    Default Weis as primary play caller

    I see this as one more positive heading into the new season.

    While he has no where near the weapons he did in NE and I dont look for complete turn around yet, I can see Cassel being able to go to Charlie on the sideline and get help making in game adjustments.

    To me it seemed like that was one of the biggest problems last year with Haley calling plays and everything else he took on. It should be interesting to see how much freedom coach Haley gives Weis.

    Weis is the MAIN reason that I am so looking forward to the season. He may not have been great at Noter Dame but he knew how to put points on the board. That is going to be a great thing for this team. I can't wait for the season to get here. 17 days till first preseason game.

    Troy Brown was a pro bowl wide out. Deion Branch prior to his injury.

    he is the only one who first came to mind when i thought of it to. on the offensive side.wich should give us kc fans a big reason to be optimistic about the years to come.the fact is new england did not win there championships with a bunch of pro bowl players.and once weiss and crennel left they quit winning super bowls.they did have a good o-line though.but do not under estimate the power of good coaches and good schemes in the nfl it is half the battle

    The only reason I have lightened up on Haley is because of his hiring of Wies and Crennell. He should never have been calling the plays last year, but he did. A first time head coach in the league should not be the guy calling plays.

    I hope that it was a fluke and that he turns it around this year. I think he has three years to make it to the playoffs at this point or he will be out on his ear.


    Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!

    I agree about the first time coach takeing on to much. But I think in the long run it didn't really matter. We were not going to be a good team in anyway last season no matter who was calling the plays.

    I was really easy on Haley last season because of the fact he walked into a mess that was made of CP on H.E. This year I EXPECT to see a MUCH better team on the field. As long as this team takes a big step forward this season I will stay on the Haley bandwagon.

    He did it out of necessity last year..
    The differences between the Gailey (I really liked him though, very creative..) and the Haley (Erhardt-Perkins) offensive systems were so big that it would have been counter-productive in the long run.

    This is what I think happened anyway..
    I really don't think with Pioli and Haley at the helm, any major decisions will be made without being carefully thought through first.

    It may have worked out better for Haley to call plays last year. If he wanted to see what someone was made of, call a play and put him on the spot. Then he would know if he was a keeper..........or a Bronco
