Quotable

Ty Law, last night at the Boston Celtics game talking about the Chiefs.

"I knew that was happening. Right after the season started, I had a conversation with coach (Herm) Edwards. It’s something I initiated. They’re having a rebuilding process. We were in two-year plan to see if we could win a championship. It just didn’t happen . . . so it was the best for us to go our separate ways. No hard feelings or anything."

Yikes! 2006 and 2007 were supposed to produce a championship? Shame on Ty Law for believing that BS.

I

at least appreciate his not ripping the Chefs or the front office, when he probably could have. I also appreciate whomever it was that was honest enough with him about the two year plan. I think the fans were also under the impression we had a two year plan to get to the big Bowl but things just didn't work out.
He was a great defender in his prime for other teams, it just didn't work out here and I think he knows that. He never did anything to bring shame to the Chiefs name or the team. So thanks for a few memories and good luck.

2 year plan

Law has been listening to his buddy Jabba the Whitlock

This explains alot

This explains:

Why the purge of players we are seeing now hadn't already happened.
Why the Chiefs stuck with Trent Green when he came back from his concussion despite being ineffective.
Why Damon Huard was the starting QB in 2007.
Why they were sticking with Saunders playbook even though they had no one qualified to call it.

I'm not a Carl Peterson basher, but this "2 year plan" has his fingerprints all over it. Wanting to throw one more patch on what was already here instead of just starting over. The O-line just fell apart before they thought I guess.

Makes you wonder how much different the team would look if Herm had been allowed free reign to mold the team however he liked from the very beginning.

How much

different would it have been had Saunders stayed as OC? With the defensive improvements, that Colts playoff game would have looked alot different.

Would have made a huge difference

Really the concept of a "2 year plan" makes total sense if you look at the condition of the Chiefs when Edwards took over and what he was bringing to the table.

You had a high powered offense with lots of veterans that knew what they were doing but no defense. So you bring in a defensive coach to get them over the hump. Quick fix to try to tie things up.

But then things started unraveling.

Willie Roaf decides to retire. Al Saunders, seeing that he wasn't a candidate for head coach in K.C. left for Washington where he thought he would have a chance after Joe Gibbs retired, Trent Green gets knocked out in the first game of the season. Second year, Will Shields retires and the O-line falls to pieces.

Vermeil knew the window had passed. I think when Herm saw how poorly Trent Green recovered from his injury, he knew it too.

It's OK, they are doing now what should have been done in the first place. Its a shame they had to go 4-12 for it to happen.
