We've got this great photo sent in by a reader. Talk about great timing on the picture.
I'm not certain but I think this is the play I described here:
Brodie Croyle had a beautiful pass 35 yards in the air to Chambers landing a few yards from the end zone close to the sideline. Chambers hauled it in and might've scored if it were a game.
I was on the other side of the field (to the left in the picture).
By the way, I'll be bringing a better camera out to practice this week. I hadn't carried one (was using my phone) because I didn't want another thing to lug around but Arrowhead Pride has spoken. Better pictures coming soon.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed in one of the previous training camp posts but...
Hows Brodie looking? Better/worse than Cassel?
I know I know I know, it’s Cassel’s job to lose feel free to not post that fresh Dead horse picture.
I just think its funny that all positions are up for competition except for the most important one.

Brodie has been floating a lot of passes
But he throws a nice ball. I can see how people would like him in a setting like training camp. That said, the Cassel vs. Croyle debate is barely a blip on the radar in St. Joe.

If we have to hold our breathe everytime Brodie gets pass rushed
He shouldn’t be on the field. I think Weiss can bring Cassel’s play a hell of a lot higher than even he had in New England(yes I know my opinion!)
I like Croyle as a backup
Because he can play for a few games, and play well. That’s what you want a backup to be able to do.
But he’s never stayed healthy longer than half a season. You can’t have that from a starter.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
cant agree more...cassel now has an OC, a QB coach...he has a year with chambers
he has Bowe trying to actually work hard…he has mccluster in the slot, T Jones and J.Charles…he has ryan lilja on the inside…ocall is comfortable at RT….
Cassel is in a great spot to be the quality QB/leader that he is
honestly, I have few doubts considering he has a clutch gene(fact!) and coaching can change everything
I know people like Croyle, I know people want a QB with a rocket arm….but I really like what Cassel brings…Weis will get him to get rid of the ball, but Cassel can avoid the rush, he can run with it, hes a bit more mobile than croyle…
can’t wait for a trent green 23/12 type season.

I don't think our lack of a SB had anything to do with Green
A defense that couldn’t make IND punt even one time had more to do with that.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
In that game no, he had nothing to do with it, and maybe he had nothing to do with it.
IMO the lack of good WR’s, had more to do with it than anything.
Disclaimer: Comments above are not meant to be taken with a grain of salt.
As it should be (barely a blip)
Croyle ALWAYS looks great in training camp.
That’s because he’s not a bad QB. He’s just injury prone. That pretty much takes him out of any discussion as a full time player.

agreed...love his arm...but hes not changing bodies anytime soon

He did gain some weight this year
But he should have been working on that the last 3 years.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
He’s got skills, but, damn man, He can’t stay healthy. he’s proven it EVERY season he’s played. I don’t know why you hate Cassell so much, man.

One drill I saw them doing this morning
They were throwing 12 yards out into nets on the corners of the goal lines. Croyle actually missed each net one time, while Cassel placed several into a small pocket in the middle of the net. After that drill I was much more impressed with Cassel, than I was Croyle or Palko. Croyle’s ball was not as firm as Cassel’s and less accurate. Palko’s ball was even less firm, and more accurate than Croyles in this particular drill on this day. Also, Palko looks undersized.

Great Pic!
Good action shot of Chambers but the quality of the pic itself is outstanding. The field looks in fantastic shape.
You’re right, you’re gonna need a much better camera to match this shot.
Almost looks artificial
Like Tecmo Bowl goes 3D

yeah unfortunately that wasnt as awesome as anticipated(they put it out on 360 with a "change to 3d, back to 2d" option

Gloves?
When did Berry start wearing gloves? Every highlight film I’ve seen of him in college he never wore gloves. Just had a little bit of tape around the fingers
I want a championship team in KC

Probably got a new pair
After Sunday’s practice Berry threw his gloves into the crowd. It was cool.

Thank God

+84
I hate recievers who wear numbers in the teens. But wasn’t it 11?
by craig in calgary on Aug 2, 2010 11:28 AM CDT up reply actions
Chris Chambers?
I thought he wore #11.
If everyone worked as hard as me, I would be out of a job.
-Steve Nash
I thought it was #11 also
but thought then thought Quinten Lawrence had that #. Maybe his was #10. Ahh, who cares. As long as it’s not in the teen’s anymore.

