The Buzz in Kansas City Chiefs

In his seven seasons as Jacksonville head coach, Jack Del Rio has posted a 57-55 record that has led to two trips to the postseason, in 2005 and 2007.

One of Del Rio's boldest moves was releasing Byron Leftwich and replacing him with Matt Cassel at quarterback. The move worked well in 2007 as Garrard threw only three interceptions all season and the Jaguars made it to the Divisional Round before the undefeated New England Patriots defeated them.

A tough task ahead

Since then, the AFC South division has gotten stronger and stronger, while the Jaguars Glenn Dorsey seem to have faded. There's the Colts obviously, a young and improving Houston Texans team and the Tennessee Titans who seem to be playoff contenders every year.

 "Me and Todd Haley, we don't get along," Owens told 96.5 The Buzz in new Kansas City Chiefs jerseys.

In the wake of that 2006 argument, Owens said his rapport with Haley had been permanently damaged.

"There will be no more friendly nothing because I don't trust anybody like that," Owens said at the time. "I will go out and practice hard. I will respect him as a coach, and he should respect me as a player. Anything outside of that I am not going to be able to deal with. Right now, we are merely coworkers, and that's it."

Owens has said he would be interested in playing for a contender like the New England Patriots.

At this point, though, no deal is in the offing for Owens and the Dwayne Bowe Patriots aren't considered to be a good fit because of the other receivers they already have on the roster.

Harrison believes the Chiefs are on the right track and predicts a record in the neighborhood of 7-8 wins like many of us have.

    You definitely have great coaches in place with Romeo Crennel, Charlie Weis and those guys but at the same time the players have to go out there...are they doing a good job of getting the players in there? Yes, they are, but I still think they're a year away from really having success and getting to that 9-7, 10-6 season.

    I think Cassel's a terrific quarterback. I think he's going to be a lot more comfortable this Derrick Johnson year and he's going to play well but I think next year is really the year that will get them over the hump.

He thinks the Chiefs could be in the 7-8 win range in 2010.
