CHIEFS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Alex Smith can’t escape the pistol offense in Kansas City
According to Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star via NFL.com, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith was seen running a bunch of plays out of the pistol formation. He of course ran the same offense with the 49ers last season.
The Chiefs hired the creator of the pistol, former Nevada coach Chris Auit to help with running as well as stopping the pistol.
It would make sense for the Chiefs...
Kansas City Chiefs Entertaining Idea of Pistol Offense
Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star wrote Monday that the Chiefs are tinkering with the Pistol Spread offense for newly-acquired quarterback Alex Smith.
Smith, who ran a similar offense while in college at Utah with Urban Meyer, would be allowed to run and get outside of the pocket more in Andy Reid‘s offense. The hiring of Chris Ault – “Godfather of the Pistol” – as an...
Alex Smith runs the ‘pistol’ offense in offseason training activities, team wants QB to be dual threat
The new Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly had interest in Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith while he was still with the San Francisco 49ers.
Kelly felt Smith had the athletic ability to run the read option offense, well, so does the former Eagles now turned Chief coach Andy Reid.
Smith ran a similar offense with Urban Meyer while in college at the University of Utah...
Ryan Lilja’s Potential Comeback Put “On Hold”
The Kansas City Star’s Adam Teicher is reporting former Chiefs offensive lineman, Ryan Lilja, is putting his possible reunion tour “on hold” due to offseason surgeries he endured, as well as Kansas City’s content with the “capable bodies along their line.”
Lilja, who retired after the 2012 season, was contacted more than a month ago by the Chiefs and new head coach Andy...

Kansas City Chiefs speedster Jamaal Charles gives us a sneak peek into his life outside the lines. Charles, Brandon Flowers, and company look like they’re welcome guests at the friendly neighborhood Twin Peaks.

Chiefs defense wins day during offseason workouts
The Kansas City Chiefs defense has lived by the bend-but-don't-break mantra the past few years under Romeo Crennel. Well, that's out the window now.
New defensive coordinator Bob Sutton would prefer to attack from the word, ''Hike,'' and during the first week of organized team activities, his players have taken quite the shine to it.
The Chiefs only intercepted...

Alex Smith already becoming leader of Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) It hasn't taken long for Alex Smith to become the leader of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The weight of the franchise was foisted upon his shoulders from the very second word leaked out that former No. 1 draft pick would be sent from the San Francisco 49ers to the Chiefs during a topsy-turvy offseason.
If he wasn't considered the leader in the huddle then...

Dwayne Bowe predicts he'll lead NFL in catches and TDs; is that realistic?
The last time the Kansas City Chiefs got competent and consistent play from the quarterback position, in 2010, Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe led the league with 15 touchdown catches. So with Alex Smith coming to KC to bring some much-needed competency to the quarterback position, it wouldn't be far-fetched to imagine Bowe returning to the top of touchdown mountain in 2013...
Kansas City Chiefs Sign Draft Pick Braden Wilson
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed 2013 NFL Draft Pick, 204th overall Braden Wilson to a four-year contract. He has a tough road ahead of him making the 53-man roster as he really contributes lead blocking and nothing else; something that is getting waned out some in the National Football League. Expect him to either latch on as a special teams player or be added to someones practice...
Dwayne Bowe says he’ll lead the NFL in receptions and touchdowns in 2013
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is one pretty confident person. He told the Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star that he’ll lead the league this season in receptions and touchdowns. He also believes in running back Jamaal Charles and said he’ll be the league leader in rushing. I think Bowe is a heck of a receiver, but I can’t imagine the Chiefs throwing the...
Andy Reid on linebacker Akeem Jordan: ‘He doesn’t make a lot of mistakes’
Akeem Jordan was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2007 out of James Madison University.
He spent six years with the Eagles under Andy Reid and when Reid moved on to Kansas City, Jordan was one of his first transactions.
Jordan agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in April reuniting with Reid.
He has the first crack at...
Chiefs' Albert: 'I wanted to be here the whole time'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The first thing Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith did when he saw left tackle Branden Albert arrive at the team's training facility?
Smith rushed over to greet and welcome him.
"You bet I did," Smith said with a huge smile. "Your left tackle is your best friend. You bet I welcomed him. It's great to have him here."
That Albert arrived...

Tyler Bray Has ‘Excellent Chance’ of Making Chiefs’ Final Roster
Kansas City Chiefs undrafted rookie quarterback Tyler Bray has an “excellent chance” of making the team’s final 53-man roster, according to Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star. The 6-6, 215-pound signal-caller appeared in 28 games (24 starts) at the University of Tennessee, completing 540 passes on 922 attempts (58.6 pct.) for 7,444 yards with 69 touchdowns and 28 interceptions...
Alex Smith will never lead the Chiefs to a Super Bowl
Haven’t we seen this before? The Kansas City Chiefs were overly impressed with Matt Cassel over his performance for one season, and now they are reliving the past.
The deal for Alex Smith will be an epic failure because it will not lead to a Super Bowl winning team for the Chiefs.
While Alex Smith is not a Super Bowl quarterback, he is a very capable system quarterback. Smith...
