Peter King's Midseason All-Pro Teams.

Fearless forecast: Kansas City will win at least 10 games and it will make the playoffs. The Chiefs already have a two-game lead in the AFC West. After playing at the Colts and the Texans after the bye, Kansas City’s schedule gets very manageable the rest of the season. I can easily see this team going, at least, 7-6 the rest of the way.

NBC's take on Rookie Success.

Cassel - Huddle General?

Still listening to the post game show here. Mitch Holtus asked Lance Long about that 30-yard catch he had in OT. Basically, Long said that Cassel set that up in the huddle after they noticed some specifics as to how the safeties had been playing.

Gotta say that sounds pretty good to me. I'm pretty happy with that.

"He wasn't in the plans; that's the beginning of Scott (Pioli) and Todd (Haley's) time here. They want guys who are going to fit in to what they want and try to develop and build a team."

—Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel, on the release of RB Larry Johnson.

A dead issue, but I thought this had some interesting quotes.

The Chiefs defense switched from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense this season. As a past offensive coach, Haley said he knows what a 3-4 is capable of doing to an offense. "It just creates a whole slew of problems and schematic issues," he said. Haley said the 3-4 is what his coaching staff knew best, and what he was most familiar with himself. "For me, it was a no-brainer to go with it," he said. When asked how players were transitioning into the 3-4, Haley mentioned defensive end Glenn Dorsey who practiced for just the second time this morning. Haley said that he saw Dorsey be active and disciplined today. He also mentioned that defensive ends turned linebackers Tamba Hali, Andy Studebaker and Turk McBride are all making impressive progress as well. "It’s too early to pass judgment, however," Haley said. The Chiefs tackles have had some problems adjusting to the 3-4 as well. Haley said there’s been times when they’ve gone after the wrong guy or blocked down when they should have been blocking up, but he knows all the mistakes are "part of the learning process."
