Expect to see more of the Chiefs starters if you&#8217;re headed to this year&#8217;s training camp.</p><p>Also look for them to play more if you watch any of their preseason games.</p><p>Mindful of their sluggish 0-2 beginning in each of the last two seasons, coach Herm Edwards made some changes aimed at getting the Chiefs off to a quicker start.</p><p>The biggest change will mean more work for Brodie Croyle and many of his offensive teammates.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s critical that not only he&#8217;s practicing, but the offensive line is there and the receivers are there,&#8221; said Edwards, who opens his third camp with the Chiefs on Friday at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. &#8220;It&#8217;s all about timing and playing together. You can&#8217;t just say, &#8216;Well, we&#8217;ll get it.&#8217; You won&#8217;t get it if you don&#8217;t practice together.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just the practices. These guys are going to play a little bit more in the preseason. Brodie Croyle. The offensive line. How much more will be determined by how we&#8217;re doing. We&#8217;ve got a lot of young players, and they have to play. That&#8217;s good for them, so we&#8217;re going to play them.&#8221;</p><p>The changes are intended mostly for the offense. The Chiefs scored one touchdown in the season&#8217;s first two games in 2006 and again last season.</p><p>They eventually recovered to respectability two seasons ago, but their offense remained a mess all of last season. The Chiefs scored more than 20 points three times last year and only once during their season-ending nine-game losing streak.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got to make sure the No. 1 offense is always practicing together,&#8221; Edwards said. &#8220;That hasn&#8217;t taken place for us a whole lot in training camp. Guys were hurt or we were trying to rest them after a few practices. We&#8217;ll have more control over that. That hurt us a whole bunch. Last year, we never had our five offensive linemen playing together.</p><p>&#8220;A lot of that had to do with availability of players. If you look at our team, all of a sudden there&#8217;s only nine guys out of the 80 that we have that we&#8217;re considering one-a-day guys.&#8221;</p><p>The Chiefs last year had a lengthy list of players limited to one training camp practice per day because of advancing age or injury concerns. Edwards said certain players still will be withheld from the occasional practice, including running back Larry Johnson and tight end Tony Gonzalez.</p><p>Those players come mostly from a diminished list of 30-and-over players, including cornerback Patrick Surtain, linebacker Donnie Edwards and offensive linemen Brian Waters and Damion McIntosh.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not 15 guys like it was last year,&#8221; Edwards said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a lot better than it was. And these guys, they won&#8217;t go once a day for the whole camp. When we give one guy a practice off, we&#8217;ll give a bunch of guys the practice off. That way, when our offensive group works, it works together.&#8221;</p><p>That includes Croyle, who last year at this time was battling with Damon Huard to be the starting quarterback. The two shared the starter&#8217;s snaps during camp.</p><p>All will go to Croyle this year.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re giving him the ball,&#8221; Edwards said. &#8220;That&#8217;s another change from last year. That&#8217;s been a hodge-podge deal for us since I&#8217;ve been here. It&#8217;s nobody&#8217;s fault, but that&#8217;s the way it&#8217;s been. This year, when the first-team is out there, Brodie&#8217;s in the huddle and calling the plays.&#8221;
