ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]

This is why Thuney is so so good. It’s the same reason Mitchell Schwartz was so good. Thuney loses slowly. You aren’t winning very often against him if you go hands-to-hands against him. He’s gonna beat you up front.

It’s the exact opposite of Kingsley, who has 99th percentile size, strength and agility. You saw Kingsley get dog walked so much bc he can’t use his hands well.

Alex Highsmith tried everything against Thuney and none of it worked. He tried to bull rush him and Thuney stood him up. He tried to use his hands and it didn’t work. He even tried to fly around the corner and Thuney was ready for it.

That’s what I like about Thuney. He isn’t easy to beat. You’re not gonna beat him quickly very often. The only time I saw it was against Myles Garrett which was completely understandable.

That extra second that Thuney provided is vital. That’s why I’d consider a conversation for him being the LT next year. He’s wen way better than Humphries so far from what I’ve seen

Yep.

While it probably won’t happen next year, Thuney at LT could save us a lot of bank

This place might as well be flooded with Bengals fans. That's delusional.

Yeah that's silly as hell.

If they move him to LT, he's going to want more money. LTs get paid. JFC

I can't believe this is even a conversation. It's like people don't actually watch the games.

Still would be far less than paying a guy like Cam Robinson, who some want to pay here

Also, Thuney>>>Morris/Kingsley and probably a rusty DJ

All you have to do is watch Thuney play. He's not a LT and he doesn't play like one.

We all better hope DJ can get it done because teams will know how to beat Thuney.

We don’t have any good tackles. Whatever tackle we trot out there is going to beat.

It took us about 15 games for the line to finally look adequate, and it was when Thuney was moved to tackle.

I'm in the Humphries to start camp. no one in the league has seen this team with DJ, Thuney, Creed, Smith, Taylor, Hopkins, Brown, Worthy, Pacheco, Hunt.

They're preparing in the abstract

WTF does that have to do with next season?

The problem isn't fixed. They covered it with duct tape and putty by putting Thuney at LT. That's it. It's a bandaid. And they completely covered his faults with play calling.

In the playoffs, teams will have an answer for that. You need more than adequate in the playoffs.

It'll be Humphreys for better or worse.

Humphries just isn’t in shape and that scares me. I’d love to have him back next year to have a fair go of it, but at what price?

Thuney has been far better than people give him credit for. And yes the get rid of the ball quickly. We’ve been doing that all year to protect every LT that has played.

But our options are extremely limited. It’s Thuney, Humphries, overpaying Cam Robinson (who was awful in Detroit) or a Mahomes like trade up for a lottery ticket.

So what’s it gonna be fellas? Say what you will but I’m very confident that Thuney is not gonna get baptized and ruin games like Wanya or Kingsley have.

The only concerning game Thuney had was against Cleveland and Myles Garrett.

The Chiefs aren't starting Humphries. LMAO

This is what makes me nervous about Humphries. He’s played 7 quarters of football. He isn’t in game shape.

Teams are gonna look at the Denver tape and see him gassed by the 4th quarter and put their speed rusher on him like Denver did with Bonitto.

From what I saw DJ wasn’t bad in the 4th quarter. He was just exhausted.

Here we go with the scared bullshit again. Nothing - NOTHING - is scary for this team.
