Part of the reason that the Chiefs are playing so awful in the pre-season is because Herman Edwards knows his team lacks depth at the skill positions.  Trent Green has completed 9 of 12 passes for 66 yards, but if he were to go down…..the Chiefs wouldn’t be a .500 team, and that is a fact.   Larry Johnson has only 11 carries for 38 yards in the pre-season, but with Johnson’s upright running style it isn’t worth it to play him in the pre-season too much.  Eddie Kennison has only caught 3 passes for 32 yards, but at his age, why risk giving him playing time in the pre-season?

I’m not defended Edwards here, but I understand his thinking.  Still, the team should play a little better in the pre-season.  If they don’t, Edwards better pray every day that his starters stay healthy.
