Josh Simmons Acclimation During Bye Week CRITICAL For Chiefs Playoff Hopes

Kansas City Chiefs stand at 5-4 after the bye week with Josh Simmons returning and the trade deadline passing without major additions. Can Andy Reid's squad still capture the AFC West title and the number one seed?Ryan Tracy and Matt Derrick break down the Chiefs' offensive line configuration with Simmons back from his five-week absence, analyze why the team couldn't land Jets running back Bree Hall despite offering a fourth-round pick, and examine how the Indianapolis Colts' blockbuster acquisition of Sauce Gardner reshapes the AFC playoff picture. The discussion covers Steve Spagnolo's defensive adjustments needed to compensate for pass rush deficiencies, Patrick Mahomes' path through a favorable remaining schedule, and whether the Jacksonville loss will define this season.Key topics include the Chiefs' must-win Denver matchup, potential practice squad additions at running back, and why veteran waiver pickups might be more valuable than young talent for Kansas City's complex defensive scheme.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOChiefs?sid=YouTubeLocked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFLTEXT US: 816-357-8781MORE NFL:🚀 NFL Teams News - https://NFL33.com🎞️ Chiefs Breakdowns at RGR Football - http://bit.ly/RGRF-Chiefs🔥 ChiefsKingdom Gear 👉🏼 https://teespring.com/stores/rgr-store📝 Chiefs Corner Site - https://chiefscorner.substack.com/🧧 Connect: @RyanTracyNFL | @LockedOnChiefs | @ChiefsCornerListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better.
