Your days in this town are numbered, Dee Ford

Maybe.

But looking around, they need as many guys to be developed at OLb as they can get.

Ford has one more year left.

He won't be getting an extension.

I doubt it.

Unless he just goes crazy and becomes a complete player. Which is probably not likely.

Even if he has a great year, I doubt he's resigned.

So you're probably right.

My only guess is that he was victimized trying to react to a Patrick Mahomes II no-look pass.

Read Prisco's game-by-game predictions. He has the Chiefs losing all 8 road games and winning all 8 home games.

Dude put ZERO ****ing creativity (or time) into his picks.

Lol, that’s actually kinda funny. Pretty certain nothing like that has ever happened in the NFL.

Maybe I read it wrong, but it looked like he had us being swept by the Donks.

Doesn't surprise me.

I've been spending some time on /r/NFL and the amount of people picking the Chargers to win the division and Chiefs to place third and even fourth in the division is staggering.

I get it.

It's just the unknown of a new starting QB. Plus it seems a lot of those sites don't really give much thought into coaches and staffs.

2013: 6-10
2014: 6-10
2015: 8-8
2016: 9-7
2017: 8-8

Prisco’s Dumbass has been wrong about us every year for the last 5 seasons. We’ve won more games than his predictions every year.

Is Nate Taylor on the twitter feed? He's got a lot of CHiefs info.

CP's infatuation with Pete ****ing Prisco is perplexing to me.

If it weren't for this place's tendency to get all up in arms over anything that troll-ass wannabe-sports-writer publicizes, I would forget he was even a living, breathing Human Being.

Seriously. Let it go. He's picked this team to be bad for the last 5 seasons. If nothing else, that's a good sign.

ROFL

Makes sense since the Donks have had so much success against us the last few years. :rolleyes:

Pat getting his first career win against them is pretty sweet!

This. I don't get why people seek out negative opinions and then get up in arms when they find them.

It's 2018, it's not hard to avoid "analysts" and their opinions.

I used to love visiting the Wife's family in Minnesota….always went the second week of training camp. I would "sneak away" and head over to River Falls for the day.

I sort of miss River Falls….naw….

Andy Reid only got Smith to perform the best he ever had in his entire career.

Sure did.

Be it in year whatever it was in his career, but he did.

The Chiefs may not be as talented as some of the other teams in the division. I understand that. But they want us to think teams coached by Vance Joseph and Anthony Lynn are going to beat Andy Reid teams consistently?

Nah.

I heard his physical therapy just wasn't going the right way.

That's hilarious. I've heard the name but don't know much about him. Is he some east coast guy who just follows the teams in the northeast? It seems like those guys are always clueless.

FYP

There was an article on MSN.com about the key piece that each team added in the offseason and for the Chargers they chose a ****ing kicker. Because that's the key piece that the Chargers were missing this last season. That kicker is going to push them to the Super Bowl!

There is only one difference. The team should be improved everywhere else. They’re all buying that not having Smith makes that much difference.

Did Denver re-sign Manning or something? No way do they sweep us. One other thought, DAT needs to go. We have better options than him at WR/RB/returner.

I saw that.

I mean, yeah sure, last year a good kicker makes a difference for them. But what will it be this year?

Another NFL power ranking has the Chiefs finishing 7-9. Would that be an unsuccessful season? https://610sports.radio.com/media/au...-power-ranking …

What a stupid ****ing question.

No that'd be a great season...what a bunch of ****ing idiots.

12-4.

Well, weeding out the pussies quickly!

I will look for him and can add him.
Edit- in. Thanks.
If you think of any more PM me.

I'd rather go into the year with a bunch of haters on a National level, honestly. It's more fun when we prove them all wrong.

Pat is going to light this league on fire, and we can all enjoy watching it burn.

So Tremon Smith had a nice break up pass today as one of the better plays of the day per BJ Kissel. It feels like every time he’s on the field he’s making some sort of impact.

Starting to like him way more than broke dick Watts

Armani Watts is already injured? :facepalm:

Glass vag alert.

Smith was my "rookie to watch." Love everything about his game, including his maturity.

They need Tramon Smith to hit and be a legit corner. That would go a long ass way to helping the D.

If 3 or 4 of those defensive picks can contribute day one, this team can win a Super Bowl in the next few years for certain.

Would MUCH rather spend the money on Breeland if we can get him.

