On Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs rookie guard Trey Smith spoke to the media. Smith — who has played every offensive snap through his first seven games — spoke repeatedly about his need to continue improving.
“The main thing for me,” he began, “is not getting overaggressive a lot of times in my set — and just being patient. And then playing subdued like Mike Remmers — just before the play even starts.”
For the past two games, Remmers has manned right tackle next to Smith after Lucas Niang made the first five starts. Smith credited Remmers — along with other veterans, offensive line coach Andy Heck and his assistant Corey Matthaei — with helping in his development.
