Will he see the field at alll?

I really do wonder what their plan is. If Humphries looks good against Denver, do they roll with him in the playoffs with literally no time for him and Mahomes to gel? He is clearly the best LT on the roster when he’s at his peak, but is one game really enough to get him back to form?

I really think at this point he’s nothing more than depth for this season, and they’ll try to bring him back on another 1-year deal this offseason. I just can’t see how you throw him out there for a 3-peat run at this juncture. I’ll trust whatever they decide, but I think the decision has probably already been made for us due to the nature of the situation.

I listened to Keysor's take - he's probably right - the idea being, let DJ play the whole game Sunday against DEN, if it does look as good or better than Thuney, sure make the switch knowing that you will upgrade huge at LG moving Thuney back there.

I mean the LT doesn’t have to gel like a wr, just hit the right depths and learn the cadence. I guess we will see.

The Chiefs shouldn’t look past the Divisional Round, but if Humphries looks like shit for a quarter then just make the switch back to Thuney.

That alone shouldn’t be enough to torpedo the Chiefs chances against like Houston or Pittsburgh.

Good point as well.

Honestly, it may be as simple as asking Patrick what he feels best about. He is the one who has to deal with the consequences, for better or worse.

Where Keysor opened my eyes a little is pointing out that if they'll just call and execute the offense like they have the past two weeks -- Mahomes getting it out of his hands faster than ever before -- then it really shouldn't matter if Humphries steps back in or not.

Agree but also add this.

Caliendo has performed admirably, but he did allow the one sack vs Houston. He was late on that delayed blitz.

I don’t think Thuney makes that mistake.

So where Humphries may be helped by the play calling, Thuney helps stop the pressure up the middle.

No noticeable difference on the outside, but he’ll inside.

Its all up to Patrick Mahomes. My guess is Thuney is here to stay this year. They don't have another game for Patrick to get used to Humphries. Patrick has not been hit the last 3 games like he was before so Im sure he's lobbying for Thuney to stay. And Mahomes usually gets what he wants.

It helps that Humphries is a veteran, but time with your battery mate helps on things like stunts and blitzes. The Chiefs had been really struggling with those types of defense, but the quick passing game has largely nullified them. If Andy wants to work in more downfield passing, Humphries and Thuney will need to be on the same page. They’re vets and will have had over a month of practice by the time they next play together. - hopefully that’s enough.

Our run game seemed worse wth thuney/caliendo which I think we will need in the playoffs/weather

If DJ can look solid against Denver, and that's a huge if, then it's probably fair to say we could at least replicate last year's playoff OL with him in there and that is plenty good enough.

But with Thuney right now at LT, it seems we may be able to do it as well. Hell Thuney didn't even play against BAL or SF last season.

We are passing team anyway.....we run to keep teams honest up front.

They're not practicing till next Tuesday right?

If not Wednesday. On a normal Sunday game, first practice is Wed.

Our run game as a YPC has been bad all year.

Who cares.

Because our short yardage running game has been better than ever. And this is really the only time I care about running the football.
