Yeah, he wasn't bad. He was far better than what we've seen this year.

The offense has no rhythm to it. No consistency.

You don’t think it’s because they’ve started 3 different RB’s, FOUR different LT’s, 2 different LG’s and had to bring in a street FA (Juju) and trade for another (Hopkins) to replace their WR1 and WR2 injuries while trying to get a rookie WR up to speed?

So you don't remember Christmas day last year?

Of course not. But it's going to require them to hit above average in the draft.

A guy like Kingsley could still pan out and that's what they're going to need.

Wanya was LT that game.

He said he didn't recall drama like this last year. There most certainly was drama of this type late last year.

They have taken multiple OT's in the top 3 rounds of the draft, none of them were thought to be reaches. They spent at the top of the market for Taylor, it's not like there have been a bunch of high end OT's available in FA.

Guess what, you pick after 30 every year with some hugely expensive players on your roster. Unless you want to trade like 3 1's to draft Joe Alt, what the **** are you gonna do? We're literally bitching they didn't get lucky and steal a good starting OT.

Im with DJLN on this. We need to cut bait on our Guards and go get us a veteran LT. Even if it means overpaying for average. We can handle average. Maybe we have that in house with Humphreys once he’s fully conditioned and acclimated.

I’ve mentioned in the past that we really need to be overwhelming our roster with lower skill positions like guard and LB. We need to keep doing it at Rb. These are positions you can hit on in the low rounds. I wish we would do more of that. It’s gonna be a real hard pill to swallow if we pay huge $s to Trey and thuney but we couldn’t pay for a skill player like Snead.

That's also a mix problem too, do you go for more valuable positions or the player?

Picking where we do adding any type of blue chip player is difficult. So do you go less valuable position like say RB because you might be able to add an actual blue chip talent..or do you go with a CB or edge because while not blue chip the position is more important.

It's not an easy spot to be in.

I took it as as in the context of Smith playing LT. Perhaps wazu can clarify.

Yes, I was meaning Donovan Smith. The fact that we had seen Wanya in action should only have further solidified for the Chiefs that they needed to bring Donovan Smith back.

He’s only given up one sack and has a PFF grade in the mid 70’s. He’s a playable decent LT that knows our offense and that’s much better than what we’ve had previous years or could obtain now.

Alaric Jackson over Cam Robinson if they both hit FA. Jackson gives up less overall pressure and is 3 years younger.

Maybe so. But let's face it. The tackle play in KC hasn't been good since Fisher and Schwartz retired. They will have to work around it, just like they always gave.

They opted for Humphries when they could have literally signed Smith at any point since Kingsley imploded in week 2. Smith is done. If he were able to play, he'd already be here.

He seems to think he can play based on his social media posts. It's impossible to prove or disprove as he hasn't been in a football uniform since the Super Bowl.

wazu 12-16-2024 03:28 PM

BTW, I'm still hopeful Humphries can get right and provide Donovan Smith-esque performance. This just looked like an awfully big gamble all offseason, and it just about couldn't have gone any worse.
