Training Camp Day 4 PM Update

Alright, I think I've got a plan for how we're going to do training camp here. Each morning, I'll post the links to the updates from the previous day's PM practice. I'll also take one topic and just write on it for a bit so I'm just not regurgitating other people's reports. As far as the morning practice coverage will go, I plan on updating the site with the appropriate links about mid-day, which is the time the various outlets are posting their updates. I'll also bounce around random camp topics there too. So, PM practice the next morning and the morning practice mid day. Hope this works for you.

Morning Kansas City Chiefs fans. Here are you daily links to the coverage of yesterday's PM practice, plus links to what the Red Zone is talking about. Today is a special teams only practice in the morning that will last less than an hour with a full team practice in pads in the afternoon.

Red Zone - Camp's Best Battle and Gonzalez Talks Retirement

It sounds like offensive linemen Will Svitek's time as a Chief may draw to a close come the regular season. Pat Clifton of WPI reports that Svitek is working with the third team (third!) and is not able to handle the "skills" of UDFA DE Jason Parker.

And when Clifton says Svitek's decline is really too bad, he's exactly right. Svitek garnered the ire of this blog during the 2007 training camp and during parts of the regular season. But after his move to the right side of the offensive line at the end of last season, you could see his improvement by the play. Back in April, I thought the cards were stacked in Svitek's favor enough to consider him a potential starter at right guard.

As always, we wish him the best of luck but the reports aren't promising so far. If Svitek does indeed get cut this year, it will be another chip away at the foundation of the "old" Chiefs. Svitek is one of three 2005 draft picks still on the team, making him one of the more tenured Chiefs currently on the roster.

Just think. The Chiefs are probably going to get even younger after this training camp.

Great News!!!
If there is one guy who I am really impressed with so far in training camp, it’s Tank Tyler.

Yeah I know

I’m excited about that too. If you scroll through some of those UW-RF pictures, you’ll see just how freakin’ huge Tank is.

Great thing about the D-line

More than anywhere else, it seems that a rotation is not only possible, but valuable. To have a strong rotation with Tank and others will be awesome. Maybe stronger 4th quarters. There were lots of reports that a lack of d line depth was a big problem two years ago. Last year, it got better, but our offense couldn’t do squat to help them out at the end of games last year. Go Tank and Turk!

Huge

he makes Dorsey look kinda small – and that is impressive. Now if we could just get somebody young to beat out Boone for the starting LE job, we would have a D-line in which the oldest player was Hali, coming into his 3rd season – that would be great! (plus, Boone would be fresh to fill in as a 3-tech guy when Dorsey gets tired, or as the LE on short yardage)

He's getting in shape

I saw him running by my building multiple times this off-season.

I forgot you lived by him

I really hope he pans out for us – I’d love it if he and Dorsey resembled the Williams bros in MINN

Best Battle.... sweet

I liked the blip in the Star about Flowers and Bowe competing hard to make the play. Not that I’ve ever doubted Flowers as a solid pick, but this gave me a shot of excitement. To hear that Flowers is giving Bowe a run for his money is very encouraging. I think Bowe is one of the best WR’s in the AFC West… and if Flowers is hanging with him that’s great news to me.

I can’t wait to see these guys in action in the preseason.
