Thuney/Allegretti/Humphrey/Smith/Wylie at least keeps this offensive line so goddamn mean in the ground game that you will force teams to respect it.
Brown/Thuney/Humphrey/Smith/Wylie is a decently above average running offensive line, which no marked improvement against the pass.
My guess is that, on the merits, Thuney is not a solution longterm at LT; eventually teams will scout him and know better how to attack him. But damn he is a fantastic stopgap and I find myself wishing we'd keep him there for Week 18 just to run down the Broncos' throat and secure the 2 seed before we bring Brown back.
