PrintGood morning, and Happy Mother's Day! There isn't a lot of Kansas City Chiefs news out there this morning, but here's what we could find. Enjoy your day.
Perhaps emboldened by his success with Fitzgerald and Bowe, Haley has joked publicly about any potential clash with Baldwin, saying they’ll get along well once the rookie realizes he can’t act like a diva.
Getting to that point can be and has been painful for some. Haley has had much-publicized sideline squabbles over the years with receivers Terrell Owens in Dallas and Anquan Boldin in Arizona. Haley had to bench Bowe during their first training camp together in order to get his point across.
Haley will probably use the same strategy with Baldwin as he has used with the others: draw a line with regard to Baldwin’s work ethic and then relentlessly stick to it, regardless of the cost.
May 3, 2011 - Blake says: Bob, which pick did you like the most and like the least?
Bob says – I really like the selection of Rodney Hudson in the second round. I think he’s going to be a bit of a throwback, whether he plays center or guard. I think he’ll play at sub-300 pounds and they’ll actively move him around on traps and sweeps. I’d say the pick I didn’t like would be Miller or Bannon. Both of these guys are basically developmental players. The Chiefs aren’t good enough to be giving up draft choices on players who won’t challenge for playing time, not when there were players left in the pool like Notre Dame DT Ian Williams or Arkansas G Ray Dominguez.

The plan today is to celebrate her for something she bestowed on us long before we could remember: Our names.
A name by any other name is still a name, Romeo Crennel, the Kansas City Chiefs' Shakespearean-named defensive coordinator, might have said. Or not. Maybe he just thought it.Moms Have Given Great Names from hutchnews.com

I haven't been around here much lately, but I've tried to keep up with things. I'm more worried about Houston than Baldwin.
After reading everything I could find on Baldwin, listening to interviews with his prior coaches, Pioli’s thoughts, etc., I think Haley can keep Baldwin in check, and with his pedigree I feel he’ll be a great Chief. Houston however, is the one that worries me, simply because of the stupidity of flunking a pre-announced drug test at the Combine, or all places. I haven’t been able to dig up much as far as interviews with his old coaches back to high school, folks like that, like I could with Baldwin either. That’s somewhat troubling.
Granted he doesn’t have to be a 4.0 student like Asamoah was, but the smarter he is out of the box, the faster he learns his job. The fact there’s a ton of tape on him is comforting however. More comforting yet is understanding the amount of research Pioli & Co. do before they pull the trigger on someone, so I’m alot more at ease than I would be if Pioli’s predecessor were picking. It sure is nice to know we have an awesome front office and coaching staff on board!
I’m just hoping we can get the season started before week 8.
Can anyone tell I"m impressed? I don’t need any damn KoolAid. Reality is just as sweet!
it really is amazing when you think of how few positives that you could list from the herm era
our draft picks were busts for the most parT( I know a few early rd hits)….but to have such faith in a front office is completely new, and they are producing, I dont count 09 due to scouts…I know first hand what the difference is between your scout, and someone else’s scout.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Haley didn't flat out say that Baldwin is a diva...
he was specifically referring to diva receivers. that said, I do not think Baldwin has a poor work ethic at all, and I doubt Haley will need to “motivate” him into having a great work ethic.
As for Gretz,
I’d say the pick I didn’t like would be Miller or Bannon. Both of these guys are basically developmental players. The Chiefs aren’t good enough to be giving up draft choices on players who won’t challenge for playing time, not when there were players left in the pool like Notre Dame DT Ian Williams or Arkansas G Ray Dominguez.
correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t both Williams and Dominguez both UDFAs? Gretz has a problem with “giving up draft choices,” but the two guys he would have rather seen didn’t even get drafted, which in forward hindsight would would mean giving up draft choices also.
I’m not saying I’m high on Miller…though I like Bannon….
Scott Pioli for President in 2012. Experience? If the current President doesn't need it, why does Pioli? Besides, Pioli has the blue collar work ethic with a white collar brain. He has humility. He is tough on security. He supports war on Sundays. And he makes sound, fiscally conservative decisions.

I disagree…on two fronts. 1) I think we ARE good enough to spend late 5th and 7th round picks on developmental guys with good upside
2) I think Bannon could win the starting FB gig, and will contribute on ST, so he’ll certainly see a fair amount of playing time.
