If you can’t make the trek to Canton, you can still commune with other DT fans to enjoy the festivities, which will include an acceptance speech by Thomas’ son, Derrion.

"The pressure is put on you each and every week that you play this game," Cassel said. "Every week you have different pressures that come with what team you are going to play and what defense. The contract is not the pressure; it is the weekly preparation and getting your team ready to win ball games."

Defensive Line Coach Tim Krumrie got frustrated with defensive tackle Tank Tyler when Tyler didn’t sprint back to the line of scrimmage after the whistle blew. Krumrie threatened the rest of the players that if they didn’t hustle back after the whistle blew, they’d be running the drill all night. Joining the drill after a few minutes was linebackers Turk McBride and Tamba Hali.

One of the problems with fandom has always been that there is no real set of rules. A person could feel free to root for the Chiefs one year, then switch allegiances to the Cowboys the next, and there was no rulebook to reference to show them that what they did was wrong. Michael Tunison has corrected that with his new book, “The Football Fan’s Manifesto,” which is scheduled to be released laster this month.

mitchholthus Wow...good long tough practice. I like the way the team approached the 4-3 inside run drills. Its obvious they want to be a physical team.

kb_kcstar Tomorrow's a two-a-day, and players already were getting tired on Day 2. Think Haley has sympathy? "That's the name of the game," he said.
