When Orton was QB, this o-line gave up 1 sack in 3 games. When Haley was coaching this team, we ran the ball very well, even with 3rd string RBs.

I'm not obsessed with it.
I think the line is just fine.
I'm okay at this point with Albert. He's mediocre. But it's not like we're going to find something better at this point as he's four years into the league and basically entrenched at the spot.
Asamoah is not good. But there are plenty of potential guards on this roster that are good enough to fill in if he continues to shit the bed.
But I also find it amazing that C.E.'s new obsession with PFF doesn't show that the Chiefs are 25th in the league in passing yards, 30th in the league in yards per pass, 28th in 20+ yard passes and dead last in passing TD's and passes over 40 yards, but, yet are 17th in the league in pass attempts. (We also lead the league in interceptions.)
All he sees is that Albert and Winston are two of the top eight pass protectors in the league at the tackle position.
He doesn't see the reason for that ranking. That the Chiefs are dumping the ball off as fast as possible in the shortest routes possible. It elevates the pass protection "stats" for our tackles as they don't have to truly pass protect in the strictest sense of the word.