It's also unclear how much Rogers is demanding. I was thinking a cheapass 2-year $4 million deal or something like that. If he's expecting $4-5 mill AAV or possibly even more, then pass on that bitch all day.

Meh in my opinion. With how Andy Reid moves the receivers around I think the slot receiver need is a bit overblown here at CP. Eli Rogers is a luxury, as RealSNR states I would much rather spend the money on Breeland.

Hell yeah! He’ll be a Chief tomorrow if I had to guess.

If you bring in Breeland, you have 4 guys with starting experience. Not sure who the odd man out would be, but it’s a good problem to have.

Smith might play his way into the lineup anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If Tremon Smith and/or one of the other guys like Reaser, Redmond, or Springs shows that they should be on the roster, I'm looking at Amerson as a possible cut. Perhaps even Nelson.

I think Nelson is about to have a great season tbh. So long as he’s healthy.

Amerson is the prototypical size of corner both Reid and Sutton like. If he can show he's recovered from injury, they'll force feed him on to the roster just to see if he'll stick, ala Marcus Cooper or your boy Dunta Robinson.

If he does stick, the Chiefs will have to overpay him next year if they want to keep him around.

I'd much rather go with one of our own guys instead of Amerson if those other guys are sufficiently up to the task.

LMAO

You and these gifs!

I'm good with this.

I think corner is far and away the weak link on the defense this year, so let the best man win regardless of contract or experience.

I agree!

Add to that a mediocre coach who’s been out fo the league a decade. I hadn’t thought about it from the coaching matchups. Damn. That’s a tough row to hoe for those guys.

Your GIF game is first class, sir.

Am drinking whiskey and in full-on Chiefs hype mode.

Came across this and had forgotten about it. So ****ing awesome.

We have 5 guys who can be really good pass rushers. If it all clicks they'll be alot of secondary guys who will have career years.

And if it doesn’t click there’ll be a lot of secondary guys who will have new careers this time next year.

Either way, I’m in.

Yup I'm just excited to watch Mahomes. I don't think this team will be great and I expect Mahomes to look brilliant at times and to struggle at others. That's what it's like dealing with a young QB and that's ok

Interesting that this is happening the day Bashaud Breeland comes to town :hmmm:

Maul Ware is still my guy. Good for him, and I hope he rapes faces this year.

That means Ware has a a great chance to make the roster. Hopefully it means good things with Breeland too.

I hope to see some improvement in Hunt's pass protection. He missed out on a lot of 3rd down opportunities last year due to his weakness there.

I’m more optimistic now.

Breeland Speaks had a pick today in practice.

Let the Bob Sutton rage flow..

Surely a Chad Henne pass.

That's positive news.

Was that it? Was that the first pass of the Mahomes starting era?

He had to move his feet to catch that. BUST.

The throw was high and to the outside....ensuring it would either be caught by the receiver or go incomplete (no INT)

Yeah, bust is right....I just busted all over

Sounds like his robot arm could use some lube.

Mahomes threw it. Keitzman's wet dream will be played out live from 2:00 to 6:00 today on BTL. Lol!

Yep. Get ready for more...

"Alex Smith should have been here 2 more years while Mahomes is learning on the bench."

Holy shit. We have a D-lineman named Dee Liner?

GTFO, no way. That's awesome. He MUST make the team.

And two Breelands and like 50 Smith's

Yeah the Breeland thing keeps throwing me off.

And our entire RB stable is named Williams.

He picked off Pat :shake:

at least we don't have twin "-eem" Hunt RBs anymore.

That wasn't so bad because at least one was really good and the other one sucked. It was easy to tell them apart.

All three of these Williams clowns suck.

Five Observations from Tuesday’s Chiefs’ Camp Practice

(BJ Kissel)

The Kansas City Chiefs took the field for the second day of training camp with the quarterbacks, rookies, and a few select veterans who are working their way back from injuries.

Once again, these guys aren’t in pads and there’s no contact allowed, but here are a few things that still stood out during the practice, which lasted about an hour and 40 minutes.

1. Rookie second-round pick Breeland Speaks had his first interception

Early in practice during a seven-on-seven period, Speaks dropped into coverage across the middle and quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t see him as Speaks jumped up and picked it off.

It was a nice display of spatial awareness from Speaks, who is new to coverage and being out in space as he transitions from a defensive lineman in college at Ole Miss to outside linebacker for the Chiefs.

