k the podium Thursday for his weekly chat with the local Kansas City media. Toub spoke on a number of topics:Kicker concern?Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsKansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was a perfect 51 for 51 in career extra-point tries to start his career Patrick Mahomes Jersey , but he has missed twice in his last eight tries the past two games.Asked if there was an issue with his kicker on Thursday, Toub denied.“There’s not an issue,” Toub said. “I mean I’m not going to make a big deal. Nobody’s harder on himself than Butker, but really, it’s the whole operation. If you looked at that play (the mixed extra point against Cleveland) in detail, we had a high snap, so it starts with James (Winchester) and then you got to get the hold down (Dustin Colquitt). Everything was rushed on that play because of the snap Mitch Morse Jersey , and that’s part of the blame, but Colquitt was still able to get the ball down—we got to be able to kick it and make it. Again, it’s a 33-yard field goal. It’s not a chip shot like it used to be.”Butker has made 14 of 15 field goals this season, as well as 39 of 41 extra points.The point systemMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe Chiefs have a point system when it comes to special teams, and Toub said that a number of Chiefs near the top this season.“It’s real close,” Toub said. “Right now, I think the leader’s like 59 points. We’ve got like five guys within that area Chris Jones Jersey , so it’s a good competition and we look at that every Tuesday when we come in and give out the grade sheets and look at the board. We talk about it every day. It’s important to those guys. They compete. It’s not like we’re going to give them anything at the end. It’s a peer pressure thing. It’s a good, competitive atmosphere that we got going.”Who’s the leader with 59? Marcus Kemp.Look for Daniel Sorensen to already be involved on SundayIsaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY SportsIt is looking like safety Daniel Sorensen will be back in the lineup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. And if he indeed does play, he will “probably” be involved in special teams, per Toub.“If he’s active, we’ll get him involved,” Toub said. “He’s not going to be up and be on the sideline. Every person that’s up (on the roster) has to help us in some form or fashion. We’ve talked about it and we’ve worked him in there, so there’s a good chance you’ll see him in there.” In a tweet on Thursday Steven Nelson Jersey , the NFL Players Association released figures on how much salary cap space each NFL team will carry over to 2019, as allowed under the current collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA.As you can see, the Kansas City Chiefs are carrying just $715,000 in salary cap space into the 2019 salary cap — second-least in the league behind the Los Angeles Rams.According to Spotrac — whose numbers are based on reported contract information, instead of the actual numbers to which the NFLPA has access — the Chiefs currently have just under $3 million of salary cap space left from the 2018 season.But Spotrac doesn’t have full details on the exact structure of incentive-based compensation and other factors that affect the actual space each team has available against the salary cap.That means that Spotrac’s numbers — while they are useful in giving us a general picture of the cap situation for each team — aren’t the final word.Furthermore, any error can cut both ways.For example, Spotrac says the Cleveland Browns currently have just over $54 million available under the cap Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , but the NFLPA says that the Browns will carry $56.5 million into 2019.Here’s the key takeaway from this information: only the Rams spent more of their effective salary cap in 2018 than the Chiefs did.With key players like Tyreek Hill, Chris Jones and Dee Ford reportedly up for contract negotiations in this offseason — and the possibility of a huge contract being negotiated for Patrick Mahomes after the 2019 season — it would be nice to see theChiefs carrying some unused cap space into next season.But clearly, that isn’t the case.
