The 'charting' they do is just given too much latitude. They are absolutely prone to confirmation bias. If they had him giving up 6 pressures yesterday they're just wrong. I mean they'd have to count something like the rep where the DL essentially lined up at Nickel and Humphries had to dive to try to get out there. That ain't his block - that's the RB or at worst the QB throwing where he vacates. Nobody is expects an LT to get to that block. Or the long completion to Remigio where he routes him inside and 'loses slowly' - the sort of rep that people love Thuney for having. I just can't get to this idea that he was a walking disaster out there and if PFF believes he was, that's just bullshit. |

If he's bad on those six snaps, 7 terrible snaps and 16 good ones is not sustainable. |

The actual reality is, DJ was fine. He got beat on a couple of snaps, and otherwise did fine. It's the NFL, and the other guys get paid too, and so expecting peak Willie Roaf is silly. Morris did better too on the right side than he's ever done on the left side, in my opinion. Everything inside of them was really sketchy. Which makes sense, given that guys are out of position (Kingsley) and wildly inexperienced in actual NFL games. Regardless, Wince was a pile of indecision and inaccuracy, making it all look much, much worse than it was. I don't know if there's enough there to win the game, but there were enough plays to be made to have made it respectable. |

It's not the interesting answer for any of these kinds of discussions, but in the end, I trust that the coaches know what he's capable of based on this game and his performance in practice. I'm glad we at least had this game to evaluate him in a "real" situation. If they decide he gives us the best shot, I'm in. If they decide that sacrificing LG play for Thuney at LT is the way to go, so be it. I really HOPE that Humpries can step up, though. |

I looked at his snap count and he played 32 snaps out of 34 which is like half a game. That is how bad our offense was. |

With Wentz back there I can think of 3 spotty reps. I just don't see that as cause to bury the guy. |
The ideal situation still is, and always was, DJ playing LT.
The coaches know what they're doing. |

But Humphries was pretty solid, and I think there's a good chance KC rolls with him at LT in the divisional and sees what it looks like. |
The snap(s) he had next to Thuney looked good. He played next to Suamataia the rest of the game who probably never has played G before.

I thought dj looked good but I didn’t watch the entire game.
I checked his pff and it wasn’t good so what do I know |
As good as thuney has looked I still feel like he’s a big question mark.
Different body types make for different matchups. Thuney just looks odd on the edge and I feel like a certain defensive end profile might give him big problems. The truly remarkable thing about thuney is his complete lack of holding / false start penalties. He’s historically good at avoiding costly mistakes. Probably one of the best of all time but I haven’t looked up the data |

DE just won the rep. It was a really good move. Looks like Humphries just telegraphed his punch a bit and hit hit by a great swipe move. That's just gonna happen sometimes. I just keep watching that video for traits and they look solid. Strong base - only gets walked backwards once. Really good patience - isn't caught lunging at all Good feet - maintains balance at contact, keeps his feet under him Has the cadence down - is getting out of his snap quickly Isn't guessing - often waits for opponent to commit before his punch Those reps, strictly from a traits standpoint, look really encouraging. |
