PLEASE we don't net Martyball Redux. |

Seems like Saunders makes a few bone headed calls in the red zone every year. For that reason, I would question his in game coaching ability. But, Herm apparently has his own issues there as well. |
Whoa...whoa...whoa.......who is this "Carl Peterson" guy everyone keeps mentioning??
|
Eh...feces happens, yes?
Find me a HC who has NOT made a bonehead call or two. True the excruciatingly boneheaded and game-changing decision to throw against Seattle still raises my hackles and makes me want to call for the DDS, but I try to remember that coaches are people, too. Feet of clay, so forth. xoxo~ Gaz Clay-footed to a frightening degree. |
My sources emailed me this transcript of an interview between Carl and Herm earlier this week...
Carl- What would you bring to this team, namely the defense? Herm- I would bring a passion, a sense of urgency, a new attitude to this defense. Carl- What is thoughts on the offense, we are very good in that area as you know, would you want to change some things at all on that side of the ball? Herm- I do have some things to add maybe... Carl- Do tell... Herm- You guys have always scored touchdowns, that's great but I was thinking of something else... Carl- Ok...and what would that be? Herm- I would like to employ my scheme that I had over with the Jets...I'm not talking about changing the offense, but what you like to do on offense... Carl- Ok...point? Herm- Well, touchdowns are overrated. The league has seen enough of them, and I think it's time to start a new revolution... Carl- Point, please? Herm- The goal on offense would be to score as many field goals as we possibly can... Carl- (Remenising back to the Marty days; day dreaming and looking in the sky...) Sounds good, you're hired. |

I already stated all the reasons why Al as HC would make sense. But I'm not going to get my hopes up because nothing this team does seems to make much sense... |

Since all of the "official" word has been that there are NO negotiations happening, is this just the media backtracking? Trying to keep the amount egg on their collective faces to a minimum? |
Bradway: now Carl, about those mid-round draft picks...
CP: LISTEN TAIT, er...TERRY; STFD and STFU! ...wondering if CP is pulling a repeat of the season opener against the Jets. |
I hope the talks fall through, so we can hire a coach who's just as good without surrendering draft picks.

“A Dramatization of the Herman Edwards Job Interview with KC” Carl Peterson (GM and CEO of the Chiefs): Herm it is a pleasure to see you. Please come in. Herman Edwards: It’s good to see you too. You know when I got your letter inviting me to this interview, I showed it Lia and told her, not everyone gets a letter. We got a letter. We have the right to interview for a head coaching job with the Chiefs. CP: Hey, what happened to your suit? HE: Oh…this? Yeah, it got a little torn. I parked outside the gate and hopped the fence. CP: Why didn’t you just go to security guard? HE: They ain’t going to break me down. I needed something to get fired up about. I like the inconvenience. CP: Ummm…OK. Have a seat. Why don’t we talk a little bit about your philosophy on football? HE: Hello? You play to win the game! CP: What about relative to offense? HE: Offense? Well, obviously, you need to score some points. But it’s not just scoring points. You need to score more points than the other team. Points are good. I like points…woo boy do I like points. But it’s not just points….it’s drives. Oh yeah….drives are big. A good drive is like a peanut. You know it takes some work to crack it and get it open, but when you finally taste that peanut, man it was all worth it. Yes sir, drives are good. CP: Well, what do you think of the offense on this team? HE: Oh yeah…you got some offense here! First of all, you got 10 at QB. We got a 10 in New York too. I like 10….10 is what I like in a QB. 10 makes some throws. And that’s what you have to be able to do at quarterback. You gotta make the throws. I really like that Priest too….that boy can run. And that is what we will do…run the ball. Yeah…I like to run. CP: Well you must like the idea of having a guy like Larry Johnson too? HE: Yeah, well if Priest needs a blow, we’ll see if we can get the kid into the game. But Priest is the man. He’s got 8035 rushing yards. We gotta get him 10,000 yards. He needs to run the ball. If he doesn’t get the ball on a consistent basis, he’s gonna get flustrated….and we don’t want that. CP: What about Tony Gonzalez? HE: Yes sir, I like that way that boy plays. Heck of a blocker….heck of a blocker. CP: Blocker? HE: Oh yeah…obviously, we gotta open up those lanes for Priest. I mean we know he can catch…we know that. But, you’ve got to stick with what you do…run the ball. You see it’s like getting on the bus. Some people get on the bus and go to the back. Some people get on the bus and ride in the front. Don't matter, as long as you're on the bus. Gonzalez will be on the bus. CP: All right, let’s talk a little defense. HE: Alright…my side of the ball! Defense is all about making stops. If you don’t stop the other team they are gonna score. And that’s not good. You got to get off the field. You stay on the field and it’s a problem. CP: What kind of defensive front do you envision running here? HE: Well, we can run a 3-4 or a 4-3. The important thing is that it adds up to 7. As long as you have 7 guys its good. CP: Well, what about the secondary? You seem to prefer a cover-2 scheme. HE: I did a lot of cover-2 in Tampa with Tony. We had lots of success with that in Tampa. Cover-2…boy do I love the cover-2. Heck of a coverage scheme…yes…it is a great one to run. CP: Yeah, but it didn’t work out so good for you in New York. HE: Well…it's like when you go to the prom, you rent your tuxedo, you get one of those big limousines and you feel pretty good. The next day, you come to school, you're driving a Volkswagen. CP: Herm, I have no idea what you are talking about…. HE: That's the good part...it can get fixed. It's like you get a flat tire and you run on that little one you take out the back. Ya know...you're embarrassed because it's that little ugly one and you can't wait to get to the gas station...cause you can fix that tire. We'll get it fixed. It'll get fixed. CP: Herm, I am really confused now… HE: You just haven’t tried the Kool-Aid yet. I’m not pouring any poison into that Kool-Aid, so you’ve got to drink some. CP: OK, Herm I think this interview is over. HE: Hold on now…we haven’t talked about black cats or the dogcatcher yet. No, I am not done by a long shot… CP: Time to leave, Herm. HE: The one thing I do know, I can't play. I do know that. I cannot play, I promise you that. I don't even want to play because I know I couldn't play good enough to help them. But I'll do everything else I can do to help them, and then they have got to go play. CP: Get the hell out of here… HE: All of a sudden, someone got flustrated. Did I ever tell you about how I used to try and catch chickens? CP: Security! Security!!! |

Yeah, this is what John Clayton just said on NFL live. Said the Chiefs have put all the pressure on the Jets, they can drag this thing out to the point where Herm says let me go. Then they can try to get him for free. The Jets need to find a way to close this deal, but they don't have much leverage at all. Bradway's going to the Carl Peterson school of negotation, you think he would've learned better by now.

The people who hate Edwards make me laugh, for what's out there he's one of the better guys. You should just mark Saunders off it's not gonna happen here, it's pretty much an unrealistic thought.
