Chiorboy Huddle

Maybe we can bring back the choirboy huddle. A nice way to show a little respect for Chiefs history and tradition. I think Pioli likes it. He said it made one of the greatest football pictures of all time.

I chose Choirboy for my name to bring attention to the issue. I would like to know how it originated . I heard one story that one of the chiefs players complained that another player had bad breath. I think that probalby Hank Stram saw it as a way to keep the defense from getting our plays. Hank was always looking for an edge.

I think it went away because the quarteback couldn't see subustitutions or how the defense was lining up. I believe it really dosen't matter that much since defenses are all milling around and trying to disguise what they are doing anyway.

If we did it just once or twice a game I think it would rock the stadium and would be a great tribute to Len Dawson and rest of the old offense. Let' bring it back!

The typewriter huddle is a huddle formation created by former Florida State Head Coach Tom Nugent in the mid-1950s. It is typically used between a coach and multiple players, or when a quarterback or other player wants to create an image of being separate from the team, dictating to them, rather than being a part of the group, as with the circular huddle. The players being spoken to are arranged in two or more rows, the front row often kneeling or crouching. The player or coach speaking can then be assured that he has the attention of the entire audience, something that often is not possible if that person is in the center of a circular huddle. Though allowing players breathing room and providing space for more parcipitants than a circular huddle, it is not as secure, as observers on the sidelines may be able to see hand signals or read the speaker’s lips.

We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
