Kansas City Chiefs 2010 Training Camp Preview

Football Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) -

REPORT DATE: July 29th

SITE: Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, MO

CAMP OBJECTIVES: With a pair of esteemed new coordinators in Charlie Weis (offense) and Romeo Crennel (defense) now in the fold, Chiefs supporters are expecting to witness some signs of life from this franchise during the dog days of summer. One of the pivotal competitions is at running back, where Jamaal Charles comes off a breakout year but the team signed Thomas Jones and spent a second-round pick on Dexter McCluster (Ole Miss). Something has to give there. The team also needs to locate some receivers beyond Dwayne Bowe and Chris Chambers. On defense, a three-man front that was woeful last season despite possessing two former top-five picks (Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey) must make some progress in August. Journeyman Shaun Smith could be the next nose tackle, but will have to beat out incumbent Tank Tyler. In the secondary, fans will get their first meaningful glimpse of Eric Berry (once he signs), but where he plays could be impacted by when the disgruntled Jarrad Page signs his tender. The battle for return duties could be interesting, as rookies McCluster and Javier Arenas (Alabama) were both productive in that realm as collegians.

PRESEASON SCHEDULE:

Aug 13 - at Atlanta, 8:00 PM Aug 21 - at Tampa Bay, 7:30 PM Aug 27 - vs. Philadelphia, 8:00 PM Sep 2 - vs. Green Bay, 8:00 PM

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
