Kansas City Chiefs - Q&A with GUNTHER CUNNINGHAM - 8/3

excerpt question:

Q: What about CBs Ty Law and Patrick Surtain. They came in great shape. What have you seen out of them?

CUNNINGHAM: “The only thing that I can say is that Ty Law got on the airplane and I didn’t recognize him. He has lost a lot of weight and he told me that during the end of the OTAs that he was going to St. Louis to a private workout guy. I said, ‘Ty, all of the years that you’ve been in the league you deserve to do that.’ He came in and he’s in the best shape that he’s been in a long time. I think the foot injury, we tried to get him the first time around in UFA (unrestricted free agency) and he looked like a linebacker. Then after a year with the N.Y. Jets his foot was still giving him a problem. As far as Pat is concerned, he’s been as consistent as anyone I’ve been around at the age he is. He’s out there every day. You see some of the vets getting rest, but those guys are out there every day and they’re working. I think they’re really enthusiastic about the two young safeties working with them and I see a good attitude in the back end with the coach who is after them every second in David Gibbs. It’s going to be interesting to see how the year plays out.”
