I will be shocked if he isn’t the starter going forward.
Be prepared to be shocked because it ain't gonna be Humphries at LT come playoff time.

No. We don't.

And "in the big games???" What? It was a three game stretch where he faced the best pass rushers in the NFL.

Dude just sit down.
Well see. Reid has forgotten more than you or I will ever learn in a lifetime about line play.

I would agree with this.

TheGuardian 01-05-2025 06:31 PM
LMAO short lease in the playoffs when we're trying to 3peat???

When we have won all these games by 1 score?

We don't have margins for error.

We aren't testing out left tackles in the playoffs.

It's gonna be Thuney

I saw enough from Humphries to think he'll be okay and you have Thuney next to him instead of a scrub. Outside of a few snaps, Humphries was actually burying Bonitto in the turf most of the game and his weakness is speed rushers. He has another two weeks to keep knocking the rust off. I'd roll with Humphries at LT and Thuney LG but that's me. I guess I'm not as scared as some.
Yeah, I guess that's where we separate from some folks.

I mean I get that he had some bad reps but he had some damn good ones as well. Reps that Thuney doesn't have in his bag, IMO. Like you, I saw a guy that was really handling Bonitto at times.

That's SUPER encouraging. And I think some people just watched him waiting for the bad rep that allows them to discard him while ignoring the things he did pretty well.

But he did fall off in the second half. Maybe that was the LG next to him but it may have been fatigue and that's awfully disconcerting.

That's where things get murky.

I love how the attached video shows him playing at LG and then if you scroll down someone shows a picture of a 2-on-1 with Thuney at LT. It's a bit amusing.

Moreover, in 2 of the 3 games Thuney played at LT he wasn't any better than Humphries was today.

Given that we're probably going to play the Chargers in the Divisional, I think I'd go Thuney. We can play a pretty tight, mistake free offense and win that game. The only way we lose it is if we turn the ball over.

But at the same time, that will firmly close the door on Humphries and I think we just might need more than that in the AFCCG and SB.

It's just a much harder decision than some are making it, IMO. Thuney has definitely not been the rock wall some are suggesting at LT and Caliendo has looked real bad the last two weeks.

As a couch warrior I want to see Humphries. If I were in Andy's chair, I'm not sure I could talk myself into it.
The way I rationalize it is, would you be okay losing with Thuney or Humphries at LT?

Personally, if we lose with Thuney, I'll believe we lost with our best possible OL situation out there. I can live with that.

I absolutely cannot live with losing with Humphries when I can trust my own eyes and see the offense performing at it's highest level when Thuney was there at LT.

If there was more time to flesh out this idea with Humphries, I'd be on board. But we are sadly very much out of time.

You start Humphries and gameplan around what you know

Dude is Donovan Smith level so you roll with it until you can’t

Dude just sit down.
You cited that dipshit, completely discredited tweet and you're telling others to 'sit down'.

Do your own homework or shut the **** up. Because that guys a goddamn moron.

I spoke directly to it the last time it was posted.

It is a complete fabrication.

PFF ratings are paywalled. I can't just look them up.

That was my hunch. Thanks.

We've already beaten each one of these playoff teams outside of Buffalo and they don't have the pass rush to take advantage of our line issues.

We know how we match up with each one of these teams already and the smarter choice will be made. The game won't be close.

I don't disagree that Thuney was serviceable at LT but serviceable doesn't mean it's the best use of all of our OL resources. If Humphries plays serviceable and Thuney plays his normal self at LG, that's a much bigger win. Thuney providing help on stunts or when he's uncovered to Humphries goes a lot further than Caliendo struggling to help Thuney. I just think there's more to this decision than if Thuney "might" be marginally better at LT right this second.
