Tough Drill
2:59 PM – A very tough drill for the defensive linemen going on right now. The nose tackles are working zero techniques against guard-center-guard and the defensive ends are working five techniques against guard-tackle-tight end. Essentially it is three-vs-one for the defensive line as they work half-lines with the offensive lin
e.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
This is what we like to hear
3:01 PM – K Ryan Succop hits four-of-four FG attempts with a long of 44 yards.
Sounds like he made the shorter ones today.

More on this from Gretz
Another good day for Chiefs rookie K Ryan Succop. He was 4 for 4, hitting from 33, 3, 40 and 44 yards.

Defense still on top
3:22 PM – The offense began today’s 11-v-11 team period very vocal after the defense turned in a very impressive performance against them yesterday. Overall, the period seemed very competitive, but the defense managed to keep the offense out of the end zone once again. The defensive line had a nice rush, including two batted balls and offensively WR Amani Toomer made a nice catch across the middle – something he’s done quite a few times at camp since his signing.

Nice that Demorrio is back too.
I think with the emergence of Mays and if Demorrio plays how we know he can, that we’re deeper at ILB then we initially thought.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
and Beisel and of course Thomas.

So WTF is up with Bowe?
From Gretz:
WR Dwayne Bowe continues to struggle. When the Chiefs receivers were working on catching the ball while being hit by two coaches, Bowe was 0-6. He was the only receiver that didn’t catch at least one pass.Maybe we have a bigger problem than we know about.

blocking?
3:40 PM – After a period of inside run, an emphasis was placed on the play-action passing game during the second portion of team 11-v-11. The most noteworthy competition seemed to be at the line of scrimmage with the o-line and RBs picking up stunts. There was a lot of nice thumping going out there in the interior.

Rudy vs Tank
3:54 PM – One of the biggest highlights of watching camp practices are the OL/DL one-on-one drills. Today was a great segment as C Rudy Niswanger stuck out as having a good round. Niswanger and DT Tank Tyler took a ton of reps against one another and both battled hard.

Defense holding
4:15 PM – Team period is "move the field," with the offense charging towards the end zone from the 50. The O has made a number of nice place on their way to the red zone, but the defense continues to step up and keep the offense out of the promise land.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
YAY D-bowe
4:16 PM – And the jinx comes right away as QB Tyler Thigpen hits WR Dwayne Bowe for a 35-yard TD. Bowe made a juggling catch, the type he has seemed to do best over his first two years in KC.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
I am just going to continue to believe
that we now have the most dominant defense in the league and that our offense can only bend them and not break them.
This will help me sleep at night.
D-Bowe, Mark Bradley, Bobby Engram and Turtle. Four Chiefs WRers. 4 Pro Bowlers.
The new guy shows up
From Gretz on CBS:
For the first time since he was claimed on waivers last week by the Chiefs, OLB Vince Redd drew attention with his practice performance. Working with the No. 2 defense, Redd showed a good pass rush coming off the left corner of the formation.

That IS good news.
I really want to see some of these young LBs step up. We can’t count on ZT to make it all year…especially if he has to play alot.
