PrintFull transcript is here. Here are a few highlights:
On being in Kansas City...
“Very happy to be here. I am excited about everything that has gone on. I am excited about being here and I am excited about the coaching staff and everything going on. We are setting an environment and a foundation right now. We just have to start getting better.”
On the Chiefs' current talent level...
“Everybody is out there getting better. We are a talented team and what I think makes great teams is playing together, being consistent and fundamentally sound on a day-to-day basis. If you are inconsistent in one area and you are not all on the same page then you are not going to have a good product on the field. If we can get together and start working now on putting the puzzle together, we can have a productive team and a very good team.”
On working with GM Scott Pioli...
“Well, I have a great relationship with Scott and he brings a lot to the table. He has already started to set an environment and a climate here that people will notice right away. We are going to be structured and have to go in there each and every day and this is a work environment. That is what he is trying to do.”
Finally, welcome to Kansas City Matt!

Interesting on Gretz' mini-camp update this morning...
Not only was Tamba practicing with the LBs but so was Turk…that is odd
From Kent Babb's tweet too:
heard Turk McBride say he wouldn’t mind playing linebacker, if that’s what it came down to.

Yeah
Tank Tyler said they were moving the DEs to LB earlier this week.

I just want to point out
that I talked about Turk McBride and Tamba Hali at linebacker back in February and everybody told me how dumb of an idea it was.
I like being right.
lol

Lamar owed me a lot of money and I told him I was gonna kick his ass if he didnt leave town, guess the rest is history… :)

Shaun Phillips in SD
is about the same height and weight as McBride. But with McBride at OLB that leaves a hole opposite Dorsey
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
His number...
Wow. It was this website, i think, where a guy posted that the reason why Cassel picked #7 because it was 6+1=7…guess he was right. haha.
He says the right things, now can he lead....
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
He sounds good and some of the veterans crying should listen
And now for something totally different….substitute baseball for football and meat for LJ….he could learn something from this clip.

Bill Parcell’s: "You are what your record says you are."
"My job is not to collect talent, but to build a team. Individuals make the Pro Bowl. Teams win championships. That is our goal."—Chiefs GM Scott Pioli.
Cassell will be very good. I’m not worried in the least. Scott Pioli knows Cassell, he drafted him and his watched him for several years. He wouldn’t have made as big an investment in him as he did (and one of his first major decisions) if he wasn’t CERTAIN Cassell would be a star. I’m really excited about the next five or ten years.
