That said, I sure hope Flowers is back and Leggett is just a “better than he was” back up.

Brees .....
will be throwing like a madman against the Chiefs depleted secondary. That said – Thigpen should be able to throw against their depleted secondary. Right now, with Bush on the limp, I believe that the Chiefs have the better running game and that will be the difference in our winning this contest – over/under – OVER !!

As a Saints fan joining in on the conversation…in regards to the running game you may be correct…but you also may be wrong…the reason why the debate is a difficult one is that Payton refuses to utilize Deuce properly…the number of touches he gets a game is pitiful…the man moves piles…if any of you watched us play San Francisco…he is tough to take down…i hope that we get to see how effective a running game we possess this coming Sunday when we head to Arrowhead…
Looking forward to a great game either way…
As for our secondary…Jason David has been bluffing so far this season…do not throw to him…he is great…

Poor Bennett
Not good enough to start for the Chargers (or Bucs), but good enough they don’t want to face him…
