Less than a week ago, we examined a training camp press appearance with Kansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub, looking for clues about Chiefs players who might be on the preseason roster bubble.
We believe that Toub can often provide such clues because we think his identification of players that are crucial in special teams roles play an important part in the team’s roster decisions. While special teams considerations play a role in determining the roster for any NFL team, Toub’s stature as one of the most successful special teams coaches in the league — and his status as assistant head coach to Andy Reid — may make these factors even more important in the Chiefs organization.
