NFL Network broadcast a nice clip of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley in action. I'll use the word to describe his on-field attitude that everyone else does: Intense.
And I would imagine this video has been edited (a tad) to spruce up the language used during a Chiefs practice.
The video is well done and has clips of Haley during practice today. He talks to Jamaal Charles about Friday night's fumble, works with Dwayne Bowe staying low and has a few words for Taurus Johnson.
Click here to watch the video or, if you happen to be catching this at work, I've summarized most of the video with quotes.
Don't fumble the ball
Haley: Did you fumble yesterday?
Jamaal Charles: Yeah.
Haley: What, he just slapped it.
Jamaal Charles: That was my fault. I didn't cover the ball enough.
Haley: You better take care of my football. Or you can not play.
Random sound bites
- Huddle up!
- Hustle up!
- That's half-assed!
- Get wider!
- If everyone else would just listen and concentrate you would know what the hell's going on.
- Come on men, this is all attitude here. All attitude.
Comments to Dwayne Bowe
"You gotta feel it on the balls of your feet. Chest over your knees over the balls of your feet. Right now you've got your chest over your ass over your heels."
***
"Still too tall, Bowe!"
***
"Bend your knees, bend. There. Bend, more, more bend.. Head up now. There you go."
To Taurus Johnson
"#9...Coach Anderson is saying accelerate after the catch and you catch the ball and just lolly gag through. You are a rookie, free agent rookie mind you, trying to make a team. You oughta be killing yourself after every catch!"
On LJ jumping over the pile for a touchdown
"That looked like something there. Do that every time."
Comments to entire team
"We just gotta get some guys that decide what they wanna do. Stop screwing around and decide whether they wanna be a player or not. But today, clearly better."
"No one cares about us and I'm not just saying that as a coach. It's a fact. It's clear as day. So, we're in this together. We gotta stick together and find a way to get a little better every day."

Looks like he's startin' ta work on a Parcells paunch. Early stages.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
I noticed that during Friday night's game too.
It looks like Haley has been picking up some of 800 pounds the team lost during the offseason.

As long as he doesn't go Mark Mangino on us, we'll be alright.
’Course, then he could start eating opposing players during warm-ups. Wonder what kind of rule the NFL would make up to protect Tom Brady from that.
I believe they learned it from watching him...
sorry, couldn’t resist

Oh yeah!
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
No 9
that’s Taurus
Rodney is 11

great video!
It’s nice to see first hand how he handles practices.
I like the extra attention to Bowe, working on fundamentals

i also liked
how humble Charles was.
I think that illustrates how much the players respect him… or fear him
"I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"

I think he's just shy
anytime I’ve seen him on TV and even the one time I got an autograph from him, he acted the same way. He seems like a pretty good kid, though.
is it me
or did it look like Zach Thomas standing there at the end of the video in full pads and covered in sweat? Or does he have an evil twin on the team?
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
I thought so too.
Does he have to ride an exercise bike in pads?
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
that was him for sure
I think it may have been older footage, from when he was practicing?

This was filmed on Saturday it looks like
Haley asked Charles if he fumbled “yesterday”.
But I didn’t think there was practice on Saturday.

hmmm
could have been pieced together from multiple practices?
or, maybe you’re right, and ZT was sweating from the bike :)

I was thinking it was over multiple practice
But Zach Thomas hasn’t practiced in several weeks.

Charles fumbles almost everyday so, it coulda been whenever.

I dont think it was a reference to the fumble in the game.
Because they didnt practice the day after and no one touched the ball he dropped it all on his own. I also remember that quote about number 9 from earlier in camp so I think this is footage from the first week or two of camp which would explain ZT too.

Charles fumbling?
That could be any day of the week.
All losses in the 2009 season will be Herm and Carls fault.
Yes I also thought this
I guess ‘No Man’s Land’ is a tough gig.

I think it was all the same day, they only had Haley wired for one day, did they not?
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...

Here is a screen shot of the picture in question
by Joel Thorman on Aug 24, 2009 10:30 PM CDT up reply actions
It had to have been shot somewhat earlier than this week or last...
…when it zooms to the wide shot you can see Ingle Martin standing behind Haley
This is getting to be something like "Where's Waldo?" in a way.
Find Zach in this picture!

In other words, are you sure it wasn’t Gutierrez?

Thomas looks like a bad ass - his face is a friggin square

Thank thee
He's right on the no one cares about us.
We’ve been a bad small market team for several years now. The only way the Chiefs get any national press is by winning—-and winning a lot.

Or when good ol' Brett Favre involved....

