The Chiefs offense is out of sync and simplified because they do not work hard enough to get in sync. And, they do not practice enough to run more complex plays.

Under Vermeil, old veteran linemen were fit and the unit worked together. Now, the talent level is down but not as down as the results, so is the fitness level.

At every level of football, fitness and practicing hard and smart make the difference.

As paid professionals, the Chiefs should practice as long as they need to play their best.

If Herm allots a certain amount of time for practice and the clock runs out before the team demonstrates their proficiency, and he ends practice because of time and not because of results, then he is not getting the most out of the talent that he has.

As crappy as the last three Herm Edwards' teams have looked in their season openers, it looks like he is not working the team enough in training camp.

Also, in last year's playoff, the Chiefs were not prepared to play in a loud indoor stadium.

That loss had more to do with lack of preparation for a loud and hostile crowd than playcalling.
