Chiefs Training Camp Day 10: OPEN THREAD

Chiefs Training Camp Day 10:

OPEN THREAD

by Laddie Morse

Mid to upper 90 degrees is not ideal temperature for a football game… much less a two and a half hour practice. Head Coach Andy Reid didn’t recognize the high heat having an affect on the team but several bloggers and posters who attended the practice said it was “lethargic.”

Patty Takes – You’re Number One!

Just to sooth those who are not sure which QB is the real starter:

Seriously, I don’t know why some people post the things they do.

It’s critical that Andy Reid set expectations for these Training Camp practices. Those expectations may not be the same as game day expectations so outlining that and making sure everyone understand that is job one. Reid does a good job in that sense:

Dandy Duel of the Day

This duel should maybe not be on the list because it turned out to be not such a duel at all:

What makes this duel worse is that Hill keeps on running right off the field ala Bo Jackson running down the tunnel after scoring a TD. Pitting Tyreek Hill — the fastest man in the NFL — against CB Step Durham — an UDFA rookie — is beyond unfair. Of course, it might be said that pitting Hill against anyone, is unfair.

Turning Up the Watt-age

Armani Watts has been getting noticed in camp.

Say the word “Safety” and I think of the big hits that Eric Berry has provided for years now. When watching Armani Watts game tape, you can see those same kinds of hits over and over again. That’s one of the reasons I was excited to see Watts in Training Camp. Now that he’ on the field, apparently, he hasn’t disappointed.

Chiefs Could Go On the Dieter’s Diet

Wide receivers Gehrig Dieter, Blake Mack, Byron Pringle, and Marcus Kemp — to name a few — are all having a very good camp. It will be surprising if at least one of these young men don’t make the team.

Dandy Duel of the Day II

CB Arrion Springs has been laying it all on the line every single day of Training Camp. He deserves talk like we’ve been giving to Tremon Smith. He’s been that good in coverage. It’s hard to see how the Chiefs could cut a CB with cover skills as good as this:

What Time? Justin Time!

I re-watched the Chiefs season opener in New England from last year this weekend. Here’s my favorite play… besides all the times Kareem Hunt touched the ball. Sorry I could only find blurry videos of this play. Still, if you’re a Chiefs fan… the thrill if never gone.

If Justin Houston says he’ll be better than that in 2018… I will be one Jolly Holly Happy Ole Chiefs Fan.
