During a recent press conference, Andy Reid praised new Kansas City Chiefs coaches' immediate impacts during rookie minicamp | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters during last weekend's rookie minicamp. He addressed potential changes to the offense and praised two new members of his coaching staff. "The plays are the same, it's just what areas you draw from.

You got a bunch of different areas, whether it's your drop back game, your three-step game, your play action, your movement, screens – all those things you've got in the game plan are the opportunity to put them in the game plan," said Reid, "It's just what ones you draw from to put in there. I think when you see Kenneth (Walker), I think he catches a ball easy so he's another one that can help you in that area and (Emari) Demercado is the same way. Demercado did that for Arizona (Cardinals).

" During the offseason, the Chiefs made numerous changes to their coaching staff, particularly on offense. Two notable additions were Wide Receivers Coach Chad O'Shea and Running Backs Coach DeMarco Murray, who have immediately made a positive impression on Reid after the rookie minicamp. In addition to bringing back Eric Bieniemy as OC this offseason, the #Chiefs also added new WRs coach Chad O'Shea & new RBs coach Demarco Murray.
