The Kansas City Chiefs are halfway through the preseason. Some aspects of this 2015 roster are becoming clear and a few remain in limbo. As John Dorsey and the coaching staff seek to balance the equation, they have some issues to address.

Caution is ruling the preseason and the second preseason game displayed that well. Seattle didn’t start their premiere running back. The Chiefs let Jamaal Charles play, but didn’t give him a carry. They opted to throw him the ball and avoid and pile-ups at the line of scrimmage. Both these decisions were smart. In the end, they show that the product on the field for a preseason game isn’t quite the real deal.
