Those Long snappers
I tell you what…they’re in short supply.
Can we draft Colquitt as the Punter, just so we can have 2 on the team?

New uniforms?
Do you think it would be appropriate to maybe update the uniforms for the new regime ala the Tampa Bay Rays. Maybe change up the socks eliminate the yellow, or something like that.
I say absolutely not
The one thing that has set us apart from so many other teams was the consistency and only minor changes to our uniforms. The only thing we need to change is our winning pct.
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
Maybe make the Arrowhead on the helmet more 3-D to make it pop
But keep all the colors.

I think we look legit
in all white at away games. Last time I saw that was the big LT LJ matchup of 06’ right after Lamaar Hunt died. What if we rolled out all red jerseys???
how would we know what number they were wearing?

I'd like to see us in...
red tops and red pants as opposed to the red tops on white pants. Not much of a change but I think the head to toe red for home game would look killer.
It would be a first. The Chiefs have never worn a Red Top on Red Pants in their entire history.
I think it would look awesome.

new uniforms
are worth at least 2 wins a season, along with crowd noise and momentum, the Chiefs will be undefeated
puke
current Chiefs roster + 1 premiere LB FA + Crabtree + defensive draft = CONTENDAHS
"at least we don't need a punter"
it'll just take 8 years!

I spoke to Clark. It’s not in the budget, but they’ll put it on the ballot in December to see if the County will pay for it ;(

Ask Al
how drafting the fastest player at the combine has worked out for him
by BeijingKCfan on Feb 18, 2009 10:51 PM CST up reply actions
Has anybody heard
if our scouting and personel department has had turnover with the new administration? Or did Pioli bring in new people?
Ten sacks in a season! For crying out loud that's what I used to average per game using DT in Tecmo Bowl!
Combing through free agent material I hope

No turnover
Ray Farmer is still there but everyone is on pins and needles
When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.
I'd be fine with 9-7 or 10-6 and competiting for the divsion title
