Around The Web: New Playbook, Reeves On Vick, Philly Defense

When Todd Haley first relieved Chan Gailey of his offensive coordinator duties, he said there wouldn’t be any drastic changes.  But as Kent Babb reports, the Chiefs did in fact junk the entire offensive playbook.

Around The Web: Wild Eagle, Gonzalez Returns For A Night, Reid Optimistic

When the Kansas City Chiefs travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, they should see plenty of the Wildcat offense if last week’s game against New Orleans is any indication.
