Chiefs defend tough, physical play amid critics
Schottenheimer defended the Chiefs’ hard hitting style on Tuesday, insisting they play cleanly and not out of bounds. He noted wide receivers practice down field blocking and highlighted Pro Bowl cornerbacks Dale Carter and James Hasty as top at disrupting receivers at the line of scrimmage. He said complaints come mainly from opposing receivers and defensive backs, as the team uses bump and run coverage with contact on every play.

KU Defs Back This Week for Alabam a-Birmingham Road Trip
Kansas coach Terry Allen expects defensive backs Chad Coellner and Bilal Cook to return for the 6 p.m. game at Legion Field against UAB. Coellner heals from a separated shoulder and broken hand, while Cook has been slowed by a strained quad and hasn’t played this season. Also slated to play are receiver Eric Patterson and tight end Brian Gray, offsetting injuries, with freshman Andrew LeClair out two games and defensive end Dion Johnson sidelined indefinitely. The Jayhawks posted 507 offensive yards in a 63-21 win over Illinois State as quarterback Zac Wegner and Jay Alexander supplied efficient passing. Alexander’s first action since 1995. Kansas also notes TV for Oct 3 matchups, including Texas A&M game at 11:30 a.m. and regional Fox Sports Net broadcasts. Kareem Carter, academically eligible late last week, contributed six tackles in his debut.
