Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen was interviewed by the Kansas City Star and said that he wants to push Matt Cassel. Thigpen said that he wants "to get out there and compete each and every day. I'm gonna make myself a better quarterback, because if I make myself better that's going to push Matt [Cassel] and the other guys." Thigpen was then asked if he was frustrated by the fact that he's behind Cassel on the depth chart. "It's not frustrating. You have to take it with a grain of salt, I mean, it's a business and you've got to understand how it works," he added. "Right now, I'm sitting behind Matt. I'm going to push him to make him better, because when I make him better that's going to make this team better."
