Welcome to Kansas City, Eric!

I hope Mr. Fisher is fitting in well. I'm sure he's received a pretty warm welcome so far.

With 1 word, Patriots’ no-huddle an NFL marvel
I thought this was a pretty good read about the Patriots offense and how they run it. I also know there's a lot of Chip Kelly fans around here so I thought I'd post it. It talks about the Patriots' system that was influenced by Oregon's offense. Also, I know there are some that are still a little confused about why Berry has been playing so close to the line of scrimmage in Dime formations. That is addressed a little here also. Great read for anyone who loves reading about X's & O's. "I think one of the biggest differences [between old-school no-huddle and what the Patriots are running today] is just the versatility of the players," Brady said. "How teams try to defend no-huddle is that you have big safeties that are like linebackers. And linebackers are like small safeties that can cover. Then you have big tight ends that can run routes but also run block. And then you have fullbacks that can make a bunch of plays down the field, so it’s not like back then, it was like these two guys only do this. This guy, your fullback, only isolates on the middle linebackers and runs diagonals to the flat."

Full version coming out soon, but I just wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of this thing so far. I had a lot of this done before I started the 3 for the BBBS event, so I get a little bit more time to work on it. It is a riff on the great shots taken of Ali's famous KO of Liston Get pumped for the draft. I have a feeling this will be a fun one to experience :) Everyone can view this larger on my Facebook page H/T Mully for the suggestion :)

22I just wanted to throw out a big thanks to you guys, once again. As of this month, my Posterized series has hit over a million and a half downloads and appears to be rising at a steady rate. I couldn't believe the number when I looked at it. That's truly awesome. I very much appreciate the support and all the pavement pounding you guys have done on my behalf in the last two years! Look for some awesome stuff coming up soon not only from myself individually, but with the Chiefs officially as well. And with that, I'll drop a teaser on the next painting. Think this, but with these guys :) (H/T Mully for the suggestion!) Go Chiefs!

I wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of what I've been working on for a few weeks now. I've still got some painting to do on it and can't give an exact date of release, but I was a little too excited to contain this one. The real thing will include a lot of players (eleven more than you see here). The sheer scale that this had to be to include our "playmakers" is impressive when I compare it to what this would have looked like when Pioli first took over. Yikes. That thing wouldn't have been a wide shot at all. This will probably go through a series of revisions as the new players' numbers get sorted out and we add draft picks. At any rate, enjoy! (the painting and the offseason!)

Chiefs Owner Acknowledges Serious Interest In Peyton Manning
2"I don’t know how important money will be to him, but I’m sure it will be part of the equation. But he’s going to be looking for an environment that he’s comfortable in." Interesting.

There were definitely moments of this press conference where I could swear that Peyton almost looked giddy. Irsay, on the other hand, looked sick almost the entire time.

Apparently right now during these defensive back drills, there are 3 quarterbacks there to throw to the DBs... and they all just got benched for Chiefs' coach Otis Smith. Priceless.

36Let's play a game. We've all heard a lot this year about depth and how that's a primary concern moving forward (we've heard similar things in the past about team speed, leadership, etc). The fact that we're finally at the point where we're able to address depth is an awesome thing. With that in mind, the Chiefs have roughly been averaging 4 contributors / starters a year in the draft. If you had to pick 4 positions on the team to add depth to in the draft, which would you choose? When I say depth, I mean he will come in and contribute off the bench behind someone like DJ or Berry. Which positions, from an organizational standpoint, do you bolster? (Remember - position, not player)
