"Thump and Heavy Trembling!"

Thats how contributor "formerDB" analyzed the action recent training camp action. His article is posted on "The Chiefs Coalition" --http://www.chiefscoalition.com-- it is my latest discovery for websites regarding the Kansas City Chiefs. Their writer penned an intruiging tale for all of us, who couldnt be there. Duh!(see Friday entry!)

In 11-on-11, "formerDB" wrote how when Derrick Johnson on a blitz, "Wanna know what happened? Let's just put it this way. That thump and heavy trembling you felt on the ground last night was Jason Dunn falling hard on his ass after D.J. crashed into his chest during the blitz. D.J. didn't even think about going around the block, he went right through Dunn, creating a new Interstate 89 (Dunn's number). The thump was Dunn hitting the ground. The tremble was his helmet rolling on the grass."

Please visit that site. He also describes another matchup later involving Will Svitek against DT Ryan Sims. During one running play through the middle, yes, Svitek did win the leverage battle and took Sims back outta the hole but other defenders stopped the play for little to no gain filling the hole again in the flash of a moment.

Coach Herm Edwards reports, after Kyle Turley displayed a fine performance,"I think Kyle Turley keeps getting better and better every time he plays," Edwards said. "He's a good acquisition for us." OT Kyle Turley’s two-year absence from the game could have left him a bit rusty, it wouldn’t be noticed during the 11-on-11 drill with Minnesota. Turley was back to his old self, he took on the Vikings and their former 2005 first-round draft pick DE Erasmus James from the first play. Turley displayed solid pass protection all night and Mister James aint no sponge-bob!

I guess the Saturday intersquad practice too, was intense. Tamba Hali is developing an array of techniques and displaying them to teammates such as Kevin Sampson. It is reported in one instance that Hali explodes off the line, coming in low, very low, that he has an ability once he establishes leverage to come up hard under the pads in an effort to gain control and deposit his potential foe in the first available heap! Sampson apparently did try to regain balance when Hali slapped him with a right hand and opened a direct alley to the quarterback. Amazing? Dramatic? It all does get the mind pondering the possibilities of this club this fall.
