Croyle Quickly Adjusting To New Offense
Posted by Jay Miles  May 22, 2008
The Kansas City Star Reports:
The Chiefs have invested plenty in Croyle’s future and coach Herm Edwards’ belief that Croyle can be a
reliable starter. Kansas City didn’t draft a quarterback last month, and they have been idle in trying to sign a
proven passer.

The Chiefs are, it appears, Croyle’s team. For now, anyway.

“He’s up, and it’s his turn to show that he can be a starting quarterback in the National Football League, and
not only that but to win games,” Edwards said. “I think he knows that he’s been waiting for his opportunity.”

The Chiefs also have simplified the offense for Croyle, and Edwards said Croyle has been quick to grasp
new coordinator Chan Gailey’s system.

Edwards said he was encouraged Monday by Croyle’s precision and his ability to place the ball in tight
spots. Still, Edwards said he reminded Croyle that he is passing in seven-on-seven drills, without a pass
rush. But the coach said he likes what he has seen of Croyle’s confidence.

“He’s got a pretty good mind-set right now,” Edwards said.
Chiefs will go easy on Johnson in offseason practices
Posted by D.A. Louis  May 19, 2008
Any doubt about Larry Johnson’s value to the Chiefs disappeared last year when they lost all eight games
after his season ended prematurely because of a broken foot. That’s why the Chiefs intend to go easy on
Johnson when offseason practice begins today. The Chiefs have 15 practice sessions planned over the
next four weeks, including their June 6-8 minicamp.

“We’ll bring him along slowly,” coach Herm Edwards said. “We’re not going to beat him up. We’re not going
to rush him a whole lot. We want to see where he’s at.

“He’s been running straight and he’s been doing all of that for a long time, but as far as cutting and football
things like that, we want to limit him some.”
