The Chiefs are closing in on the end of organized team activities, and on today’s SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, we hear from the coordinators.

Special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Dave Toub doesn’t like the new rule that will allow the ball to be placed at the 25 with a fair catch on kickoffs inside the 25. Also, Toub provides updates on players the Chiefs could use at return positions.

Matt Nagy is back at offensive coordinator, a position he held with the Chiefs in 2016 and 2017 before becoming head coach of the Chicago Bears. He tells us what might be different about the offense this season.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo coached up several rookies last season and faces that prospect again. He tells us who has made good early impressions.
