Training Camp Trends

by SillyHatDay on Aug 9, 2009 11:41 AM CDT

I've noticed the following trends in the reporting out of training camp:

Mat Cassel is proving himself as a leader and a passer.

The battle for the rest of the QB depth chart is going to be fierce.

Bernard Pollard is always devastating someone.

the defensive line arrangement is not set and may not be for a while.

Amani Toomer is always the one with the big catch

Tabma Hali is making positive strides in his transition to OLB but hasn't quite yet sealed the deal

Quinten Lawrence is making good catches and is looking like he could wind up making the team

Webb is looking like he'll get cut

the front 7 are getting penetration

TE is a wide open position

Larry Johnson is mentally in the right place to succeed

Dwayne Bowe's ear is now Todd Haley's new permanent residence.

Ryan Succop could hit from 70 yards in his sleep but would miss half of his PATs.

He's got some real competition

Sean Ryan is looking like the guy to beat at the moment, and that may not be a bad thing. He’s a serious blocker and can also catch the ball. Has more experience than Cottam too. Having at least two guys who can play the position well is a very good thing.

Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

agreed

I’m not sure he’s anywhere close to locking it down yet.

I bet he’ll make the team, along with Ryan and Oconnell… but, who is going to step up and be a big time player?

QB

Did you see Babb’s comments that Croyle is taking the #2 QB job, and Thigpen may not even make the team???

That would be shocking, and disappointing!

I still think QB depth can be a strength with Thigpen… I’d be scared w/out him

I am really looking forward to when Haley starts to hand out arrowheads on the helmet.

That will show us which players have made an impression on the staff, and who is poised to lead this team. I think the first batch of players will include Cassel, Vrabel, Pollard, Flowers and I think to suprise many Larry Johnson.
