Chiefs Coach: 'We Can't Have Enough Guys Like Thomas Jones'

Just hours after the Kansas City Chiefs signed RB Thomas Jones, the head coach has spoken.

And he likes it.

Star-divide

"He's an impressive guy. We can't have enough guys like Thomas," Todd Haley said, according to Jim Corbett of USA Today. "It's one thing to be a leader and another to have the ability to back it up. Thomas does that and is excited to continue to show that."

Haley mentioned that Jones had his best season last year with over 1,400 yards. Some say he was wearing down but he actually had a better second half of the season. In addition to that, Jones is one big season (or Jamaal Charles injury) away from tying the record of 1,000 yard seasons after the age of 30.

"I'm excited he wants to be here," Haley said.

Despite filling a position of need, Haley stayed true to the Chiefs philosophy that they're always going to be adding players that are a good fit wherever they can.

"If we have a chance to add good football players, we're going to do it," Haley said. "This was a great example of a good fit, no different than what we've been able to do coaching staff wise. We need to because we only won four games last year and we've got to be better this year."

theres probably a better place to mention this

But those videos are awesome. I would like to see a video of pioli coming in to the office and letting CP know that he is the gm now.

by jakethesnake27 on Mar 9, 2010 8:21 PM CST up reply actions  

I think Lilja is next personally

He is familiar with KC, we need him, hes young, hes talented and smart. And wont take too much of the Pioli trust fund :).

Winning isnt a matter of life and death, its more important than that.

I dont know about that

The Colts cut him and paid the bonus he was due….Seems the Colts saw Wade Smith as an upgrade from Lilja. I still think we make a deal with someone (Bellichick?) to get Marshall.

A 2nd and a 5th for Marshall or a 2nd this year and a 2nd next year.

It will open up your offense with Marshall, Bowe, Chambers with Charles or Jones in the backfield.

You then have 2 picks left to use on OL and 4 on defense plus the rest of free agency.

by NFL season ticket holder on Mar 9, 2010 8:38 PM CST up reply actions  

They said the other day

that McDaniels has said there will be no negotiations for Marshall, there will be no sign and trade or anything. A team will have to sign the offer sheet and then give up the 1st round pick that he was tendered.

by badassz1987 on Mar 9, 2010 8:43 PM CST up reply actions  

Your right..

How about signing the offer sheet and then trading our 2 #2 picks for someone’s #1.

Really? I would.

I’d give the pile of dog shit I almost stepped in earlier, plus all the change in my pocket for Marshall.

Just to remind everyone of the mesg to which I'm responding...

McDaniels has said there will be no negotiations for Marshall, there will be no sign and trade or anything. A team will have to sign the offer sheet and then give up the 1st round pick that he was tendered.

This sounds like an organization puttin’ on the squeeze. The more you do THIS with players who want out, the more you have to squeeze down the road, and the smaller the corner into which you’ve painted yourself. I think if you want players to come and stay, you have to be willing to let them go when they want. That means maybe accepting less than a 1st. This also creates good will and makes future deals for less than extortionate prices more likely, too.

While I liked the Cutler deal, I see signs of short-term thinking in Denver that might hurt ‘em later. We’ll see. These are only signs.

by hmills110 on Mar 9, 2010 11:37 PM CST up reply actions  

agreed and I love it

Just one more example to me that McD is over his head and will fuck up the place. More power to him. I think they’re going to end up with Marshall staying there and not wanting at all to be there. 3 RING CIRCUS!!

Bigtime

Agreed on the short-term thinking. I’d expect them to make more of a push for higher profile transactions. IMO, it’ll backfire. I don’t think McD commands the credibility or respect to get the best out of his guys as it is. Throw in the higher profile names and it starts lookin’ fugly.

You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall.

We would prob start Shaun Smith

i doubt Crennel wants to start a rookie NT. NT is the most difficult position in the NFL besides QB. We have already seen how rookie defensive lineman fair, lets not throw another one out there. If we draft one, he needs to be apart of the rotation. Similar to how BJ Raji was with the Packers last year.

by Steve_Chiefs on Mar 9, 2010 8:10 PM CST up reply actions  

I'd think that's what we're lookin' at in 2010.

And I kinda hope so, because such teams tend to get stronger in the 2nd half – same center all day long. O-Lines that aren’t deep can actually be worn down by the right rotation on d-line.

Also, this is a good year for picking up some dark-horse candidates-with-upside in the 3rd-4th-5th. There’s actually pretty good talent (according to your own reports, Steve), ALL with question-marks, but some true widebodies, that’ll be down there this year, and not really a whole lotta NT prospects you wanna invest 1st- or 2nd-round picks in.

It’ll be interesting to see what Pioli does and pick him apart when he does it. But I can see going in quite a few different directions this year, and being very very effective, because of the depth of this draft, and the insanity of so many scouting departments. If you can be where others are not, you can consistently obtain better value than the rest, for instance, you can wait ’til the 82nd pick to take Joe Montana…

Anyone else notice scout - MoveTheSticks comment on Lilja

If not…he said Lilja wouldn’t make most NFL rosters…he’s not good, Colts rushing O was awful. The Colts know he’s bad and were happy to part ways. Goff might have been better than Lilja.

Its looking good

Lets get Tony Richardson back. He can retire a chief and block for another 1000 yard rusher or two.

i am glad to see the chiefs pick up a solid player… whether he is starter, sharing time with JC, or merely 3rd down/goal line back, he is a great addition to the lineup… plus of course it fills a position of need this offseason…

Can’t sign them all at once. Took care of a couple big needs in the last two days and hope to fill one or two more before the draft.

We have one great CB and one good CB. If you fill one in the middle Carr becomes a great “#3” Either way, it’s not a need.

It can't happen over night though. They got a RB which i wouldn't have a ton of confidence in but is pretty good i guess still.

id say CB is a need and they will probably address that in the 2nd or 3rd round

by TheAngelsColts on Mar 9, 2010 9:09 PM CST up reply actions  

Probably won’t be adressed at all. Our problem is at Safety, which hopefully WILL be addressed in the draft. Flowers will be great and Carr’s only problem is that he didn’t get his head around to see the ball. There were very few times in which he was completely burned. Most of the time he just didn’t know where the ball was, and that’s coachable.

That RB is only a short yardage back to provide the between the tackles compliment to the flashiness of Charles. He’s just what we needed.

Thomas Jones is a great back with fuel still left in the tank. This is a definite upgrade and another weapon to our offense.

I love the Jones signing. I would like to ee us sign Smith next. I’m not huge on lilja but may be able to add a little depth to a shallow line. I am hoping for Okung in the first, and if Cody slips to the 2nd, which is a real possibility, grab him.

Swap first round picks with the Pats straight up, then sign marshall to an offer worth 8 million per season or higher so broncos cant match it, then the broncos get 26th pick instead of 5th lmao and we get marshall
