We have you covered on with a great pregame show with the some of the Chiefs players we’ll be watching and what we are looking for in game four.

The Chiefs are obviously going to be a more aggressive team under Brett Veach with building outside of just the draft. Kansas City swung it’s second trade in just a few days netting Cameron Erving from the Cleveland Browns. The Chiefs didn’t have any media availability so they have not made any comments regarding the move publicly. It will be very interesting to see how that changes things on the offensive line.

On the field, the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the Tennessee Titans tonight to finish out the preseason. Patrick Mahomes will play the first half and he will have a lot of guys around him trying to make a final impression on the coaching staff. The third and fourth quarters will also have guys trying to make the final roster or an impression on another team. Here are some players to watch.

On offense watch the left tackle and left guard. Isaiah Battle and Damien Mama are two players that have been showing things in the preseason. Mahomes may have been looking to run for his life throughout the first three games but when pressure came from the left it was usually Dontrelle Hawkins at left tackle. Another player to keep an eye on is Marcus Kemp. Kemp and Mahomes had fantastic chemistry in training camp and Kemp caught Mahomes’ first TD as well in a game. Kemp looked to be a great practice squad player as camp wound up but could make the team as Demarcus Robinson has really fallen off.

On defense the Chiefs will really have some tough cuts. I can’t see how Justin March-Lillard makes this team with the addition of Reggie Ragland. I don’t see any of the young OLB’s making this roster either. At corner and safety the question is how many do you keep. If they keep six corners, who is the sixth, I’d think Kenneth Acker but it’s hard to say. At safety Leon McQuay hasn’t distinguished himself which usually means he’ll be turning in his playbook on Saturday.
