It's the right time for me to leave. They don't need me here next year, everybody asking, 'Is he going to be here next year?' I just wish I was 10 years younger.
guy leave time year
It's the right time for me to go. It's the right time for me to leave the Chiefs. They don't want a guy where every year they say 'Is he going to be here?' It's just not fair.

build cut cutting everybody few good job line offense offensive problem reaching running scheme shove underneath zone
The big problem with them is their offensive line and their zone scheme. They do an awfully good job with it. Everybody has a few zone scheme running plays. We do. But they build their offense on that. They get you stretched, reaching out, and then they shove you out and cut right back underneath you. They do a good job of cutting the linebackers off.
division game hard home single within
It's hard to single out one game as more important especially within the division, ... This is an important game for us because it's a home game - it's a division game.
