Kansas City Chiefs May Be in Control

The Chiefs acquired new life at middle linebacker when they signed Napoleon Harris during the off season. He was seen as more mobile at 255 than his predecessor Kawika Mitchell who has left the team in free agency. This guy Harris was a standout on the roster at Oakland before moving to Minnesota and the Vikings the last two years. He seems to not mind the handle "control freak"- he feels has lived up to it over his career.

“It’s not like I boss people around. I just don’t want to have the clamps put on me to where I can’t do something I’m accustomed to doing. That way I can’t control my own destiny.” Translation: "You are supposed to be over there teammate- don't make me have to cover for your ass, I got a job to do!"

He seems to be adjusting well to KC despite the uproar over Trent Green and his public displays during OTA week. Napoleon likes what he sees. “This is one of the more athletic groups I’ve played with,” said Harris, who has 333 career tackles and six career sacks. “Hopefully that will translate into some wins."

Speaking of his latest defense, to that Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said “They move around very well... “and our defensive line is very athletic all of a sudden, too. We’ve got some speed over there. We’re trying to do some things to create competition, to maybe push some guys. That’s what you want to do on your football team: You want to make guys compete within your team.

Meanwhile Trent Green just wants to play in Miami, he hopes all this player movement and pushing around results in a ticket to Florida real soon. Everyone pray, this all-pro veteran quarterback deserves a whole lot more respect.
