Q: What has been the biggest change in the offense from last year?
CROYLE: "Nothing we did last year we do this year. We have the checks now and we just kind of line up and go. It’s not about trying to trick people with motions; it’s about getting in better plays . It’s really no comparison."

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano today denied a media report that quarterback John Beck has been cut.
A sports Web site, profootballtalk.com , carried the story today based on what it called an "unconfirmed tip."
But Beck participated in this morning's practice and will be on the field later this afternoon, Sparano said.
"There's a lot of rumors in this business. John will be at practice today," Sparano said in his... Read Full Story

I donʼt understand the logic behind all the Brodie haters out there. Brodie really has not played enough for anyone to say he will or wonʼt make it in the NFL. Yet in the sports media markets across the country it is generally assumed Croyle will struggle. The Chiefs may struggle in 08 but I see Croyle putting it together this season. Through out his career he has won every where he has been. Coming out of high school he was the second highest recruited quarterback in the nation despite... Read Full Story

P.S to KCChiefs.com - In your training camp wrap ups, how about wrapping up the entire day of practice instead of just the morning? I know I can't get enough coverage of camp!
Gunther Cunningham spent yesterday morning and afternoon with his linebackers, since he took over the coaching of them after the '07 season. The linebackers definitely seem like the position of the... Read Full Story
In the meantime, Thigpen has vaulted over Damon Huard and is the No. 2 quarterback. With a strong showing in the preseason, Thigpen could play himself into consideration as Croyle’s successor if he falters this season or suffers a long-term injury.

I know the Chiefs are committed to Brodie Croyle. I know the Chiefs' offense under Chad Gailey is not the same scheme Pennington ran for Herm Edwards in New York.
And I know Pennington has been injury prone. Playing behind a shaky line in Kansas City is an invitation to the disabled list.
BUT ... Croyle is just as injury prone, if not more so. And when he goes down, I'll take my chances with Pennington over Tyler Thigpen or Damon Huard.

We're going to have a ton of visitors to the site today because of this Tony Gonzalez story so I just wanted to throw a short bit out there about Damon Huard so we don't bump the TG story too far down the middle column.
Now, Damon Huard appears to be a player that doesn't fit the mold of what Herm Edwards is trying to do. He's a veteran backup quarterback (and a nicely paid one at that) who will conceivably be out of the NFL in a couple of years. There are three young, green QBs... Read Full Story
The Kansas City Star reported that Chiefs and TE Tony Gonzalez are ready for QB Brodie Croyle to “have a good year.” Croyle has been participating in offseason workouts to gain chemistry with the team, especially the 12 year veteran, Gonzalez. “This is our third year together,” Croyle said about playing with Tony Gonzalez, “We still have to keep working on chemistry. That’s critical. That’s why I’m here.”
So far its paid off, “I think he’s looking great,” Gonzalez said on Croyle. “And I... Read Full Story
From yesterday's Q&A; on the mothership .
Branden Albert's ankle sounds like it's going to be okay and that Albert is almost guaranteed to be our starting left tackle this year.
"Still sore. If we had to play he could play. There are certain guys who probably could play if we had a game but we’re going to be careful now. He’s shown us enough that he can play tackle for us."
After today's practice in St. Joe, MO, the team will be "off" until late July. The rookies will stick around for... Read Full Story
