Pioli should make a play for the Jags DE Quentin Groves, who is said to be on the block at a discounted rate. Offer up a 4th round pic for the first rounder from 2 years ago. If they bite then we have another weapon to come from the outside opposite Hali.

D Coordinator Darkhorse

JasonM — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 20:57:53 -0000

The majority of the people on this site have decided that Romeo Crennel would be the best choice for our next DC, me included, but I have a new name for you: Bill Davis. He is currently the linebackers coach for the AZ Cardinals, and former DC of the San Francisco 49ers. He runs a 4-3 "under" Defense which is explaned here, along with a 3-4. His father was also the VP of Player Personnel for the Browns for 6 seasons and spent 7 other season in the NFL as well. After reading about coach Davis and learning about his defensive schemes, I think he is my top candidate to be DC. My prediction for the game is: AZ 26 PIT 20. Anquan Boldin will have a huge game and be named MVP.

Realistic FA wishlist.

Orakpo is a Freak!

JasonM — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:13:08 -0000

We have been talking about who we want with our first round draft pick for the past few weeks now. Maualuga, Lairinaitis, Johnson, Oher, Crabtree, and Orakpo have all been mentioned. This morning I stumbled across this ESPN Sportscenter feature on Texas DE Brian Orakpo, and he is a freaking monster. I still want Lairinaitis with the first pick, but if we selected "Rak" I wouldn't be that upset. Check out this video:

I live in Kansas City, MO and wanted to know what the deal was with your franchise? I've read in multiple places that the Hornets and the Bobcats are the teams most likely to relocate. Is there any truth to this, or what? I would never want to steal another cities franchise, but if they are in trouble we did just open the brand new Sprint Center in KC. What type of lease do you have with the city, and do you have any trouble filling the arena? Thanks for the info, and Chris Paul is by far the most exciting player in the League.

Offseason Moves

JasonM — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:49:45 -0000

The offseason that follows this season is one of the most important in recent Kansas City Chiefs history. Could Carl be gone? What about Herm and the coaching staff? That has already been discussed enough on this site, so lets talk about which free agents will be available in the offseason. The key positions we need to make upgrades to our:OL, DE, LB, QB, and WR.

Offensive Line Free Agent Targets

Jordan Gross OT Carolina Panthers- He was franchised for this season, but the chances are it will not happen again. He has been an above average OT since he came into the league in the 2003 draft. With him at RT and Albert at LT we would be in good shape at the tackle position for the next few years.

Marc Colombo OT Dallas Cowboys- He is a very large RT that is in the final year of his contract with Dallas. He is a little older than we may want, but he has played at a high level the past few years at Dallas.

What I would do: Sign Gross to a 4 year deal.

Defensive End Free Agent Targets

Julius Peppers DE Carolina Panthers- Very athletic, but streaky player who looks like he lacks motivation. I'm a little worried about how he will respond to the huge contract he will get this offseason.

Terrell Suggs- A cheaper option to Peppers, but will probably turn out to be worth more in the long run.

What I would do: Flirt with Suggs to see what he wants, probably end up drafting a DE though.

Linebacker Free Agents Targets

Karlos Dansby LB Arizona Cardinals- A must gert in my opinion. He will be exspensive, but he is young, talented, and intense. Visit his website here.

Jonathan Vilma LB New Orleans Saints- Will his relationship with Herm be enough to pull him out of New Orleans? Not sure, but he is proving to be healthy this year and will only be 27 when next season starts.

What I would do: Throw the bank at Dansby.

Quarterback Free Agent Targets

Jeff Garcia QB Tampa Bay Buccaneers- He's a man he's 40! But signing him to a 2 year deal, while a qb we drafted sits on the bench learning would be a good thing.

JP Losman QB Buffalo Bills- Who doesn't want this guy in KC? He will be 28 next year, has a rocket arm, and is a good leader, BUT he is injury prone.

What I would do: Sign Garcia to a 2 year deal, and draft a QB in the 1st round in 2009 or 2010

Wide Reciever Free Agent Targets

Nate Washington WR Pittsburgh Steelers- Young, big play threat( at the combine he ran a 4.5 40, with a 39 inch vertical). He would be a cheap option in the offseason, with more potential than Devard Darling.

TJ Houshmandzadeh WR Cincinnati Bengals- Most accomplished WR to hit the market, he will be way to exspensive for this rebuilding team.

What I would do: Sign Nate Washington to a 5 year deal, and draft a WR as well.

Chiefs go to Philly for coaches?

JasonM — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:09:57 -0000

I'm a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan(very embarassing, but loyal) and wanted to know what you guys think of a few of your coaches and front office types. I wrote a post about it over at Arrowheadpride.com called "If I were in Charge", it is my idea to right the Chiefs ship. The McNabb thing is just wishful thinking. Could you give me your opinions on the guys I chose from the Eagles organization? I have alot of respect for your team and how it is run, if you couldn't tell. Thanks for any info on these coaches.