Sure beats Herm Edwards the cam counselor
who laughed it up and tried to be every player’s best buddy.
I like Haley a lot
but Bowe was thinking “wtf are you talking about? what can I do bent over like this?”
and I was too.
Hopes fade once again from blue to red. Go New Chiefs!!
Bending..
Allows for a more streamlined turn while running. When in a lower position his center of gravity is closer to his core (hip flexsor) which in turn allows for a sharper more fluid turn up the field.
They did a good job of showing what he meant after he caught the ball.

Thanks butch, makes more sense to me now

I know what he meant
But when he kept telling Bowe to “bend more bend more” he was practically squatting on his heals.
I fully understand getting low to make a quicker turn up the field, but it seemed a little excessive to me. But what do I know?

Haley was actually just positioning him to kick him square in the butt for dropping a pass.

You were thinking
“What can I do bent over like this”?
Perhaps you should rephrase.

Trademark line for haley..
‘Chompin at the bit’…every time I here him he gets that in somewhere.
Isn't that the position he wanted him to be set to run in? Leaning forward, on the balls of his feet under his chest
and not leaned back from his ass over his heels?
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...

my favorite
“RUN!” with that face – wow, gotta say, after watching this video I got pumped – Haley has some fire and tenacity that was probably a rude awakening for this team once camp started. As you guys already said the prime example is when Jamaal talks to him with the reply “yes sir”, twice.
Even him yelling at Taurus and not calling him by his name but by his number- just goes to show how Haley really stands by his word when he said this team isn’t solidified yet. Making them earn their arrowheads for their helmets, just the old-style of coaching a team- I love it.
And one more thing – I will stand by this statement in week 17, everybody remember me stating this…Mark Bradley will have break 1,000 yards this year.
typo
didnt mean to type in have in that sentence. but i do believe bradley will break 1,000 this year…just seems like he’s ready to take that next step in his career- i mean the guy was a 2nd round pick and played at a great school (oklahoma) Especially with Haley there too – hes been under teh radar in camp but has been very solid thus far.
Hes had the same issues as Bowe but I think youre right that he'll be a good player for us.
He’s slowly creeping back up the depth chart back to the seconds after splitting time with the 2s/3s since camp opened.

that would be amazing
I’d love to see Bradley get 1k….
that would make 2 1k yd receivers, along with Bowe
plus, Toomer, Lelie and Engram/Lawrence for depth?
hells yeah

That thing he says about "I didn't hear any thank yous..."
Anyone know to what that was referencing?
My guess he had taken it easy on them in a prior practice
And now expected them to give a little more effort to show their coach they appreciated it.
I think he said he didn't hear any thank-yous for cutting practice short the previous afternoon
2009-10 Predictions:
1. Chiefs will win ATLEAST 6 games, which is a big improvement over 6 wins in 2 seasons
2. Succop will bring stability to the K position for the first time in years
3. Chiefs D will atleast double the number of sacks form last season
4. Cassel will be a top 15 QB
5. Todd Haley won't make a poster and jump around holding it up welcoming the Chiefs players to summer camp, I mean TRAINING camp
he was referencing
the down-time he gave them then night before- which means the players got time to themselves to do whatever they wanted from this time to that time – like for instance, after the PM practice he probably cancelled all meetings for the night so the players could eat dinner, relax, go to a local store to get necessities, etc. – i’m sure there was a curfew but still, thats what that means. and trust me ive been football camp for college – down-time is like gold.
it's because Bud Selig has it in for us big time
…wait
Hopes fade once again from blue to red. Go New Chiefs!!
Haley (to Bowe) states:
“Right now you’ve got your chest over your ass over your heels.”
Wouldn’t this be a major problem if it WERE NOT the case?

Well, yea...
If your heels are above your ass you’re an entire different position, and most likely not one that’s in line with your sexual orientation….or your dream of being a pitcher.
"The first step to penetration... must not be lateral"
-Confucius, in contrary to Glenn Dorsey lining up in the 2-tech
he just means
he’s standin up straight off his breaks once he catches teh ball…what happens in football when you runs straight up? you get effed up. haley is right about it…you need to stay low to the ground when you come out of your breaks- it protects the ball, harder for a defender to tackle and you have more torque coming out of your hips.
You can just do more with your knees bent.
It’s the first thing you teach a skiier. When the surface is uncertain, especially, bent knees let you adjust to whatever happens.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
I applauded after the clip.
I've been rapping for about seveteen years okay? I don't write my stuff anymore I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin? I can do that. No disrespect but that's how I am.
I can't watch the damn thing
At the end of the Gatorade commercial, it just locks up. I’ve tried refreshing it several times, and I even tried using IE. Anybody else having this problem?
Todd Haley
I have a complete and total man-crush on Todd Haley… that man will literally yell this team into the Superbowl. We need to create a Todd Haley jersey; he’s meaner than any NFL player I have seen.
