Around SBN: Tom Brady possibly out for the season Bar-right-arrows



Notes from Friday's AM Walkthrough

Shoes_medium

It was a rainy morning in River Falls, WI, and because of that, the Kansas City Chiefs worked out inside. Here are a few updates from UW-RF site and WPI. The AM practice pictures are here. The Chiefs should be taking the practice field around 3 PM for a more robust practice session.

  • "Kansas City’s starting five on the offensive line remains, left to right, Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Adrian Jones and Damion McIntosh. Albert, KC’s second first-round pick, showed no ill effects from the ankle he sprained earlier this offseason, and was light on his feet."

  • "The Chiefs rotated wide receivers with the first-team offense. Dwayne Bowe, Bobby Sippio, Devard Darling, Jeff Webb and Will Franklin all received reps with Brodie Croyle under center. Oliver Hoyte, Mike Cox and Chris Manderino split reps at fullback."

  • "Dwayne Bowe is full of energy. With Jared Allen gone, he’s definitely the heartbeat of this year’s Chiefs team. Today he played free safety with the walkthrough defense (normally comprised of offensive backups), and playfully acted like he might deliver a big hit to anyone who caught a ball in front of him, including his cousin Bobby Sippio. Bowe stayed after the walkthrough for an energetic game of catch with tight end Tony Gonzalez and linebacker Donnie Edwards."

  • "Head Coach Herm Edwards held a press conference at the close of practice. He discussed the importance of holding a walk-through versus a full-strength practice. "We have so many young guys; it’s good to give them a walk-through like this," Edwards said. He also said this morning’s walk-through would settle the players’ anxiety and serve as a teaching session. Walk-throughs also give the special teams’ players an opportunity to run more drills. The only injury Edwards said was affecting the team right now was the recovery rookie wide receiver Kevin Robinson. Edwards said that Robinson had his knee cleaned out about a month ago. "He’s on the mend," said Edwards, "but he should be ready to play in the preseason game at Chicago.'"

  • "Tamba Hali and Ron Edwards were two of the defensive linemen who saw quality time during the mock-snap drills. Rookie DaJuan Morgan was also seeing some first-string time in the safety position. Throughout the practice, the defense seemed more leisure than the offense, primarily focusing on one drill, using only two strings of players."

Oh man, it felt good to post this. Training camp has officially started! More updates later tonight and don't forget about AP's birthday tomorrow! We're turning two!

Guards and Tackles

According to the UW-RF website the guards were playing in the tackle positions and vice versa. Do you suppose they typed that wrong, or is this some kind of team building exercise?

It's wrong

That’s the kind of stuff you have to watch out for in their reports but otherwise, the coverage is great.

WPI's reports

are pretty much dead on each time. I don’t think I saw a mistake in them last year.

WPI Typo on Day one :)

on Larry Johnson –

He frequently burst through holes in the line and ran down the court.

I know they were playing indoors, but “court”? was it clay or grass :) or beautiful hardwood :)

Didn't know about Robinson's knee

It’s conceivable it could affect his chances to make the team.

Still Drinking the Sippio Koolaid

Looks like Bobby Sippio is working with the first team offense, and WPI also mentions that Chan Gailey took “some time to give him some personal instruction” during the morning practice….although maybe that is not necessarily a good thing??? GO CHIEFS!

I actually got a response back from D-Bo

on Yardbarker awhile back….One of the things I asked him in my email was how he thought Bobby was going to do this year…And he said Bobby was ready to go and he was looking for him to have a really good season…Of course that could just be Cousin speak, HA

Yeah any talk from players

Is “team first” talk.

No one in their right mind would criticize in the media or anywhere else for that matter.

WR

I know we are trying to go young at all positions but could the Chiefs sign Terry Glenn when he gets waived?

Whoops

Meant to write something along with that question.

He is old. Coming off a severe knee injury. Hasn’t played since 2006. Wanting $1.75 million.

I just don’t see the advantage. I don’t buy into the “mentoring” aspect of it, especially since he would be coming in, presumably, for a one and done.

Bowe can do the mentoring

He’s a wiley veteran at this point. At least he’s acting like it.
He and Dorsey are going to bring some swagger to this team.

I Don't See It

Like everyone said, he’s old, coming off injury and wants too much money. Not to mention the reason the Cowboys dumped him, that his knee needs microfracture surgery which he refuses to do (because it would basically end his career), so it could blow out on the first play of the season. If we wanted mentoring, we would have kept Kennison.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.
