So Brian Waters wants out now. I guess trading our best player is becoming an annual tradition. Next season Colquitt is gonna want out.
Apparently Waters got disrespected by Haley and then Pioli refused to meet with him. Haley is fiery, so I can believe him and Waters had it out, but Pioli’s refusal to even [...]
Here we go again
Realistic Expectations
The Chiefs released Pat Surtain, Damon Huard, and Donnie Edwards yesterday. This freed up about another $13 million in cap space. We’re now almost $50 million under the salary cap for 2009. We have to spend over $25 million just to reach the minimum cap number. Obviously, we’ve got a lot of money to spend. [...]
Linesnacker (KFC reference?)
In 2008, our front 7 was by far the worst in football. Statistically, there is no debating this. While our linebackers certainly deserve their share of the blame, I’d argue that they weren’t nearly as bad as our expertly rebuilt defensive line. They were bad, sure. Terrible even.

First of all, if you haven’t read my last post along with the attached comments (I know most people don’t check the site on weekends) you should immediately do so. Phanatic drops some very high quality evaluations of the top offensive tackle prospects in this year’s draft. Probably the most thorough comment we’ve ever had [...]
Big Matt’s Drapht Chat
My next position review was going to cover our linebackers, but I think its more important at this point for me to share my initial thoughts on this year’s draft.
Despite what you hear from some draft “experts”, I think this is a great draft class, at least at the top. I’m confident we can get [...]
Build!
A long time ago I said I was going to do some post-season player evaluations. Those plans had to be put on hold while I waited with baited breath for confirmation of what I desperately hoped to be Herm Edwards’ fate. Between that, our GM search, and our current head coaching search, the [...]
