We're talking going from a hall-of-famer to the sixth or seventh body on the depth chart if he's lucky. He's not even an established veteran player, and he's thrown in at left tackle. What do you do in that situation? Bend over and hope they're courteous enough to give you a reach-around.

Excellent. You also have to remember that Welbourne was out for 4 games as well. Two inexperienced tackles getting your QB killed - not a good situation. Saunders did what he had to - kept the TE's in for protection. The bad thing is that Gonzo is KC's #1 receiver. Without his threat it wasn't difficult for defenses to shut down Eddie and back up receivers with Parker also out.
