Training camp seems a distant past since the Kansas City Chiefs now sit 3-0. As I think back to the sweltering equatorial Africa like conditions the team and the fans suffered through in St. Joseph, a post I made comes to mind.
I was worried about a lot of things.
The thermometer flirted with 100, humidity was near that, and the players seemed to be practicing at 50% intensity. The adverse weather conditions, combined with the entirely new training camp location, new coordinators, and healthy infusion of new talent made me wonder exactly how our hero’s would fare.
I guess I didn’t need to worry much.
Straight out of the gate the Chiefs are 3-0, one of those games was one on foreign turf, and we even won a preaseason game against the Green Bay Packers. Wow!
So what do you think Addicts? Is our early success as a result of the changes and the adverse training conditions our team experienced in camp, or despite those barriers?
