LDT gets first team reps at RG
www.rotoworld.com
Chiefs OL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif lined up as the first-team right guard during Wednesday's OTA practice. The Chiefs appear to be high on their 2014 sixth-round pick. Though he was inactive every game of his rookie season, Duvernay-Tardif stuck on the roster the entire season and has earned consistent praise from coach Andy Reid. "Very strong and athletic, and he’s smart," Reid said of LDF. "It’s just a matter with him – like I mentioned back then last year – his reps. Every rep he gets better with. He's a good football player." Paul Fanaika is still the favorite to start at right guard, but Duvernay-Tardif could push him in camp. SOURCE: CHIEFS DIGEST |

If the guy is really that good, has that much potential, then make it a coaching priority to get him where he needs to go. Don't just let him float with the tides and see what happens. There's no salary cap for coaches, hire another Oline position coach and get it done.

This has already been discussed but I don't see why everyone's so big on the oline that and inside linebacker the weakest positions on the team.
The best player on the oline is Ben Grubbs and he sucked last year. Fisher has flashed but overall sucks, Stephenson is a question mark, so is Kush and it appears they are just throwing shit at RG and hoping it sticks like they did last year with the WRs. If this dude plays this year the line is ****ed. |

Shall i talk slower so your inbred ass can understand?
When coaches say a guy "just needs reps" it's just dumb coach speak for 'we aren't sure if the guy can be good enough yet'. It's almost as annoying as your are

Dorsey knows that Alex rather sucks, and is not a long term solution. Therefore, he wants to kill him with a shitty O-line. Glad I could clear that up.

I just want a right guard who is as good as a starter as chase Daniel is as a back up.

He's by far the biggest dark horse on the O-line, he has all of the intelligence and physical talent you could want... but can he play football?
I'd love nothing more than for him to claim RG over Allen or Morse, but just wont hold my breath about it... dude is the ultimate Bigfoot, tired of hearing about him, lets see him. |

Fulton was a 6th rounder last year that was forced to start and was awful, so can you even imagine how bad LDT was in practice considering he didn't even see the field? Patience, people. |

I haven't felt this good about our OL in several years.
-Eric Fisher finally had a real offseason and is stronger. -Grubbs is a multi-pro bowl caliber G who is above average. -Kush is the real wild card as he has little game action. -Jeff Allen was a fringe average G who needed to get stronger and now is. -Stephenson had a very good PFF rating the 2nd half of 2013 and looked promising. He's now stronger as well. -Fulton had a very solid PFF rating the last 5 games and started to play solid football. -LDT has the size, smarts and motor to play in this league, but has no real action yet. -Morse played well in an elite conference, has elite strength/athleticsm and the consensus on him was very good in NFL circles. -Fainaka is a scrub, but he is better than McGlynn. Not much but he's a last resort. This line is deep. It has talent. And I think it will be average at worst once it has time to gel. WR and ILB are still our weakest overall positions IMO.
