Chiefs Training Camp: Fourth Quarterback Apparently Not Added

by Joel Thorman on Aug 16, 2010 11:51 AM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Preseason

Monday morning Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star wrote that it appeared that the Chiefs had a fourth quarterback on the roster.

The players didn't practice -- they went to a movie instead -- but they did walk out onto the field in their practice gear. Along with all the players, Teicher wrote, was a new quarterback (#9, Matt Gutierrez's old number).

That someone, according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star, was an assistant coach.

"So the Chiefs appear to be loosey goosey today. Apparently they dressed Nick Sirianni, a quality control coach, as the 3rd QB this morning."

Even with the joke/misunderstanding, the "newsy" item of the day is that Brodie Croyle wasn't dressed out for the morning practice and had a brace on his arm. The Chiefs will likely need a third quarterback to get through camp.

Maybe it's joke day around the NFL. Vince Wilfork lined up at quarterback at the New England Patriots training camp practice this morning.

Well, at least we know he's an athlete

Sirianni was a three-year starter as a wide receiver at Mount Union. He was part of the Purple Raiders squad that claimed back-to-back NCAA Division III National Championships in 2001-02. He concluded his collegiate career with 68 receptions for 1,332 yards with 17 touchdowns. He earned All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors as a senior after posting a career-high 13 TD catches.

From whining so much how he’s being “mistreated” by the Evil Chiefs holding an indoor practice or 2.

holding an indoor practice or 2.

Also known as “violating NFL rules.”

Wow, way to dramatize the situation. There were no accusations other than what was said by Kendrick Lewis, who said that it was a regular practice. I’m not sure where you are getting the whole witch hunt thing.

Teicher Made It a With Hunt

With his accusatory tone, basically calling Haley a liar. When he was exposed at being wrong, no apology, no contrition. He’s a lazy guy who, like most of the local press, was used to being fed things on a silver platter, and being entertained by a clown at pressers. Now, when he has to actually do his job and REPORT, he’d rather whine and cry.

The “tone” of a written article is what you make it.

I’m talking about his “tone” when questioning Haley at the presser, not in written words.

by dablueguy on Aug 16, 2010 2:17 PM CDT up reply actions

Or not

If Teicher had bothered to just phone the Chiefs’ front office / media relations and said, “why hello there nice people. I’m concerned about the potential of a rules violation and would just like some verification that this is a walk-through and not a full blown practice that’s closed off. That would be bad, y’know.”

The Chiefs, obviously not wanting silly accusatory non-factual articles posted about them when they in fact weren’t violating any rules, would oblige. And there we go.

Instead, Teicher felt compelled to try to go public before there was even anything to report. It was a passive aggressive attack and a low key tantrum. It was unnecessary.

He had a player tell him that it was a full practice. Why would he not believe that? A rookie would not understand that he should not say something like that so why would he not believe Lewis?
