Nick Wright is losing his mind. And for good reason. While most NFL coaches treat the preseason like a glorified practice session, Andy Reid’s busy cooking up a secret sauce that’s led to the Chiefs’ unparalleled success.

On the latest episode of the What’s Wright Show, analyst Wright puts forward a stern question: Why aren’t more NFL teams stealing a page from Kansas City HC’s playbook? “I don’t understand why most teams aren’t like, ‘Hey what did Andy Reid do in the preseason in training camp? Yeah, let’s just go and do that,'” Wright railed on his show. “Chiefs run one of the toughest training camps; they have the best players; they play in the preseason, and it works. They’re Super Bowl contenders. So why don’t more teams copy it?”

While Rams’ HC Sean McVay’s unconventional methods have created some buzz, Wright is adamant that Reid’s approach should be the gold standard. The Chiefs, under one of the best coaches’ iron fists, have turned the preseason into a competitive battleground, even with Patrick Mahomes under center. Their secret? A no-nonsense preseason game plan that’s tough to beat—unlike the LA team with a startling 24-23 playoff loss to the Lions.

The Chiefs’ coach himself is doubling down on his preseason philosophy: get the starters in, get the rhythm, and get ‘em out. In a recent training camp address video, Reid outlined his plan: “I’m gonna play everybody. We’ll go the ones for a quarter, twos for the second quarter, threes for the third, and fours for the fourth.” Now, this is a stark contrast to most HCs, who treat preseason games as glorified scrimmages.

While the ex-Eagles coach’s approach might seem counterintuitive in an era obsessed with player safety, the results speak for themselves. Preseason prep is their secret sauce; with Reid at the helm, Kansas City’s always in the Super Bowl mix.

From Super Bowl win to preseason prep, Andy Reid’s playbook magic

Andy Reid’s at it again, proving why he’s a Super Bowl maestro. On Feb. 11, the KC team, under Reid’s genius, snagged their third Super Bowl win—with a mind-boggling 25-22 OT win over the Niners. With seconds ticking down, the former offensive line coach’s tactical brilliance turned a nail-biting finish into Kansas City’s finest hour at Allegiant Stadium.

Reid’s game plan was simple yet effective. “There’s two ways you can go with it,” he asserted. “You can either kick it off or you can receive it. Ours ended up being the right one.” His choice, backed by a sharp strategy, sealed the victory. Now Reid’s turning his attention to the preseason. Ahead of the opener against the Jaguars, he’s ready to showcase his young talent. “I want to see how my team handles the competition,” he said. With players like Kingsley Suamataia stepping up, expect fireworks as Reid fine-tunes his squad.

Andy Reid’s knack for blending strategic brilliance with player development is why the Chiefs aren’t just defending champions—they’re a freaking dynasty in the making!
