Good morning AG!
And What A Glorious Morning It Is, Lets Check Out The News…
Remembering former Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers’ iconic pick-six vs. Raiders | fucktheraiders
One of Flowers’ most iconic interceptions was a pick-six made back in 2011 against the then-Oakland Raiders. Flowers recently joined Chiefs team reporter Matt McMullen and announcer Mitch Holthus on their “Defending The Kingdom” podcast, revealing this to be his favorite play. He broke down the interception and what made it so special to him.
“That was one of my favorite — it has to be my favorite play,” Flowers said of the pick-six. “In uniform, just on the road. Whenever a player plays on the road, it’s just something special about hearing boos and when you make a play, how the crowd just has to look at you. But doing it against the Oakland Raiders? It was just so surreal.”
Chiefs to re-sign RB Jerick McKinnon on one-year deal | chiefswire
According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs plan to re-sign RB Jerick McKinnon on a one-year deal. Kansas City signed McKinnon to a prove-it deal last season, using the veteran salary benefit to save salary-cap space. That proved to be a good investment for the team in 2021. By season’s end, McKinnon was the team’s lead running back.
Seeing the Chiefs add McKinnon ahead of mandatory minicamp isn’t a huge surprise. PFF recently ranked the team’s RB room among the worst in the NFL. It underscored the need for more competition, which should help make the group stronger heading into the most important part of the offseason.

Chiefs UDFA Spotlight: Virginia OL Chris Glaser | usatoday
A three-star recruit out of Solon High School in Solon, Ohio, Glaser had offers from nearly a dozen different schools including Cincinnati, Toledo, Iowa State and Syracuse. Glaser opted to attend Virginia and saw his decision rewarded by becoming one of 17 true freshman to play for the Cavaliers.
Glaser would continue as a backup through 2018, but by the 2019 college football season he was UVA’s starter at the right guard position. His best year undoubtedly came in 2021 as a super senior, when he helped Virginia set single-season school records in total offense and passing offense.

Local Chiefs Reporters:
There is simply no one in this business more thoughtful and generous than Dani. Football coaches talk about “energy givers,” and that’s what she is. Work is always more enjoyable when Dani is in the room. Can’t wait to see what she tackles next! Good luck!
Thank you, Kansas City!
My final day at KCTV5 is this coming Friday, but first...
Dani is exceptional at every part of the job. So often, she helped me & other media members get better. She invited me to be the 1st guest on the Locker Room Show, a time when we discussed the lead up to the 2019 NFL Draft. I’m super excited to see what’s next in Dani’s career.
Thank you, Kansas City!

We sat down with @trent_mcduffie in the NLBM to discuss how vital it is to learn about the history of baseball from Black athletes who help shaped the sport to what it is today.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in #ChiefsKingdom
Today’s dad joke: why was the stadium so hot after the game? 🤔
Today is a day to listen and learn, but most importantly, to take action towards a more equal and equitable future. #Juneteenth

Thanks rip
I’m surprised that McKinnon didn’t get any offers from other teams. He was by far our best RB last season. I’m big happy we are getting him back. If he is the ceiling for our RB room then we should be fine but just imagine if he is the floor.
Injury prone
and he is 30 years old
Gettin a little long in the tooth
Not as “perky,” certainly, as ChiefDog’s posts, but here you go:
And for those who like a little tea in the afternoons:
More “A” than “T” IMHO …; )
So Browns
hahahahahaha
hmmmm
This is a real stretch of a hot take. The only way I could see this happening is if Bienemy, Nagy, and anyone else Andy has in the HC training pipeline is hired away. And even in that instance I’d think he’d put off retirement until he had someone trained to replace him, unless he was unable to do so for health or related reasons.
Yeah, this seems more like a personal pipe dream than a hawt teak. A good teak has at least a little bit of a chance to come true, even if highly unlikely. This just goes way beyond that.
There has been a little bit of offseason anxiety surrounding the Chiefs’ pass-rush situation.
.
Outside of the addition of first-round rookie George Karlaftis, the team hasn’t done much to improve the position group. They’re banking a lot on a potential bounce-back year for Frank Clark and some unproven younger players like Joshua Kaindoh and Malik Herring.
.
A third-year leap for Mike Danna could also be in order. Clark stayed away from the action during OTAs, but it’ll be intriguing to see what the rotation looks like with a full house of edge rushers in the building.
I assume that either Reid and Veach have someone they are convinced is going to step up, or (more likely) they are waiting to get Orlando signed to free up some cap space and then making a trade for a DE.
Look for Spags to utilize our MLBs, safeties and corners more in blitzing. Niemann was one of the worst blitzing LBs I have ever seen and Mathieu really seemed to take a step back in the blitzing department. Part of Mathieu’s issue probably stemmed from Sorensen being a total liability in coverage as our 3rd safety.
Some more good insight.
I think you are exactly right
I agree. I think that’s exactly right
On a biz flight to San Diego 🙂
Have my Chiefs suitcase – yes suitcase ladies — not roller bag or backpack.
86 days til, 1st NFL game
Have a chuckle and try not to laugh like these two guys 😊
Love the McKinnon signing – it is good to put pressure on those above him on the depth chart.
It seemed the whole team played with more energy when he was on the field.
Hated when the let him go , super pumped he’s back ..one day closer to football…….
I love any RB that will push CEH — either to play like 1st round pick….or FOLD like a lawn chair.
Like in the real world – when a man wants your JOB – you either Step Up or Step OUT the door. Which are you CEH????
CEH hear these men Footsteps??
Ronald Jones, Derrick Gore, Isiah Pacheco, Jerrion Ealy and Tayon Fleet-Davis, McKinnon
CEH did play better once he got benched for McKinnon. While I’m not counting on it, I think McKinnon pushing him is the only chance for CEH.
Personally I’m really looking forward to McKinnon and Pacheco getting to the outside. CEH has looked too slow to get to the edge.
And below him. It puts pressure on Pacheco and Early to earn spots, especially as the possible replacements for the “speed RB” in Andy’s scheme.
McKinnon is a great role model for Pacheco.
Pacheco is a camp body.
He will never make the team
He has the speed. Andy loves speed. Darrel was undrafted and stuck around. Darwin was a late round pick and stuck around.
You may be right but I wouldn’t bet on it.
I’ll bet on it
How much you got?
What if he makes the practice squad?
doesn’t count as “team”
and I doubt he makes the practice squad
