Agreed. RT might be Morris’ more natural position.

1. I agree that Mahomes probably has a lot of say in this matter.
2. Fans continue to project greatness on DJ, when in reality he couldn't hold up for an entire game.
3. Offense with Thuney at LT is finally locked in, there is no way Andy is going to tinker with it now barring injury.

Well the Broncos game is exactly the time to 'tinker'.

Why wouldn't you send Humphries out there and see how it goes? Makes all the sense in the world.

Are we sure he will be ready for the Bronco game?

I think he means don't change it when the playoff games start. Stick with what's been working.

If not, he's not playing for us again and it's all moot.

I think he will be and if he goes out there and looks credible against Bonnito, there's no reason not to start him in the Divisional round.

"What's worked" has still be schematic more than it has been based on premier performance from Thuney. Thuney's been solid but by no means good at LT. We've simply schemed to help him and Pat's getting the ball out fast.

Keep doing that. Only do that with Humphries at LT and Thuney at LG.

That's WAY better than Thuney at LT and Caliendo at LG.

Just give your LT the help and schematic advantages you've been giving Thuney and you'll be fine there. And in the process massively upgrade your LG.

If he’s not put Kingsley out there..

Accidentally down voted. Meant to upvote.

I keep seeing Humphries couldn’t even make it a whole game. In reality we probably forced him in way before he was ready out of desperation.

And if he breaks down again, you move Thuney back.

I mean, it ain't THAT complicated.

Yes, don't understand why this even remotely seems controversial. Kudos for Thuney hanging in there, but if Humphries is a healthy go, the potential is higher for this offense all around, on the ground and in the air.

They have a path now to the SB, where a couple of weeks ago, I'm not sure we could say that confidently.

I think, it may be a bit controversial, because they have looked the best offensively with Thuney playing Left Tackle. Of course, we don't know how they would have looked had a healthy Humphries played Left Tackle with Thuney still playing Left Guard. I have a hunch they would have looked as good or better.

The key is, if Humphries is really healthy. If he's not, then I can understand leaving things the way they are.

Humphries being thrown into a playoff game after only playing in two games during the past year… assuming he’s able to play vs Denver… is a big risk.

I’d rather not mess with success and keep Thuney at LT.

He's going to have 3 weeks of practice for the staff to see what he's capable of. And, presumably, a game of live action against Denver.

That's plenty to know if he's capable of playing at the same level of Thuney at the position. It won't tell you if he's a GREAT LT, but it'll tell you if he's a passable one.

And that's all Thuney's really been.

The only glitch would be if they put him out there and then go back to hanging their LTs out to dry. But they can absolutely learn enough to know if they can play him in the same way they're presently using Thuney. And frankly, having Thuney at LG being able to help him will make him all the better.

Thuney having to do this with little help from Caliendo is massive. And makes me all the more confident that Humphries, with Thuney next to him, can easily provide the same level of performance.

Sure, but we now have a backup plan. If he looks like ass on the first drive in the divisional round, you put Thuney at LT. It's not like we'd be committing to Humphries for 12 quarters of playoff football by giving him another shot.

I think people underappreciate how much our coaches use the regular season as a time to tinker and try stuff. They give guys a long leash because we need to know if we can count on them or not in the playoffs. In the playoffs, that leash will be much shorter. If something's not working, you abandon it. Simple as that.
