That&#8217;s what I love most about him,\u201d said Chiefs running back\u00a0Kenneth Walker III, the reigning Super Bowl MVP and one of their big free-agent acquisitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can&#8217;t take a play off,\u201d Walker said, \u201cbecause he&#8217;s going to say something to you about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bleymaier, who is widely considered a rising star in the coaching profession, has a much quieter personality. But he joked Tuesday that he had lost his voice during practice, so perhaps some of Bieniemy&#8217;s vocal traits have worn off on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guys want to be held accountable. They want someone to remind them what to do and not let anything slide,\u201d Bleymaier said. \u201cThat&#8217;s the role of the coordinator and that&#8217;s the role of whoever is put in that position, to constantly uphold that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other news Tuesday, the Chiefs continued with their second padded practice of camp at Missouri Western, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes once again worked out in full after undergoing surgery less than eight months ago to repair torn knee ligaments.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes has been wearing a brace on the left knee, but otherwise it&#8217;s been hard to notice anything different about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou hate to say that anything Patrick does surprises you,\u201d Bleymaier said, \u201cbecause he&#8217;s always pushing the limits of what he can do with the football, and the recovery timetable from just the injuries that he&#8217;s had. But physically, I haven&#8217;t seen anything with the knee out on the field that would show any setbacks. Just nonexistent, any sort of knee issues, which has been incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe&#8217;ll hold it down and when (Bieniemy) gets back, we&#8217;ll be ready to have that intensity and energy.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":891738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2910,7,110,88,6,7708,8896],"class_list":["post-964297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-associated-press","tag-football","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-sensitive-content","tag-training-camp"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117039150074518063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/891738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
