Chiefs Update

If you're wondering why these 'Chiefs Updates' exist, it's because it's a slow news time for the Chiefs and all there really is is a mix of smaller stories that are interesting but not meant for an entire post by itself. Plus, I'm waiting for the Chiefs to hire an offensive coordinator so I can have something to talk about.

Speaking of offensive coordinators, the Kansas City Star did an article on the importance of Todd Haley's decision process in these upcoming weeks during his search for a new offensive coordinator.

And according to Bill Williamson of ESPN, a big-name offensive coordinator may not be all that important for the development of Matt Cassel because the Chiefs still have offensive quality control coach Nick Sirianni.

Just how big of an impact did the Chiefs' rookie class have on the team? Josh Looney of kcchiefs.com looks at our rookie class and compares it to other classes from the NFL this season.

After missing his rookie season with a head/neck injury suffered in preseason, 2010 4th round pick Cameron Sheffield is 100% again and looking to return next season from his scary injury. Let's hope he can demonstrate the same kind of effectiveness next season that the rest of his rookie teammates demonstrated this season.

Also, the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America  announced on Tuesday their all-NFL teams and all-rookie teams. Jamaal Charles was named to the all-NFL team as the second running back, and Eric Berry was named as the starting safety on the all-rookie team. Scott Pioli was named their NFL Executive of the Year (Pioli's third time receiving this honor).
