11 HRS AGO - Photo by Jorge Lemus/NurPhoto via Getty Images Brendan Daly and Matt House would love to be on the field with their players, but are finding positives in the virtual program. There isn’t a football coach in the world that isn’t itching to get back onto the football field with their players. If you went out to watch the Kansas City Chiefs at training camp last offseason, defensive line coach Brendan Daly probably caught your eye with his loud coaching personality and hands-on style. On Thursday, you could feel his pain about not being out on the turf with his players. “I’m missing that element of things, for sure,” he told reporters. The second-year Chiefs coach may not be used to an offseason like this — but he is used to coming off Super Bowl victories. This will be Daly’s fourth season as a member of the defending champions’ coaching staff. There’s a reason he’s had such a successful career: he embraces these sort of obstacles and gets better from it. “There’s been some Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports Speaking to Rich Eisen on Thursday, the Chiefs head coach related a couple of Super Bowl anecdotes we hadn’t yet heard. On Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid appeared on “The Rich Eisen Show,” relating a couple of previously unknown anecdotes about the team’s 31-21 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. First, he revealed that Patrick Mahomes question to offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy — “Do we have time to run Wasp?” — wasn’t exactly as off-the-cuff as has been previously thought. “It’s funny, because we’d been talking about that [for] the few series before that — really all the second half.” Reid recalled. “It was, ‘Listen, if we get an opportunity where we felt protection was good enough’ — you heard Patrick actually say, ‘Do we have enough time to throw the thing?’ — and so we were kind of working in that realm. We had talked about it — we had just talked about it before we went on the field — and so between Eric, Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images A perfect storm could be brewing — one that could finally end the era of fixed-amount NFL contracts. Ever since Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished his third season under contract to the team — which officially made him eligible to have his rookie contract extended — one question has been on the mind of NFL observers. But the question wasn’t whether or not Mahomes would become the highest-paid player in NFL history. After being named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in his first season as a starter — and after suggesting to offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy that the Chiefs call 2-3 Jet Chip Wasp on a third-and-15 in Super Bowl LIV, which directly led to him being named Super Bowl MVP in his second, that hasn’t really been in doubt. Instead, the question has become, “How much will Patrick Mahomes be paid when he becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history?” And thanks to a perfect storm of events, when his contract is Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images As the Chiefs continue to add to their superstar offense, is there a limit to its potential production? It’s no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs are an offensive team. Head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach have assembled an all-star lineup featuring arguably the league’s top quarterback, wide receiver and tight end — along with the league’s top right tackle — that has been terrorizing opposing defenses. Even before superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes joined the team, the offense was putting up points at a level Kansas City fans hadn’t seen in quite some time. And now they have spent a first-round draft pick on a running back. While some (like myself) have questioned the value of the move, it will very likely make the team even more efficient. That got me thinking: Is there a limit to just how good an offense can be? There’s only so much time — and so many drives — in a football game. And players are human. Even the best of Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images Making some new selections for the Chiefs in the 2018 NFL Draft based upon what we now know on episode 153 of the Arrowhead Pride Laboratory. Yes, it’s a little to early to re-draft the 2018 NFL Draft. However, after Monday’s episode of the Arrowhead Pride Laboratory, when we discussed how many selections from that draft class are at risk of not making the roster, we decided to do a re-draft of the class on the Wednesday episode. Here is what I went with — and yes, we are using the beautiful gift of hindsight. (Note: The only rule we had is that we could only take the players in between the Chiefs’ next pick. So for pick 46 we could only select the players taken between 46 and 75.) 46. WR D.J. Chark Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports Another strong candidate here is Fred Warner (who Matt and Craig both went with), but if I’m going to start banging the drum for the Chiefs taking offense early and often every year, I’m Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Michael Chang/Getty Images Chiefs headlines for Wednesday, May 27 The latest Five rookies who most need to succeed in Year 1: Heat on Chiefs LB | NFL 1. Willie Gay Jr., LB, Kansas City Chiefs As much as people touted all the things Kansas City’s first-round pick, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, will do in Andy Reid’s high-octane offense, Gay is the player who will determine how successful this Chiefs draft class really is. The first thing to know is that the former Mississippi State product can flat-out fly. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine (second-best time among linebackers) and he plays just as fast when he’s on the field. It’s no secret that Kansas City’s major weakness on defense was at linebacker, where it lacked athleticism and dynamic playmaking ability. Gay can offset those troubles because he’s known for his range, blitzing and coverage potential. The major concern about Gay, and it’s a big one, is character. He served Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images A new report from Yahoo! Sports claims the NFL could being taking steps to a return to facilities in the very near future. There is a new report making the rounds from Yahoo! Sports’ Charles Robinson, who speculates that NFL head coaches may be able to return to team facilities as early as next week. Sources: #NFL head coaches could return to team facilities as early as next week, with full-squad minicamps potentially on the docket for mid-to-late June.Story: https://t.co/6yLVEdkYSo pic.twitter.com/Y200OZjVWP— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) May 26, 2020 The Kansas City Chiefs reopened their practice facility under strict guidelines last week.

In a Zoom conference call last week, Reid expressed confidence that the Chiefs would handle whatever timetable the NFL decides but did acknowledge the sooner the Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Amy Kontras-USA TODAY Sports Our offseason series returns with some concepts that Steve Spagnuolo could implement in 2020. When Steve Spagnuolo was hired during the 2019 offseason, there were many questions about what he (and his all-star assistant coaches) would bring to the Kansas City Chiefs defense. So here at Arrowhead Pride, we penned the Summer of Spags series, detailing coverages, blitzes and tendencies we had seen on teams Spagnuolo had previously coached, creating a crash course for fans (and Ant Man) about what they could expect to see from the Chiefs defense in 2019. Fast-forward to the present. Spagnuolo has led a massive defensive turnaround, holding up his end of the deal opposite a high-octane offense. Throughout the year, the Chiefs defense grew by leaps and bounds, implementing many of the techniques and tendencies we had seen on tape. Most Chiefs fans trust that the Chiefs defense is in good hands and will continue to build on its stellar close to the 2019 Collapse
