Chiefs Talk Up New Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy

Sep 20, 2018 11:29 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs have had the best offense in the NFL during the first two weeks of the season as they've shifted from Alex Smith to Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and Matt Nagy to Eric Bieniemy at offensive coordinator.

An NFL Films video captures Chiefs receivers talking about the new-but-not-new offense during Sunday’s win at Pittsburgh.

“It’s stupid there with the new guy,” Tyreek Hill says. “It’s stupid.”

“Much easier,” adds another receiver (apparently Chris Conley, but it’s impossible to know for certain whether it’s his voice). “I ain’t gotta think.”

“On me, I just go out there and play,” Hill replies. “Because I know if I’m not gonna be open, y’all are gonna be open.”

Andy Reid Credits Alex Smith For Patrick Mahomes' Fast Success

Sep 18, 2018 8:38 AM

Patrick Mahomes has been incredible for the Kansas City Chiefs through two games and Andy Reid credits someone no longer on the team.

"I will come back to last year and being in that room with Alex [Smith], having that opportunity to see how he worked," Reid said. "For a young guy, that's invaluable. Alex was not one who was going to hide anything or play games with him or anything like that. He kept it all out in the open and was secure enough, that wasn't a problem. He came into a good situation with Alex and I said that was priceless for him. There's no way he could repay Alex with having that experience. That was phenomenal."

Ready to turn to Mahomes this season, the Chiefs traded Smith to the Washington Redskins. Smith then signed a big deal with his new team.
