Contrary to expectations that veteran coaches might resist such changes, Reid expressed a fiery readiness to tackle the new challenge head-on.

“It’s different, I’m not afraid of changes, never really have been,” Reid proclaimed to reporters gathered at Arrowhead Stadium. Known for his adaptable coaching style, Reid’s enthusiasm was palpable as he discussed the potential excitement these changes could bring to the game.

“This is different, it looks like it’s going to be exciting, I’m fired up to see how it looks-as long as it goes in our direction,” he added, flashing a grin that mixed confidence with a touch of his trademark strategic thinking.

While Reid remains the strategic face of the Chiefs, the nitty-gritty of prepping the players to master these new rules falls to special teams coordinator Dave Toub. According to Reid, Toub has embraced the challenge with vigor. “He’s worked with the guys. We can only use bags,

but at least you get an idea of angles, distances, what the kickers have to do. He jumped right in with it,” Reid explained, underscoring the proactive approach taken by his coaching staff.
