The Kansas City Chiefs took the field for the eighth practice of training camp on Wednesday morning as the three-time defending AFC champions continued their preparation for the upcoming season.
Here’s a quick rundown of what took place during Wednesday’s practice, and for reference, all previous practice reports are below:
1. The Chiefs competed in a lighter, “10-10-10” practice on Wednesday.
The Chiefs took the field for a lighter, “10-10-10” practice on Wednesday following the three-straight padded practices that took place between Sunday and Tuesday.
A “10-10-10” session, which is not padded, consists of what is essentially a circuit of 10 offensive plays, 10 defensive plays and 10 special teams plays. Each segment is of the 11-on-11 variety, but unlike a standard period, the idea is to demonstrate what success looks like for the three respective phases. During the “offensive period,” for example,” the first-team offense competes against the second or third-team defense in an effort to skew the results toward the offense.
The opposing unit is still encouraged to make plays, but if the concept plays out properly, each segment of the team will experience what success looks like within the given scheme.
The Chiefs completed nearly three full circuits of the “10-10-10” format on Wednesday with three offensive periods, three defensive periods and two special teams segments.
