This happens every year. I mean, EVERY year. OL is generally a reactive position. They respond to what the DL does and the DL responds to the skill players, so OL already starts out behind the 8 ball, so to speak. 1-on-1 drills favor DL players. Mike DeVito and Jeff Allen recently discussed this very issue in a KC Sports Network podcast. Both of them agreed that, particularly early in camp, Andy Heck works the OL a lot harder than the DL is worked, in part because of what is required of the OL. Jeff Allen talked about how the first few weeks of camp are frustrating because the DL initially walks all over the OL, particularly in 1-on-1s. Allen said that after 2-3 weeks in pads, not just camp but in padded practices, the DL pressures begin to become more and more familiar and they are better able to resist DL pressure. Put another way, it always takes the OL a few weeks to catch up to the DL from the start of camp.

So, if in another 2 weeks, after several more padded practices, the OL is still losing heavily to the DL, I will start to worry. Otherwise, this happens every camp and Petro is talking out his ass, which I know comes as a tremendous surprise to others here.

Petro’s been on vacation for a week and hasn’t watched shit, so he has to drop a bomb his first day back to get everyone’s attention. So transparent.

Where does everybody get that the OL is getting their shit pushed in?

Everything I’ve seen makes it sound like it’s been back and forth, and very competitive.

That is all they talked about today on Sports radio. Defense was on it today...so that means the Oline sucks and we are doomed!

Yep, they hate Hardman and act like Brown is a total bust.

Petro loves to talk about how irresponsible the Chiefs are with contracts and the cap. "The Bill is coming due one day!!!!!!!!!"

It is a quandary for Petro- he needs to keep the Frank sucks narrative going, so can't praise him, even when beating Brown.

Frank sucks > Brown sucks even more.

Local sports radio is awful this time of year. They have Droopy (aka Teicher) on constantly. You’d swear we ****ing suck by listening to it.

Apparently, we have huge needs at Corner, DE, our OL rebuild failed, etc.

****ing painful to listen to.

Mainly from some short 1-on-1 clips and reports from drills that favor Defense.

That, and a lot of people don’t understand that it takes new O-lines a while to mesh together.

I would be freaked out about our defense if we weren’t looking good at this stage with as many new OL that we have.
