Spot on with the addendums.
Right now, our two tackles stink. So do Allen and Asamoah.
It was immediately apparent that blocking quality went up when Schwartz came into the game at LG, even though he's primarily been a RT/RG to this point in his career.
I'm sure Albert would bitch to the heavens, but right now, this should be the Chiefs offensive line:
LT: Fisher
LG: Albert
C: Hudson
RG: Schwartz
RT: Stevenson
Fisher is having a hard time adjusting to the right side of the line and it's apparent in his footwork and timing. I'd like to see if it's actually a left/right thing as former offensive linemen have stated (remember Bruce Matthews talking about how difficult the switch was going from left to right).
Albert's technique has always been mediocre at best and he's getting worked and penalized in order to compensate for it at this point. He needs to be in at guard. His experience and athleticism at LG would greatly benefit Fisher at LT as well, whereas Fisher and Asamoah on the right side isn't looking too hot.
Allen has put too much weight on from his rookie to second year and it shows. He's carrying a lot of fat whereas he was relatively lean at the beginning of last season. He's slow out of the blocks and has a hard time engaging.
Asamoah simply misses far too many blocks. He completely whiffs on picking guys up, especially on pulling plays. He's a liability at this point versus Schwartz, who has really manhandled dudes so far this season.
Hudson has been solid through three games, IMO.
I don't know if it's continuity or what, but the offensive line has been the weak point of the team so far and it's not even close.
