## Resource

Kansas City Chiefs’ pass rush concerns mount after preseason struggles—can young stars step up before Week 1? Ryan Tracy and Chris Clark break down the recent addition of edge rusher Niles King and discuss the impact of Ashton Gillotte’s injury on the defensive line. The hosts debate R Mason Thomas’ explosive potential, Felix Anudike-Uzomah’s readiness against AFC West rivals, and Steve Spagnuolo’s unusual preseason tactics. The quarterback battle heats up as rookie Garrett Nussmeyer flashes Mahomes-like playmaking, challenging Justin Fields for the backup spot. Could the Chiefs shift away from veteran backup QBs with Nussmeyer’s rapid progression? The episode also tackles Kansas City’s unsettled safety group, position battles in the secondary featuring Chamari Conner and Christian Roland-Wallace, and what the Chiefs’ final roster could look like heading into the season. Will these moves be enough to keep the Chiefs on top of the AFC?
