Arrowhead Pride • • sports
Key Points:
- Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid criticized the offense for 12 penalties, mainly holding and illegal procedure calls, emphasizing the need for better discipline and proper technique during practice.
- Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and receivers coach Chad O’Shea focused on details and effort, pushing players like wide receiver Rashee Rice to finish plays and perfect routes during Monday’s high-intensity practice.
- The Chiefs are cross-training offensive linemen, with Jaylon Moore gaining reps at right guard and rookie Kahlil Benson working at right tackle, as the team adjusts to the absence of starting guard Trey Smith.
- Rookie running back Emmett Johnson has moved ahead of Brashard Smith as the second back in practice drills, showing good vision and effort but needing to refine footwork and patience in running angles.
- Defensive end Ashton Gillotte returned to full practice, taking on the SAM linebacker role in the base defense, while defensive end R Mason Thomas appears to be earning more first-team snaps over Felix Anudike-Uzomah.
