We are now 22 days away from the start of training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri which means were are that much closer to the start of the 2014 season. To help us get prepared for training camp we are asking three questions for each position group that we’ll need answered by the time week one kicks off.
Today we are discussing the secondary, a much maligned group during the offseason after the Chiefs blew a 38-10 lead in the playoffs. Gone are Kendrick Lewis, Quintin Demps, Dunta Robinson, and Brandon Flowers; in are Chris Owens and Phillip Gaines. For the most part people will likely agree with the departures from the secondary but there is some concern the Chiefs didn’t add enough in the offseason to fix the holes.
There are some reasons to be positive about the secondary but there are far more questions than answers at this point. Let’s take a look at three of those questions.
