Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub spoke with reporters before practice on Thursday, discussing options this season at the returner position.
"I just like to get some fresh legs – I got two guys that are dynamic with Brashard (Smith) and (Tyquan) Thornton, and then Nikko (Remigio) is just solid. He is a solid and really good blocker. He's going to get the yards that's blocked up, and I'm happy having him back there at least as one of the guys," said Toub, "Then the other guys I've been rotating as you've been noticing. I was happy with Brashard. He got in there, and he had a nice return, the bounce, 33-yarder, I think it was. But he is going to get a little bit more as we go."
The Chiefs' special teams unit has come under fire in recent games for its efficiency, but there is still optimism that the returners will have a big moment this season. Toub, alternating between Tyqan Thornton and Nikko Remigio, has shown a willingness to encourage competition in-house to increase intensity.
