Chiefs Pre-Season Note - 2007

I could begin this post with "Chiefs at Browns," but as I've shared before the exhibition games do not interest me in the least. I may peek in if one is on television just to behold the red and gold zipping by, and tonight while doing some web surfing I took a glance at tonight's contest. Just wanted to see what was going on with our quarterbacks.

I confess I haven't much to say here, because as you know I pay no attention at all to what happens outside of gametime. In the past I've just been so obsessively consumed with who we drafted, signed, traded for, or tried to get out of jail that I deliberately go out of my way to avoid knowing any of it. I've found quite a bit of wonderfully surprising peace in that.

Sometimes, however, a friend or acquaintance who knows of my Chiefs fandom will mention something about our boys and I can't refuse to be considerate and engage them. From what I've gathered the QB job is up for grabs to a rookie (for all intents and purposes Croyle is a rookie), a journeyman, and a Canadian football transfer. Hum. This could sound quite unpromising, but I will always have great hope in the possibility that maybe Croyle could someday turn into a Joe Montana or Tom Brady. Just gotta let things play themselves out.

What I really wonder about is whether our offensive line will be servicable. That's really the main question. Will the defense carry the team this year? What a switch for a Chiefs team if it did. Does this feel a bit like the early 90's? Only thing, again...

In the early 90's we had a terrific O-line.
