Chiefs DE Dorsey Looks Better, G Waters Not Fully Practicing

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs took to the practice field in preparation for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
After the jump, we're talking Bowe being late, Dorsey and Waters injury updates and a banged up secondary.
Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com and Bob Gretz of BobGretz.com are keeping us up to date.
The Chiefs practiced indoors today because of some rain in Kansas City. It's not quite freezing yet.
Bowe is back, but late
Dwayne Bowe arrived late to practice but that didn't appear to be a problem.
Bowe arrived with the team following the conclusion of stretching, though it appeared his tardiness was of no surprise to anyone in the building. He quickly jumped in line with the Chiefs receivers and was even spotted mentoring the new practice squad members a bit on route running.
Those two new receivers are Logan Payne and Chandler Williams.
Dorsey, Waters injury updates
If there was a "winner" to this category, it would be Glenn Dorsey. Looney reports he is progressing from the knee injury that kept him out of last Sunday's game quite nicely. He was also looking better as the week went on leading up to Cleveland.
Brian Waters was dressed but didn't participate in all the agility drills similar to last week.
Secondary shake up
DaJuan Morgan was unaccounted for during the portion of practice the media was allowed to attend. Not sure what's up with that but illness and/or personal reasons are possibilities.
Brandon Flowers took "mental reps" as Looney calls it without a helmet. It's possible he's still feeling sore from the shoulder injury that sidelined him two weeks ago.
It was rookie Donald Washington who was taking practice reps at safety with Morgan's absence. Jon McGraw had been battling a hand injury so Morgan saw plenty of action last weekend. Washington hasn't seen the field much this season.
One in the rehab area
LB Justin Rogers was in the rehab area.

Oh Jesus Christ..
I can’t stand Donald Washington. He gets beat every time he was on the field, and I still believe he was our worst pick of that draft.
jake o'connell was worse imo since we traded up to get him
The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that.

Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.

I agree with Donald Washington
however, Jake O’Connell was actually pretty decent as a TE. Not awesome for the NFL, but one of the better TE’s on our team. Granted he was only involved in 20 plays, but his run blocking was second to Pope, and the rest of his stats are pretty much average.
Keeping in mind he is just a rookie, I actually see him as the starter or #2 next year. Get used to his name lol.

Oh, I know you are Cakn!
I just think signatures should be a line or two or these threads get a little long.
Its your call though!

Well:
I thought about putting the quotes and the person that said them on the same line. I did think earlier today that my sig was getting a little bit long. I’ll modify it just for you Craig.
My sentiments are likely to be summed up with one of these 2 quotes:
"Shut the f--- up."
-Matt Cassel
"WHAT THE F---?!?!"

O'Connell has been TERRIBLE!
I hope I NEVER see him play another snap as a Chief. He had plenty of opportunity this year to make plays and all he does is drop it.

hmmmm
Height: 6’3"
Weight: 250
40-yard dash in 4.66 and 4.69
41-inch vertical jump
His blocking this year has been good. His only real playing time was in week 2 against the Raiders. In fact 98% of his playing time came in week 2. He was projected to be a Practice Squad guy, and he has pretty much been that.
The fact that he has the size, speed, and the ability to block in the run game make him an excellent option next year.

FB
personally sounds like a tall fullback to me…
draft eric berry and darryll stuckey.... and our defense problems are next to solved...
really tho
mike cox has not shown anything that tells me he is going to be our FB for much longer… if O’Connell’s strength is run blocking maybe we should try him at FB… it cannot get much worse…

Castille might be the guy at FB
OR… maybe, just maybe, KC could snag Peyton Hilis from Denver… they aren’t using him at all this season, but he looked great last year.
he’s an outstanding blocker and receiver from the FB position, and can run the ball as well
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers
I'm open to that.
Prediction for '09: Chiefs are looking like a .500 team, especially considering Denver's inattention to D-Line, Chokeland's disarray, and a San Diego team that looks like it's on the decline. With a weak schedule, Chiefs steal a few and win between 7 and 9 games, and if .500 or better, will contend for supremacy in a weak division.
Give him another chance
He’s a rookie 7th round pick from a small school, I’d imagine he was pretty nervous getting his first real playing time. I’d still keep him over Sean Ryan.
Also, we didn’t really trade up to get him
Predictions:
Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010
Kansas City will win at least seven games in 2010
traded back into the draft with this years 7th round pick

Washington is raw
he should be getting ready to play in some Bowl game for Ohio State right now. I have no idea if he’ll ever be a decent player in the NFL, but that’s pretty much what I’d expect from a 4th rounder.
Predictions:
Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010
Kansas City will win at least seven games in 2010
People are forgetting that this is what was expected out of Washington at this point. Everyone knew that he was extremely raw. He also missed part of the off season. A full off season in the program will do him a lot of good.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.

Sounds like we'll get some chances to see him in action at S.
The kid has some wheels and showed a nose for the ball. Let’s hope we see some of that speed, Sunday.

I think Bowe being late shows he
doesnt give a crap anymore this year and has already checked out for the offseason. After the season he has had I would think he would be showing up early and getting as much practice as possible, especially after taking the last month off.
You think so?
Seems totally out of character for Bowe. And definitely out of character for Haley not to have any reaction if he was late without proper cause.
Predictions:
Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010
Kansas City will win at least seven games in 2010
I'm willing to bet
that since there was no reaction, that Haley knew Bowe would be late. Maybe Bowe had a personal matter and he was unable to make it by the start of practice, but knew he wasnt going to be real late.
If Bowe would have been flat out late with no notification, I’m sure he would have heard about it.
I mean..if I show up to work late, I’m gettin reemed. However, if I were to notify my boss in advance that I’d be just a few minutes late, it wouldnt be a problem.
Yeah...you can't just make assumptions that he was late because he didn't care.
Sometimes I’m late to work because I have to go to the doctors in the morning. Doesn’t mean I don’t give a crap about my job…
apparently no one was surprised so it tells me it was excused.
jumping to conclusions must be as contagious as dropped balls because that’s all people on here can do lately. you don’t know enough about the situation to even comment on it intelligently and it shows. i don’t mean to sound like an ass but how can you say he doesn’t care anymore when you don’t even know why he was late but do know that none of the chiefs coaches or players seemed concerned with him being late as though they knew his reason and excused it. maybe he was getting medical treatment…who knows? definitely not you
The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that.
