There's one thing the Kansas City Chiefs proved in training camp and the pre-season leading into the 2010 season—no team spent more time practicing in full pads with as much full-speed physical contact in the workouts than Todd Haley's team.

His goal was to come out of the pre-season with a physically tough team, one that could run the ball on offense and stop the run on defense. That's why the Chiefs wore shoulder pads in 31 days of the preparation, sometimes twice a day.

"The reason you're in pads for 31 days is to be a physical football team and I have seen that come out," said Haley. "I think that's a good sign for our team and a good sign of the direction we're going."
