2023 Chiefs Training Camp / Preseason Megathread

[Dante84]

The back to back journey begins now.

7/23: Toney dinged up, young receivers look decent, Prince flashes, Justin Reid added a bunch of muscle
7/24: Toney to likely miss the preseason, Rice shined, Prince shined, Skyy shined, Tranquil to play all LB spots, Nazeeh Johnson had 3 PBU’s
7/25: Toney had meniscus surgery; Nazeeh Johnson got looks with 1’s, pushing Josh Williams to 2’s and then Williams shined with a pick; Rookie Nic Jones picked off Mahomes, McDuffie is shining - young corners are balling; Buechele playing well; Butker 8/9 on FG’s.
7/26: Receivers are playing really well; Justyn Ross had a 1-handed grab; Rashee Rice "looks the part;" (Nate Taylor); Bolton had an illness; Fortson having some focus drops; Nazeeh Johnson still with the 1's; James & Remigio are returners; John Ross retired - young bucks lookin' too good.

I know it's obvious to most, but based on how they've looked so far this offseason if we put Justyn Ross and/or Nazeeh Johnson on the PS we might as well kiss them goodbye because there's no way other teams wouldn't poach them. That's a good problem to have.

I heard all last season how they really liked Nazeeh Johnson. Guess they weren't just blowing smoke. Veach is the DB Finder. Amazing how well he and his scouting staff evaluate DBs.

Nazeeh Johnson was always making the team...Nic Jones is the one fighting for a spot.

It's early, but I have to say, this is the best I've ever felt about a Chiefs team after the first week of training camp.

The only concerns I have about this team are 1) DT absent Chris Jones. 2) What if our LT fails.

That's it.

So, perhaps we ship CEH and something for a veteran DT to back up Jones, and let's keep our fingers crossed that Donovan Smith works out well.

Lets just wait til the pads come on guys. That'll tell the story.

Smiths a year removed from the elbow, my money says this 2023 line will be the overall best we've had with Mahomes

If Smith can't cut it, our plan B was actually plan A for a week or two there.

If we're down to plan C I'll start worrying.

If they're all healthy, this should be true.

Man. Can you imagine healthy Fisher and Schwartz with Thuney/Creed/Trey?

We might've never punted.

Unless he's on the practice squad, and then f*** that bum obviously.

He's not gonna be on the PS though, because he's going to be a baller.

He's going to be a special teams baller and that's good enough for me.

Yeah, but by what percentage will his contract increase if he balls out?
