Steve Breaston Talks Chiefs

by Joel Thorman on Jan 25, 2012 5:52 PM CST

I gotta say. I like Steve Breaston as a Chief. He talked with Nick Wright on 610 Sports this afternoon and it was pretty good stuff (until they started talking NBA for a minute which I just don't follow in the least bit).

From the surprises (he took the over on owning 125 pairs of shoes) to some of the changes this year (he says Todd Haley was a big reason he initially came to KC) to some actual football talk (he loves Dwayne Bowe's YAC), Breaston is a pretty entertaining interview. (Shortly after Breaston signed, a Cardinals reporter reached out to me unsolicited to say he's a great interview.)

610 Sports will podcast it shortly I assume but here's a snippet below that's, gasp, actually about football. Nick asked Breaston whether he ever hopes he could be a return man again.

"Yeah I do, I wish I could do more. I enjoyed it. It was something I was pretty good at. It was something I was always wanted to do and I always felt like I wanted to go back to doing it. I'll do whatever the coaches ask me, whatever role they had me at, I'd be at. If they need me to go back there and catch a couple punts and do what I know how to do, I'll do it."

There's some other good stuff from the interview you should check out (and we'll probably post parts of).

Over/under on how many posts Joel gets out of 1 interview?

2 and I’ll take the over.

Do we go fetal and beg for mercy? Or do we pick up that broken piece of pipe laying on the ground and come up swinging? I choose pipe.

FYI ... the Chiefs have not yet announced hiring OC or DC ... and Mike Vrabel has retired

Joel should do a front page post about that!

ya know

I think he sneakily had his second best season ever. 785 yards aint too bad when you consider that he had palko thowing to him for sev. games and (I’m ducking) Cassel for most of the rest. 2 touchdowns is a disappointment for sure. At age 28, I like the thought of having him around for four more years at a fair price.

Not sure if you missed this part, “he says Todd Haley was a big reason he initially came to KC”

by manofnothi on Jan 25, 2012 9:18 PM CST up reply actions

Except

Pioli is an egomaniac who threw Haley under the bus by not giving him any help.

If Haley had moved Albert to OC/ass't to director of player personnel, we wouldn't have this problem.

Cassel throws to damn high for this dude.

Only when he actually throws it. Usually the play results in a sack, throw away, or check down for no gain.

What about all the passes behind the line?

Or the 5 yard pass on 3rd and 14?

When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.

Jamaal above all. #25 ftw.

You should do a FanPost about the need for a franchise QB.

That's why we need a FanPost.

Only thing I was surprised about the Breaston signing

was the signing itself. I knew we didnt have a shot because I thought he was too good team player to let go but he actually came here!

Now only if Pioli would sign Braylon Edwards and Manningham then somehow get Henne and Long here to reunion them with Breaston. Now that would be my most exciting dream come true!

by angrydeafman on Jan 25, 2012 9:08 PM CST reply actions

You have to be a Wolverine fan.

I wouldn’t put Braylon Edwards anywhere near One Arrowhead Drive…except on one of those red city buses, maybe.

When those guys played together, times were good.

I don’t know what happened to Braylon though…maybe Breaston made him better? ;p

We know one thing for sure

There is no shortage of returnmen on this team now.

I like Breaston. He has

been one of the best additions to the team in recent years, plus he seems to be a fairly sensible sort.

Yep..I agree...We'll surely drive him away or squander his talents...

at least until it’s time to re-sign him…Then he’ll take the cash & wind up on a milk carton…What ?..Getting Bitter ?…And after only 40+ years of futility ?…For Shame…
