Brian Waters lines up at center (via KC Star)
Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star just appeared on 610 Sports talking Chiefs training camp. Here are a few notes I took.
- Thinks Sean Ryan might be the starting tight end over Brad Cottam. Cottam is "not doing himself any favors" by missing practice time.
- "There's already a comfort level with the coaching staff with Jackie Battle." Don't make too much of it now, but something to keep an eye on. Notes special teams ability.
- "I'm not going to make any judgment on Larry Johnson right now."
- On Larry Johnson: "Let's see what happens the first time they take him out on 1st down or the game's over and he only has eight carries."
- They do a lot more situational plays in camp this year than previous years.
- On Kolby Smith: "I talked to him when camp started and he indicated he was a little ways away. He's missed time already, and he'll miss more time so probably the best thing to do is just shut him down and let him rehab his knee."
- "Right now it appears they're settling in at halfback with Johnson, Charles and Battle" but that could change.
- Dorsey was sucking wind in between plays. Media talked to him 5 or 10 minutes after practice and he was still breathing hard.
- Haley is "extremely organized" which is "encouraging to start off with"
- Turk McBride: "He's learning a new position and he doesn't look like he runs well enough to play that OLB spot. They've got a guy by the name of Andy Studebaker that appears to be their project there at OLB."
- On Tyson Jackson needing to be in camp: "We're getting close. If we're talking [about playing in] the first preseason game, then he needs to be here this week."

After the jump, I've got a photo montage of OLB Andy Studebaker laying out RB Jamaal Charles. He's lucky this wasn't a real game.