Chandler Williams had 84
then switched with Chambers who is now 84 and Williams is on the PUP but was 11
oh hey I didnt know he changed from 11..thank goodness! Im also not a fan of the teen's for WR's...should just be a QB number

Doubt it
Carr would be 15 yards behind :)

eyeroll
Looks like that might be MoLegg (#39).
I had a feeling I screwed that up.
…but I’m at work, thus the laziness factor kicked in and I didn’t want to double check it.
oh, feel free to blame any missed coverage etc on Leggett...I do...
I just cant stand him off the field
I dont think mo leggs makes the team.
just an opinion, but Ithink crennel keeps daniels
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
to be honest
I could not stand Molegg prior to meeting him b/c of his twitter bs but he is actually a really cool guy and he stayed extra long signing autos on Saturday
Carr
Always seems to be step for step with the receiver, in good position, but can’t make the play. Not turning the head at the right time possibly. Hopefully he can get it fixed.
This was Carr
Chambers was torching him all day yesterday.
Hopefully going against Chambers will make him better
Going against Mark Bradley in camp last year probably didn’t do much to improve Carr’s skills.
Predictions:
This year will be better
Looks like #39 to me.

9 or 8 or 3?
I don’t even know if we have a 33 but I guess it could be Morgan too.

I was thinking the same thing.
Although the not looking back at the ball is a complete giveaway who it really is :)

yes...yes it is. on another page they didnt have who it was, just that he didnt look back...then it became clear...
with that said, Im hoping Carr can be a big piece of this defense…few have that size speed combo he has at corner, maybe taking him off the field more often and putting him up against certain recievers will help

Team Colquitt
Yes, Carr!
It’s prob too late for him to get any better. It took Kevin Ross about half a season of getting burned to learn his lesson. He turned out to be a great corner. Carr is what… in his third year? He might learn just about the time he’s no longer able to keep up. Sorry Brandon, I hope I’m wrong!

It’s prob too late for him to get any better.
I seriously doubt that – he made the HUGE transition from a Division II school to the NFL, and has only had one full season as a starting CB. I have no idea why you think he couldn’t get any better.
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
Anyway we can contact NASA and get the Hubble telescope involved?
OT- if anyone is ever around Marshfield Missouri, that is where Edwin Hubble was from and they have a replica on the square around the courthouse, pretty cool stuff.
This is our year.
yeah hes sort of like a pitching machine...problem being he breaks far more often

Hey Joel
Have you tapped AP to see if there are any photographers here that could tag along with you and snap some photos? That way you can concentrate on note taking and interviews and other reporter-type stuff while the other person snaps up a ton of professional photos (and maybe some video)? Just a thought.

Nice to See...
ball concentration like Chambers depicts in the photo. Hopefully we continue to hear good things on our receivers, like great hands!!! Mickey D’s, baby, Mickey D’s….
I’m Lovin It…
2010 Chiefs are on the rise. This is the most excited I've been since 'Nam...
was always a chambers fan, I wanted to trade for em when SD gave up that 2 to miami.
its funny because now, if you mention chambers to a charger fan(yeah, I can occasionally find one in another state) they cringe and you can see this thought of “darnit, we shouldnt have cut him”…especially with vincent jackson out…
chambers=legit number 2 NFL starting WR. finally.

Curious question
Can anyone speak on Romeo’s style of defense, in that does he utilize a right CB and a left CB or does he put his best cover man on the best WR?
I just know that he will blitz you from anywhere, and focuses on matchups more than most...
other than that, I have no idea how he will use flowers/carr/arenas in terms of defensive assignments in man to man, but I think he has 3 corners with different skill sets to match up against WR’s with different sizes/skill sets

With that said...
In your opinion, what would the skill sets for Flowers, Carr, and Arenas be respectively?
It kills me to say this, but
I am not nearly as high on Arenas as I was before (as a player). He was giving 100%, and was visibly upset with himself when he got beat (happened several times when I was watching this morning), but to me he is undersized. However, I am definetly pulling for him, and hope he is good enough to start.

LMAO
but to me he is undersized
Your kidding right? We drafted 2 midgets in the second…. We all knew that. That is why Agent Zero (sorry hopefully he is not like that Arenas) will be a returner, and a nickle CB. The best returner in the draft and the best DB blitzer in the draft (from which is awesome from a nickle).
Glad of you to listen
By the way, I’ll be bringing a better camera out to practice this week. I hadn’t carried one (was using my phone) because I didn’t want another thing to lug around but Arrowhead Pride has spoken. Better pictures coming soon.
BTW… Am I the only one commenting on SB KC?
