But the sunny skies yesterday matched the optimism after the first of 14 days of organized workouts in Saunders' scheme. "I'm excited," said Chris Cooley, who has moved from H-back to tight end. "We're moving around even more than we did last year. We're going to try to stretch the field more, get more guys downfield, get huge chunks [of yardage] more than we have in the past."

Mark Brunell settled between that view and Cooley's about the change from Gibbs' power-based approach to Saunders' multi-faceted system which made Kansas City the NFL's most potent offense during the past five seasons. "We might have a few more pass plays, but I don't expect it to be night and day," Brunell said. ... This situation certainly bears watching as the players continue to adjust to the changes this summer.
