Brohm moves through waivers
According to Tom Silverstein, Brohm is talking with several teams about whose practice squad he'll join.
It's been suggested around here that he'd be a good developmental prospect to put on the PS for the season. Any chance one of those teams is KC?

...the question is whether Merriman will be able to play after allegedly assaulting a D-level television celebrity named Tila Tequila.

Chiefs sign Bears' Safety Mike Brown
Doesn't seem like a great addition to the roster to me because he hasn't been healthy in years but who knows, I didn't even know we were showing interest in him so this signing caught me completely off guard.

Setting the Story Straight on Larry Johnson, Part 2

As promised, this is the sequel to Part 1 and will hopefully shine a little more light on the future of Larry Johnson and the Chiefs. I'm going to be considering just how much LJ can blame our O-line the last few years, what other backs have been able to do behind statistically-worse trenches as well as try to answer some of the questions presented in the Comments from Part 1. If you missed Part 1, go read it first, some key terms that I'll be using here are explained there and none of this post will make sense without at least partially grasping DYAR, DVOA, etc... There are several new terms as well that are related to the evaluation of the offensive line so it's important that you take a few minutes to make sure you've got it all straight before reading further if you want to avoid being epically confused.

"As a young player when I was growing up, I was looking at the guys ahead of me like Donnie Edwards, Marvcus Patten and Tony Gonzalez, guys that were years ahead of me in the league and to see how they developed themselves and worked to become pros," Beisel said. "Traveling throughout the league the past four years since I have been gone, being in New England … all New England is is a group of veterans that know how to win and be professional. That is what we developed in Arizona the past couple years, and that is what we are hoping to develop here."
The more quality leaders we can score now the better off we'll be come August. We've got lots of good talent, just have to show them how to be successful in the NFL rather than habitually relying solely on talent.

Setting the Story Straight on Larry Johnson, Part 1

So we've been talking a lot about the Chiefs Larry Johnson around here lately and after reading and talking with a lot of the contributors to this site that one thing we're all curiously missing is hard numbers on LJ's true effectiveness in the 2008 season. To do this, I'm using numbers provided by Football Outsiders to give us stats that have been adjusted for the circumstances (ie: the difference between running on Denver versus running on Carolina last year) as opposed to the easily misleading, conventional "yds/carries/etc..." stats we see so often.
That said, the numbers aren't looking too great for LJ once they've been adjusted properly. Figures are after the break.

The Current State of the Chiefs and The 2009 NFL Draft

From the FanPosts. Effort like this is rewarded. -Chris
It's never too early to start looking down the road at what sort of talent is going to be available on day 1 of the 2009 Draft, especially when you're 1-8 on the season and coming off a 4-12 season which ended with 9 straight losses.
I'll also be going over each of the key position groups and what the depth chart currently looks like to see from where we came and get a better idea of how far away we are from being back in contention for the West. Also a little fantasy advice scattered throughout. More after the flip!
