Via the Mothership. Here is the full Q&A. Here are a couple of highlights:
Q: What do you like about Ryan that you didn’t like about Connor?
HALEY: "I won’t compare the two. We drafted Ryan for a reason; he’s a big, strong guy who should be pretty good on kickoffs which is important, especially when the weather starts to turn at Arrowhead. It’s an area that’s important to us.
"Now, whether it’s Ryan or Connor or anybody else out there right now, I don’t know.
Q: Larry Johnson is a guy who has said in the past that he isn’t sure what he wants to do. but yesterday he reaffirmed sort of a long term thing that, ‘yes, I’m ready to play football for the Chiefs again.’ How important is that sort of mental approach?
HALEY: "I don’t know if the actual talk is important. It’s more important for the fans out there, but I know myself as a coach I go by what I see and that’s why I said throughout the spring that guys are working, guys are here and that’s what I’m interested in, not what they’re saying, but what they’re doing.
"From my first day on the job Larry Johnson has appeared to me he’s interested in football and he enjoys working at it. So, I’m excited about it."

I posted a FanShot of this originally because the video wasn't working
Then I got the video to work so I could put the video here. So, KCShuffle, I lost your comment.
Probably more Barth love anyway.
Smells like censorship to me
…and you know I was right

When he's on
which admittedly we haven’t seen much of last two years, but when he’s on there isn’t a single player in our backfield that has half as much talent as Larry Johnson. Cutting him I would think make Haley’s (and thereby Pioli’s) job a lot tougher. It just ain’t gonna happen.

Agreed
I won’t say there’s not a chance, but I would be shocked if LJ was cut at this point.

Sorry to break your dreams.

I like what he said
About telling the guys that they are competing against not just the guys at this training camp, but at all the training camps. I read that to mean we will be looking to pick up people off waivers if you aren’t looking better. There could still be a lot of movement before this team is settled this year.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
+1
yeah there’s a lot of players around the league on the bubble…. work horse rudy types. so you mofos with talant better work your asses off or johnny workaholic is gonna take your roster spot.
speaking of which you guys see the thing on Boomer on Nfl.com ?
nfl is looking for that yao ming money

Man I am glad
That I found this site. SO much more info than the mothership + reading peoples opinions.
I cant get enough during the offseason. I want something to read about throughout the day, yet the first thing I do every morning is read EVERYTHING that I possibly can. Then I’m ticked off all day waiting for the next peice of info to come out. UUUGHHHHH cant the season just start already?!
Q: Has Ryan Succup won the job as kicker or will you still be looking?
HALEY: "The competition has definitely not been eliminated. I could probably pull out a list right now of veteran kickers that are staying ready. But with the roster numbers this year it definitely is a crunch to try to do what you want to do and who you can afford to lose. (Waived kicker) Connor (Barth) was a guy who worked really hard in the off-season and did a commendable job last year. The competition is on for everybody."
You think someone prepped him for that answer?
Somebody’s been reading AP. hehehe :)