On Monday, Speaks said he spent part of his offseason working defensive back drills in order to work on his footwork and have a better feel out in space. It looks like it paid off for at least this one play on Tuesday.

2. Mahomes found receiver Gehrig Dieter across the middle for a touchdown in red zone work

It was a perfect display of a nice throw and perhaps an even better catch.

The window couldn’t have been much tighter and the two defenders were probably toeing the line of defensive pass interference, but nonetheless, Mahomes threw a dart across the middle in red zone work to second-year receiver Gehrig Dieter, who made a fantastic catch with plenty of contact from both sides as defenders also fought for the ball.

But it was Dieter who maintained control of the ball as he went to the ground—resulting in a touchdown.

Dieter has been one of Mahomes’ favorite targets through the first two days of these abbreviated training camp practices, and it makes sense considering they are close friends off the field and they’ve spent a lot of time training together.

Dieter was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama last year. He spent last season on the Chiefs’ practice squad.

3. A few rookie undrafted free agents made some nice plays

For the second day in a row, cornerback D’Montre Wade out of Murray State—made a nice play on the ball during team work.

Wade was blanketing the receiver during a red zone period as veteran backup quarterback Chad Henne attempted to hit a receiver on a short out route to the left side, but Murray was able to get his left arm out in front of the receiver and deflect the pass.

Former LSU running back Darrel Williams, who was one of the top available players that went undrafted this past year, showed some nice hands during the 7-on-7 and team periods as well. He caught multiple passes out of the backfield from all kinds of angles.

Williams caught 23 passes for 331 yards last year for LSU, averaging an impressive 14.4 yards per catch.

(For more on Williams’ story, check out this feature from back at rookie minicamp)

And finally, former Kansas State receiver Byron Pringle made this nice grab during individual work.

4. Veteran OL Mitch Morse is getting some key reps with Mahomes

Morse, who has started 38 games in his career after being the team’s second-round pick in 2015 of the University of Missouri, missed most of last season with an injured foot. But he’s now back on the field and using these first few days of camp to knock some of the rust off.

“Honestly, getting the footwork back—trusting it,” Morse explained of what he’s focused on as he’s working his way back. “This is really the first time I’ve been able to push and get pushed with it. It’s a confidence-builder and the coaches have been great with all of that.”

Morse’s injury last year required surgery and led to two screws being inserted into his foot. One of the screws was removed earlier this offseason, which caused him to miss offseason workouts, and one of the screws will always remain.

Morse played in only seven games last year after missing just one in the first two years of his career, and it’s important for him as a center to get some much-needed reps with his young quarterback right now.

After Tuesday’s practice, Morse spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on getting back on the field.

“First, I’d like to thank everyone in the training room,” Morse said. “It was a really tough time for me last year. And just being out there with the guys now—putting a helmet back on, I mean, it was a long process. But it’s a blast (right now), man.”

Morse, who tried to play through some discomfort last year after the injury, which he said came on a fluke play against the Philadelphia Eagles and their All-Pro defensive lineman Fletcher Cox, said the toughest part of being out last year was not being out on the field for his teammates.

“The year before I’d seen guys like Larry [Duvernay-Tardif] and [Mitch] Schwartz tough through some injuries, so I wanted to give back to my team and get back out there,” Morse added. “But structurally, it just wasn’t there. We did everything by the book (in the rehab). I can’t say enough good things about these guys.”

Back at OTAs, Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid said that Morse, if healthy, would get the nod as the starting center once again going into the season.

And when healthy, Morse has proven to be one of the league’s more-athletic centers, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ fourth-ranked center in the AFC in the run game two years ago. He was routinely seen 15-20 yards downfield blocking in an offense that’s built around its linemen getting out in space.

Morse’s integration back into the offense, as well as just getting back into “football shape,” will be one of the key storylines of training camp.

5. Only two players didn’t practice Tuesday

After leaving Monday’s practice early with an ankle injury, rookie fourth-round pick Armani Watts—the safety out of Texas A&M—didn’t practice for the Chiefs on Tuesday.

Watts was seen walking around on the sideline watching the rest of the team practice.

And cornerback Ashton Lampkin, who didn’t practice on Monday and is working his way back from a knee injury, also didn’t practice. He was also spotted on the sideline.

How do you throw an int on 7 on 7 drills? and to a DT nonetheless.. uugh
