‘Coaching: B-minus — Losman provided the spark, but that was just dumb luck for Mike Mularkey and his staff, who only turned to their former starter after Holcomb was injured.’

‘Offensive lineman Mike Williams is headed for the bench after his miserable debut at guard on Sunday. Williams, the fourth overall pick in the 2002 draft who lost his starting right tackle job to Jason Peters, lasted just four series against the Chiefs at left guard. Those four series ended with a tipped pass, a botched flea-flicker, a sack on fourth down, and a sack/lost fumble when quarterback Kelly Holcomb suffered a concussion.’

‘Holcomb suffered a concussion in the second quarter and was still suffering from headaches on Monday. According to Mularkey, Holcomb’s health and ability to practice this week will play a role in his decision on the starting QB. Mularkey also announced that Troy Vincent will undergo an MRI on his shoulder.’

‘"We had a lot of young players step in and play well for us," coach Mike Mularkey said Monday. "I think it’s a great confidence builder for their play, and I know it’s a confidence builder for a coaching staff that you’ve got guys like that able to step in in big games like that and perform."’

‘Sam Adams has expressed his displeasure with the team’s defensive schemes. How do you and the coaches address this problem to get everyone on the same page and avoid possible dissension?’
