It’s early, but the offensive identity of the Chiefs hasn’t evolved yet. "I think it remains to be seen," co-offensive coordinator Brad Childress said. "You’re continually in flux.

"Bart was full of energy, full of emotion," Sutton said. "I think he had a few moments before I got him in New York that he might have done a couple of things that crossed the line. But that was Bart Scott's greatest strength. He brought a lot of emotion and energy and enthusiasm and competitiveness to the team. That's one of the reasons one of the first things Rex [Ryan] did after he got to New York was to hire Bart Scott. He wanted that in his team."

They’re both rookies and down the road, they’re going to make some rookie mistakes. Right now they’re off to a really good start after two games. They’re making plays for us, they’re [doing] what we expect them to do as far as outrunning corners and safeties. They have two games under their belt. People see it, they’re going to start scheming them up a little bit, maybe doubling them a bit more and we expect those things to happen. Hopefully they can keep playing at the high intensity they are."

"We screwed up": Chiefs say parking headaches will improve for next game | The Kansas City Star
"We've asked our fans to buy in and have patience with us. They did, and we screwed up," Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. "We have to get better."
That should happen by addressing several areas. Two problems seemed to draw the most complaints: The congestion around Gate 5, located at the southwest corner of the Truman Sports Complex, and the lack of direction to parking spaces once cars got through the tollbooths.
