Even with Long on PUP, that means they had him with the 1s over LDT, Wylie, Blythe, and Allegretti, who have all been at least passable Gs and are vets at this point.

Jakuvious Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I am trying hard to temper my reactions already, because immediately it feels like there's been so much hype around every player I would want to hear good things about. Smith, Gay, Hardman, Gray, Powell. Just need some positive news around Deandre Baker and Nick Bolton and everything will just feel crazy optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolmesPriest Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I think Bolton gonna be the man this year, hopefully he can hit some people good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Is there a negative thing to say about any of our guys😂. That said, I do think Trey brings an attitude our OL has been missing for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That' the only thing I read into it. The Remmers/Niang duel is my primary interest. For now Niang is taking snaps at second team LT, presumably to play swing OT if needed. Remmers is a solid RT, but not LT. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-takeaways-day-1/ 16 hours ago, chiefs82 said: Also, everyone was raving about #50, a year under his belt, looks fast and explosive. Could be the best LB group we’ve had in a while I just wish that was a harder standard. The article cited above has some comments on Gay.

onejayhawk Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Day 2 Absent and limited included Travis Kelce and Anthony Hitchens. The others were carry overs from Day #1. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/29/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-injury-absence-updates-day-2-anthony-hitchens-travis-kelce/ Some takeaway points. This was about the rookies. Noah Gray impressed, Bolton did not, Creed Humphrey was off, Antonio Callaway is a name to remember.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-takeaways-day-2/ The Chiefs signed Joe Thuney to be a veteran presence and he is doing that. He also likes working with Orlando Brown.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/29/kansas-city-chiefs-joe-thuney-praises-teammates-trey-smith-creed-humphrey-orlando-brown-jr/ Byron Pringle is going after the KR job. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/7/30/22600922/byron-pringle-lost-seven-pounds-this-offseason-eager-to-return-kickoffs J Edited July 30, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Day 3 Kelce, Winchester and Hitchens returned to practice. No one new is out, but Hitchens only did individual drills. Update: LS Drew Scott waived.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/30/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-injury-absence-updates-day-3-travis-kelce-james-winchester/ Some quick hits from day #3. The defense is looking good, Thornhill looks back to normal, Niang is getting some RT work with the 1st unit after playing LT with the second unit, Kemp is making his case for a WR slot, Jerick McKinnon is looking good at RB3. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-takeaways-day-3/ Here is a vote for a defensive breakout. Three reasons--continuity, veteran presence, breakout youth.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/7/30/22598846/why-the-chiefs-defense-is-primed-for-a-big-season-in-2021-spagnuolo-reid-mahomes Mahomes made the Madden 99 club again.

onejayhawk Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) The chiefs have retooled the OL. They also need to replace Sammy Watkins. Both of these are important elements of a retuning of the offense. Other key elements are Mecole hardman and Clyde Edwards-Hellaire.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/30/kansas-city-chiefs-clyde-edwards-helaire/https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/7/30/22602391/chiefs-training-camp-notebook-more-mature-mecole-hardman-is-making-the-case Some months ago, Mahomes made a comment about winning all the games. While it was not exactly a prediction of 20-0, Mahomes is also not backing down on it.https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/patrick-mahomes-wont-back-down-from-talk-of-perfect-season-how-comments-have-rallied-chiefs-in-training-camp/ Mahomes has been impressed with a couple of veteran FA signings, Jerick McKinnon and Antonio Callaway.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/31/kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-praises-jerick-mckinnon-antonio-callaway/ This is interesting in the vein of morale building. Mahomes has an individualized handshake with each of his OL. Notice how it does not impede the flow of conversation. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/31/kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-offensive-linemen-secret-handshakes-training-camp/ Edited July 31, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Quick hits from Friday. Remmers ws out with back spasms, so Niang played RT, Jody Fortson is making waves at TE, the OL tried some counter action, Gay and Bolton impressed with two veterans out.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-takeaways-day-4/ The Chiefs rebuilt the OL this offseason. How much will that affect the offensive design? It could be quite a lot. Orlando Brown is looking really good. On the right side, Smith and Niang both excel as run blockers. The idea is that the Chiefs may move away from a mostly zone concept to one with more power/trap orientation. We know Mahomes can handle the ball. Why not design some more play-action into the offense?https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2021/07/31/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-orlando-brown-offensive-line/ One on Clyde. He is looking to upgrade his integration with the passing game.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/7/29/22600411/clyde-edwards-helaire-knew-he-would-be-pinpointed-in-training-camp Edited August 1, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Quick hits for Monday. The defense played well. Darius Harris has some 1st team reps, but Gay and Bolton both had INTs. Noah Gray looked like a rookie for the first time.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp-takeaways-day-5/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefer Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Maybe Kemp is the guy now that Watkins is gone? Always knew he was capable, and his connection with Mahomes is real so far through camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
