Damn

I can’t listen at work. And, I’m on the west coast. Can anybody provide some context? Or maybe(probably not) a transcript?

by Reno_Chief on Jun 9, 2009 5:19 PM CDT reply actions  

Couldn't find any transcript

but he also went on to say that the coaches have the players working very hard this offseason, and that he expects that the Chiefs will win games this year. He didn’t mention how many, but he seemed very positive with the way things are going so far.

Kietzman asked him who he thought the leaders of this team were

and Flowers mentioned all new faces. He stated that Vrabel and Thomas were the leaders on defense, and that Cassel was taking control of the offense. No huge surprises there, but I think that it is significant that all of the players he considers to be team leaders were brought in this offseason.

That is very significant

It seems pretty obvious that we lacked a vocal leader on the team last season. I think that even a player like Goff will help provide some leadership and keep these young guys focused.

What makes you say that?

Just curious. I don’t know anything about Magee’s personality, etc.

by TheQ on Jun 9, 2009 10:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'd be happy if we could consistantly make the playoffs again.

2006’s regular season ended with a bang..and the post season was the biggest play off let down I’ve ever watched…

Herm’s good enough to end up somewhere else as a HC but I’m so glad he’s not here anymore

herm

is a joke flip that guy

by dgoddard on Jun 9, 2009 5:42 PM CDT reply actions  

So...

The physical shape of this team has changed drastically and the attitude. That alone she result in better results even without adding one new player.

It's official

I will definitely be buying a Flowers jersey now. I’ve been trying to pick between Flowers, Bowe, or Colquitt.

by KCMizzou on Jun 9, 2009 6:08 PM CDT reply actions  

DUDE!

what are you thinking get a Colquitt Jersey. He is coaches favorite guy.

by Bearson on Jun 9, 2009 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

You could

Boom

I picked up a Flowers jersey last year

by KChiefs58 on Jun 9, 2009 9:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

He is the people we need.

He is the kind of people we need on our team. Not only does he have confidence in his team, passion for the chiefs and love of the game but shows his dedication to the CHIEFS. As he said he will win a superbowl with the CHIEFS. If i didn’t love him enough already more reason to love him. Dude is awesome.

I'd say Flowers is well on his way to earning the right to wear that

And this is how it starts....

One guy believes, and then the next, and so on. We never heard anything like this during the Herm years. I would say we are going in the right direction.

by TheQ on Jun 9, 2009 10:00 PM CDT reply actions  

Hell

I don’t remember an attitude like this since the Marty years. This is great stuff. We’re developing the killer instinct and the hard-nosed work ethic that we haven’t seen in a decade.

True,

I was listening to an interview with Dolphins coach Tony Sparano and they we asking how they were able to turn it around so quickly. He talked about how important it was for the players to buy into what they were doing, and then start to BELIEVE. It was pretty cool, and I kept thinking about the Chiefs, and the fact that they need to do this as well. Maybe, just maybe…
The difference between winning and losing is a pretty fine line.

by TheQ on Jun 9, 2009 10:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed

We had so many close ones last season. But we had no heart. I don’t know if our talent level has improved a ton, but I think we’ll bring plenty of heart. That alone should net a few more wins.

To my amateur eye...

it looked like we weren’t as conditioned as other teams. The fact that we got our asses kicked in the 4th quarter of nearly every game tells me that we were tired, while the other teams werent. And since Herm is notoriously an easy practice guy I put all of the blame on him.

Gotta love it

This is the difference between the Chargers pre and post Marty. Players that not only want to win a superbowl, but they want to MAKE the team they’re on good enough to win it.

That is awesome...

Haley has their hopes high and all that…

I can't doubt him.

I briefly talked to Flowers, Dorsey, and Albert in the autograph line, during the Red Friday Pep Rally at Crown Center, before the home opener last year. I waited until it was almost over to get in the line; so, that the line was short and I’d have 20 seconds to talk to them, instead of the 5 seconds it usually takes to sign an autograph. All 3 were very nice and awed to be there, as most rookies seem to be. All 3 also signed twice for me, against the rules I think, so that I could send some signatures to my out-of state brother. Inversely, Brian Waters hurried me off pretty quick, but I understand how a veteran can get tired of signing autographs and it didn’t bother me much.

Anyway, I came away the most impressed with Flowers. He seemed genuine, humble, and very proud to be a Chief. I asked him if he was going to shut down his side of the field this year. He responded “Absolutely, sir.” He backed up those words pretty well in his rookie season. I also thought it was funny that he called me “sir” as I’m only a few years older than he is, but I think it showed how much he respects football, this organization, and its fans. Anyway, he became my new favorite player after this brief exchange. My guess is that he honestly believes in this team and will do everything in his power to back up his recent comments.

That's awesome, love the optimism

Hopefully the comeback starts this season!

I'm high on Cottam myself.

After meeting him in River Falls last year. He was cool enough to have a conversation with my brother and I. (My bro being a younger kid who gets star-struck pretty easily) I love the optimism and the fire we’re seeing.

Here’s to TJ, Turk, Tank, and GDo making the NFL afraid of them. Maybe this is the year we take back our home field advantage, eh?
