the chiefs today have to figure out how they're going to approach the rest of this

continually depressing season they have to go for it on locked on chiefs

from the land of the free and the home of the chiefs this is the locked on chiefs podcast

welcome back friends and neighbors.

It is Locked-on Chiefs, your daily Locked-on show for your Kansas City Chiefs, despite their record here on Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every single day.

And now the number one sports podcast network.

Thank you every dayers for being here and being every day.

And you can be one of them if you get subscribed and you listen all the time and you're down in the depths with us because that's where we go every single time. We're brought to today by Fandual. You can get it right in the middle of the action this season with Fanduil. Place your NFL live bets all season long and through the end right now on Fandual. I'm Ryan Tracy, the founder of Rogue Analytics and Performance Consulting, where we run down the draft class, the metrics that you need to know pre-draft, and I know a lot of your minds are on draft right now. I'm also over at NFL 33, where we look at the rest of the league, trend statistics, etc, that you need to know about NR football where we deep dive. My partner, Chris, been doing this with me for nine years, a couple of years before that on other shows that we did ourselves, 30 years-ish, 28-ish years covering this team between the two of us, and we very much appreciate you. You can find his work in KC Chief's Corner on his substack and get in the action over there.

A lot to talk about here. A lot of letdown, a lot of hurt feelings this week. One thing that isn't hurting is the fact that there's more depth to tackle this year than there has been in quite a bit.

And now there's a rotation there. What is it going to look like after Andy Reid's comments? That's how we start here in just a minute.

But the bigger philosophy is what do you do now?

What's left to build for?

How do you make this next four weeks work for you in some way?

And that leads us to our last topic about this rookie class,

what you can get from it, what you can do for them, and therefore

for your future in this AFC West run against the two teams in the AFC West that are

in front of the Kansas City Chiefs. Chris, tackles, obviously, it's been a thorn in the side

of this team for years. We've known that ever since Eric Fisher left, right?

But this year, having thought you got it mostly sorted out, then to lose Josh for a while,

get him back, and then losing an injury yet again.

And now Joanne's injured as well.

What you thought is your starting tackles have not been your starting tackles for this
