Latest from Chiefs Camp

Neither Brodie Croyle nor Damon Huard was able to take the offense for a touchdown during two-minute drills. Croyle’s series ended on two sacks, Huard’s on a penalty and an incompletion. … Rookie wide receiver Brad Ekwerekwu of Missouri made the play of the day when he outjumped safety Jon McGraw for a poorly thrown Casey Printers pass. Ekwerekwu won’t make the team, but could stick on the practice squad.

Rookie free agent Tyron Brackenridge is, for now at least, the first-team nickel back. The Chiefs were impressed enough by his play in the offseason practices to give him this opportunity and he hasn’t been disappointing in camp. He broke up a deep Printers pass along the sideline that was intended for Brent Little. Benny Sapp, who has played a lot of nickel back for the Chiefs, has played exclusively at cornerback. … Safety Bernard Pollard made a spectacular interception. He blitzed, jumped to tip Croyle’s pass into the air and then caught the deflection.

Running back Priest Holmes (neck), tight end Jason Dunn (back) and linebacker Nate Harris (foot) did not practice.

Dwayne Bowe is unsigned and not in camp. Running back Larry Johnson continued his holdout and is also not in camp.

It could be a long season this year but this team needs to start over and it should get very exciting in KC again in a few years.

Not as long as Peterson is the GM.

In a few years we will go 13-3 and quickly forget what we did to get there, and thus will lose in the playoffs in car-wreck fashion.

That is the chiefs way: See Derrick Thomas

You guys do realize that the chiefs suck. No LJ & No QB = trouble.

L.J. doesn't want to go to training camp. He'll be there on September 9th and that's all that matters to me. Why wouldn't you go with Huard? He was virtually flawless last season. He was 5-3 as a starter last season and threw 11 TD's and only 1 INT when Green went down.

[KSU4ME]

I'm just disappointed that McGraw got chumped by Ekwerekwu.

And if Sapp is a starting QB, we're hosed.

[doom]

I dont see a light, even a hazy one at the end of the tunnel.

So, quick poll:  Who will be drafting higher next year, the Chiefs or the Dolphins?  Neither team is having the best of off-seasons.  I could see another top-ten pick for Miami next April.

Mean?  I'm a Fins guy, and I'm wondering who is more pessimistic going into the season.

Curious.. why are you a fan of the Dolphins and the Cubs and then are  a Kansas State fan? Do you like the Islanders, Crew, and Trailblazers? And the Dolphins should be much more pessimistic. The Chiefs will atleast be mediocre.

I grew up listening to Harry Caray and Steve Stone on WGN every summer.  Didja know your name backwards is skaw?  As for Miami, well, I guess I'd blame Marino and the Marks brothers.  They were awesome in Tecmo Bowl.

   We suck.  Hopefully we'll suck enough to get booty or some QB better than Huward.

Plays of the Day:  Most noteably, T Damion McIntosh looked particularly impressive this morning in numerous battles with DE Jared Allen.

Big Stix: Former Kansas State standout and recent free agent acquisition T Damion McIntosh dealt out sturdy hits during blitz pick-ups and knocked DE Jared Allen off-balance and to the ground during a pass rush.

 


Day Six Wrap Up

[catsfan20012002]

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/213589.html

Rookie kicker Justin Medlock showed off his range with several long kicks. First, Medlock kicked a 57-yard field goal that hit the crossbar and bounced over. Then a 61-yarder fell short by only a couple of feet.

Medlock also tried three straight kicks from 48 yards. One was good, but another hit the right upright and bounced back and a third was wide right.

He had a strong breeze at his back for all of the attempts.

Kris Wilson, not Boomer Grigsby, was the fullback in a goal-line drill. … The fumble bug that’s hit most of the other running backs finally caught up to Michael Bennett, who put a carry on the ground. … Brodie Croyle showed his arm strength when he rolled left and threw a bullet across his body to Jeff Webb.

Rookie Tank Tyler replaced Alfonso Boone in the starting lineup. … With Ty Law and Patrick Surtain sitting out, the Chiefs used rookie free agent Tyron Brackenridge and Benny Sapp as the starting cornerbacks. Sapp has impressed the Chiefs now that he’s not playing nickel back anymore. He made a leaping interception of a Croyle pass in the back of the end zone. … Linebacker Keyaron Fox, after missing several interception chances earlier in camp, finally got one. It’s not as if he made a great play. Quarterback Casey Printers threw it right to him.

Rookie wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is unsigned and not in camp. Running back Larry Johnson continued his holdout and is also not in camp.

[KSU4ME]

I feel so much better knowing that Sapp is only starting because Surtain/Law are sitting out.

And Boone got dinged up.  One of those injuries only a veteran can have during camp.

[pissclams]

can't wait for this to start

[cireksu]

Should have traded LJ.

2. Yes, patience is a virtue, my friend.
3. I was only mean because you were mean to the Chiefs (greatest football team ever.. yes?)
