Pioli took one look at a 2-14 team and thought, "I won't kill them all right away"

they should be thankful they are still alive

losers don't deserve shit

I think Pioli is going to get to know all of the players eventually. I'm sure the intro's will be done at the next team gathering. I'm sure it would be much easier to talk to players all together than it is to give them all a ring on the telephone.

I know there are a lot of huge things going on, Just the one marquie player could get a hello thats all...
Doesn't Peyton workout in Indy? Would seem that if Tony didn't spend all of his time on the offseason away from Arrowhead he'd probably have time to talk to his new boss. Same with any other player.Pioli doesn't pander to individual players like CeePee did. He'll be trying to build a team. Besides Holy Pioli doesn't bow to Tony G. Come on Tony kiss the ring!

You must learn to let him go. LJ and Rat = No Go / Goodbye.


Accept, and move on.

oddly enough... you can't really tell how good a football player is by talking to them... usually, you want to see them play football either live or on tape.

Also, I think Scott knows what type of player TG is...

Check his ypc and notice him getting caught from behind. That didn't used to happen.

Did they take the time out of their off season activities
to even show up to Pioli's press conference
I sure don't recall any players there

True also.

I think this team needs a nice dose of give a Sh-t.

Pioli won't have to waste time dealing with prima donnas or overpaid crybabies because a strong locker room environment, created by the head coach and overseen by a few veteran leaders among the players, will nip that shit in the bud.
Rose colored glasses.

Based on accounts in previous articles about Pioli, he's not the kind of guy who separates himself from the players, either. I read somewhere about how he likes to workout with them, etc. As he is a former player, that doesn't surprise me. But this does. I would have expected him to reach out to a few key veterans, at least. Hmmm. I mean Gonzo and Waters, I guess.

So ... what does it mean? I think Pioli is pissed off. I think he's seen enough tape in sufficient detail to go, "Mama Mia! These-a guys-a are a bunch-a tools-a." Plus, after learning about LJ's and Gonzos mid-season, locker room antics, he's using the time to find trade partners instead of schmoozing.

Good point.
Seems like when I ask a question there is always plenty of opposition and very little validation with a different perspective so, thanks!

Well, I'm talking about the Herm thing mostly. I think he took his time and got all the info he could. The rest of it we will hopefully know soon.

I have a feeling he's more interested in laying the ground work to be able to give Tony and everyone else a big ring... for their finger... than he is worrying about doing something the new coach will be the person to do when he gets here. As big a star as Tony is I doubt Pioli is too concerned with stroking him considering his other, more immediate needs.

On ChiefsPlanet? You must be thinking of another board.

:D


FTR even though I'm not upset by Pioli and Gonzo not talking yet, I don't think it would be a bad idea.
