Training Camp Recap: Wednesday, 8/13 PM Practice
Rivers Fall… the end is getting near. Although the Chiefs will practice today, their workout yesterday afternoon was their last practice of training camp with full shoulder pads and contact but the Chiefs players were still up for the workout:
- They turned in a very spirited session. Although the contact is supposed to be minimal, these guys are going so fast right now it’s hard for them to turn down the tempo. At one point in the practice, RB Larry Johnson got upset with DT Tank Tyler for a little extra contact and let him know about it. Tyler just looked at him and smiled. RB Jamaal Charles didn’t like being roughed up on one play, and he ended up throwing the ball at a Chiefs defender. [Bob Gretz]
I hope Charles doesn’t do that in a game because if he does that is a 15-yard penalty.
Gretz also talked about some of the better plays in practice.
- Some other plays to remember: Croyle hit TE Tony Gonzalez on a bootleg where he threw a pretty pass on the run … TE J.P. Foschi, who is fighting for a roster spot, completely blew a play where the pass was thrown deep to him by QB Damon Huard, but he never looked for the ball and it fell incomplete … S Bernard Pollard had a big hit on RB Kolby Smith in space … Huard hit WR Dewayne Bowe on a pretty double move down the right sideline for a touchdown over rookie CB Maurice Leggett, who didn’t get deep help from Tyron Brackenridge … Hustling DE Tamba Hali made a tackle on a screen pass to the other side of the field, fighting through numerous attempted blocks. [Bob Gretz]
A Glenn Dorsey update:
- DT Glenn Dorsey got his regular ration of 10 to 12 plays. Head coach Herm Edwards said the Chiefs would decide on Saturday whether the No. 1 pick would play against Arizona at Arrowhead Stadium. [Bob Gretz]
Yesterday’s plays of the day from kcchiefs.com:
- Plays of the Day: WR Dwayne Bowe showed some separation late in practice with a beautiful out-and-up route that fooled two defenders and ended in a touchdown. QB Brodie Croyle helped matters with a pump fake on the “out” then threw a perfect touch pass down the right sidelines into Bowe’s waiting hands.
During “Hammer Time” Croyle rolled to his right on a bootleg, scanned the defense and threw a bullet to WR Maurice Price. Price caught the ball on the line, then lunged toward the field to stay in-bounds and kill clock. He was successful and was rewarded with a tap on the back of the helmet from Croyle.
