The Kansas City Chiefs are in a special spot right now at training camp. they are the back-to-back Super Bowl champions, trying to be the first team ever to win three in a row, but their offense was poor last season. How did they win the Super Bowl with a bad offense? Well, they have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes on that side of the ball, and a great defense on the other side.
But, in terms of being in a great position, this squad can easily improve on the offensive side of the ball. Sure, it's not going to be hard to do that with how bad they were last season, but the offense is in a position to go from one of the worst in the league last year, and very underwhelming, to the best offense in the league.
It helps to have Patrick Mahomes, as well as the speed they added in Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown. However, it also helps to have the genius they have in Andy Reid, who just drew up one of the wildest plays you will ever see and something that has never been done.
On Monday, the team ran a quadruple pass play that ended up in a touchdown by Worthy. Yes, you saw Kadarius Toney catch the ball twice, and yes you saw Mahomes catch it and throw it. It was truly a wild play. But, there is something we have to preface before we go too crazy over this play.
This came during the 10-10-10 part of practice. Now, many of you likely won't know what that means, so, I'd like to direct your attention to an article on the style of practice Andy Reid came up with written by Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports Kansas City.
The “10-10-10” specifically refers to the team cycling through 10 offensive plays, 10 defensive plays and 10 minutes of special teams work during the duration of the practice session. These typically only encompass 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 team drills and involve some element of play/concept installation. The 10 plays on offense and defense along with the 10 minutes of special teams plays are all designed to achieve a certain goal. During the 10 offensive plays, the offense will be set up for success and the defense will be acting as a scout team. The offense will practice a specific set of route combinations, reads, runs, formations, and throws, while the defense works at half speed. – Charles Goldman, A to Z Sports Kansas City
Often times plays like that are defended at walkthrough or scout team pace on defense, and that very well could be the case for this play, seeing as the defense kind of jogged back and forth during the play. Either way, it's clear this is a play that the Chiefs could end up pulling out of their pocket at some time during the season.
