5. Acquiring Zach Thomas and Mike Vrabel: The acquisition of Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas will be high risk high reward for the Chiefs. Vrabel and Thomas will either be the good soldier, hard working leaders the Chiefs expect them to be or they will be the 09 versions of Donnie Edwards. Both players will be [...]

via cache.boston.com View full size photo uploaded July 1, 2009 Watching the 2009 NFL Draft, many of us thought, and rightly so, that Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio would grab a pass rushing OLB after sending Mike Vrabel to the Chiefs in a package deal with Matt Cassel . BZZZZZZTTTTT!! Were we wrong. When questioning the collective sanity of the Patriots organization, I often try to remind myself...

I was perusing Pro Football Talk yesterday (Nice new digs, Florio) and came across an item regarding the Chiefs official announcement of the Colin Brown signing. If you read Arrowhead Pride regularly, you knew about this signing on June 23rd. But the Chiefs didn't make it official until June 30th. A bit strange, no? Florio suggested that this might be the next move in the new regime's chess game with...

Vince Redd works on rushing the passer. View full size photo uploaded July 1, 2009 Andy Hart feels the Patriots' answer at outside linebacker is already on the roster . While I would never rule out the summertime addition of a veteran presence to the OLB spot (probably a lesser name, not a Peppers) I think the team is going with what it has at this point. But I don’t see any one player taking...

There were 67 young Tedy Bruschis playing football on the New England Patriots field today. And one 36-year-old Bruschi who may be doing that just one more season. The boys and girls, aged 7 to 14 , all were wearing dark-blue Patriots jerseys with Bruschi's name and number 54 on them, given as part of the linebacker's one-day football camp at Gillette Stadium. Bruschi spent less time on that field...

via Boston Globe Former New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns LB/DE Willie McGinest has his sights set on one more year in the NFL. If the free agent had his way, it would be in a 3-4 defense. Considering the jump his sack totals took in the first year he moved from defensive end to linebacker in the Patriots 3-4 (5.5 to 9.5), this is the best move for him statistically. A long-time veteran of...

via i.pbase.com The Kansas City Chiefs made the signing of veteran safety Mike Brown official on Thursday, June 26th. Today we've learned the contract is a one year deal with a base salary of $900,000. We haven't figured out the signing bonus information (if any, which is unlikely). The contract is in line with the deals (excluding signing bonus) of other veterans the Chiefs front office has inked...

The Monterey County Herald landed an interview with former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards. It's a pretty well written piece that has some good information on Herm and his future in the NFL. Addressing the Chiefs, he says : Edwards insists that going through a stretch where the Chiefs went 3-22 over the last 25 games of his coaching tenure did not leave a bad taste in his mouth. "We...

From: Fox Sports The question of who will replace former Patriot Mike Vrabel at outside linebacker began heating up in minicamp as a number of players continued their strong offseasons. Among them are Shawn Crable, Gary Guyton and Pierre Woods. Crable and Woods are the logical choices since they are outside linebackers and head coach Bill [...]

I was just reading an article about the Chiefs new coach Todd Haley. He has rubbed player’s wrong in the past with confrontations with Terrell Owens(which is not that unusual) and Anquan Bolton. He’s an in your face type of coach. Apparently he’s already having problems with Brian Waters and Mike Vrabel. This reminds me of [...]

Fiery and blunt, Kansas City's first-year coach is using his no-nonsense approach to try to change a losing culture that's bogged the Chiefs down the past two seasons. After the team completed offseason practices under Haley this week, it's clear everything -- from the workouts to the attitude -- is going to be different around Arrowhead. Call Haley the anti-Herm. "It's been like night and day,"...
