Johnson said starters will play some, so I assume at least one drive for offensive starters.

I like how Johnson ramped this up.

I believe the Chiefs are also playing their starters. Maybe its a trend with the new shortened preseason.

Thayer said maybe two series.  I think he gets inside info...

I think BJ just wants to see a progression with Caleb. The fact its going to be a 16 day stretch before the first game has to be part of the reason.

I love the buy-in. From the interviews, you can really see that there is a difference. 

Compared to the other younger Offensive-minded HCs, McVay is probably the only one I would take over Johnson. Shanahan always chokes, LaFleur is solid but I feel like he has already peaked, and McDaniel gives me young Trestman vibes.

They got completely screwed in the Superbowl.  Nick Bosa got everything but cavity searched, in that game, with zero calls.  Seriously, he was blatantly held on at least four drive extending plays that absolutely swung the game by leading to multiple scores. There's a montage out there.
