Good morning! Lots of Kansas City Chiefs news for you today. Enjoy!

If recent history is any indication, Crennel's task is not an easy one. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last coach to lead his team to a winning record in his first year as the permanent coach after being the interim coach was Art Shell in 1990. He led the Raiders to a 12-4 record.

That's a long 22 years.

Since 2000, according to Elias, seven coaches were promoted after being an interim coach, including Oakland's Tom Cable in 2009. The best records in the first year as the permanent coach were registered by San Francisco's Mike Singletary in 2009 and Dallas' Jason Garrett last season. Both teams went 8-8. In total, the coaches had a combined 43-69 record.

"When I first got here, it was so fast," Hartman said. "It was hard to think straight, but after a few weeks it started to slow down - things go a little slower pre-snap and everything."

With family still in the area and plenty of Wildcats fans doubling as Chiefs fans, Hartman's big plays this preseason won't go unnoticed.

"It definitely presents a nice opportunity, being so close to home and so close to my family," Hartman said. "I've got family here in Kansas City and a few hours away in Wichita, so it's nice to just have that feeling of home and people close by to talk to."

Actions do speak louder than words.

Poe's done everything he's supposed to do. Poe even finished minicamp, something he didn't have to do. Downplaying that just overlooks great qualities about Poe.

Poe traveled to Joplin to help rebuild houses. That was after minicamp had concluded.

The community stuff often gets overlooked, but how quickly Poe made the decision got missed.

Johnson shined when he shifted back to 3-4 defensive end under new coach Brian Kelly. He helped Notre Dame win reverse the previous year's trend and win four straight, including the USC win.

But as soon as he found his comfort zone, Johnson suffered an ankle injury that limited his effectiveness during his senior season. When he returned from three games on the bench, he said he was nowhere near his original form.

If ever a game should have been played on Halloween Night, this was it. It was a horror show.

San Diego continually shot itself in the foot with 12 penalties, as well as four turnovers. The injury-riddled Chiefs came in playing good football -- having won three games in a row -- but they matched San Diego's ineptitude with four giveaways and nine penalties of their own.

Eight turnovers ... 21 penalties ... Are you kidding me?

It seems former New England executive Scott Pioli may have his hands full of Welker-type slot receivers. Pioli's Kansas City Chiefs drafted Devon Wylie in the fourth round of the April draft. The Fresno State product has been compared often to Welker, and the Chiefs think the explosive Wylie can play an immediate role.

Wylie might not be the only Kansas City player who will play a Welker role, though -- Dexter McCluster is interested, too.
