Pat needs fast smaller o line to stay moving in his scramble drills. And we need the old screen game back.

Reid and spag have fixation w huge linemen

Continuity would be my guess.

He played like 20 snaps before getting hurt. At that point, Thuney had several games worth of experience at LT and next to Caliendo.

Also need more explosive, pass catching RB’s to get the screen game going again as well.

Choose wisely on who you’ll listen to.

Well we'd better just hope that some mistakes were made.

Because the same staff that determined Humphries was 'unplayable' also thought that Thuney could hold up on an island with a downfield passing game against Philly.

So your hope has to be that they were simply wrong as to what Thuney was at LT and in being wrong, sent the wrong guy out there to play LT.

This year, with guys like Simmons, Conerly Jr., Jackson, and Ersery all in that range it's strangely a good spot in a bad class.

I know people will hate it, but I think them signing Humphries, Wills, or Smith and drafting one of those guys is as likely an option as any.

I cannot even begin to describe how much of a full blown disaster it would be to use your first rd pick to reach for another project LT from a tackle class that you yourself admitted sucks, especially considering what is going to be available to us.

We might not like it, but Conerly Jr. and Simmons are better prospects than Kingsley. Simmons is by far.

Ersery might be better too.

As far as most drafts go, they're better than what's usually available in that range.

If the team likes a guy and believes in him, then sure. Draft him.

But don't pull another Kingsley for the love of God. If your solution to the LT problem is your drafted player, then stick by him and be patient and let him slowly get better. Or redshirt him. Or do basically anything other than what we did to Kingsley this year.

If Kingsley never sees another snap at tackle even if he ends up being a decent guard, I'll still be kind of sad. He's got the tools to be able to play tackle and all of the support/resources to make that turn into being a good starter through his own family and the coaches here. He deserves another shot at tackle at some point. Maybe not this year, maybe not even on this team, but at some point. And if he never gets it, it's all because we ****ed that up for him and in the process we likely hurt ourselves.

Maybe trust? He probably told them him was in better shape than he was and when they started him it became obvious he wasn't near ready.

Andy was a master at the screen game. That's not coming back.


This is Nagy's offense now.

He was coming back from an injury...gave it a go and still wasn't physically ready at that point?

Has any Chiefs brass ever talked about why he only played 2 quarters of football then disappeared?

The fact he vanished really tanked the ending of the season...

I don't think the thing with Humphries is that hard to understand, they probably felt like he needed that last month of the season to develop chemistry and play himself fully back into football shape, then when his injury prevented that, they didn't feel comfortable rolling the dice in a playoff game on a guy coming in cold.

Hope you're wrong. But man, Nagy sure has pit his stink all over the offense. But it is zandy's show, so hopefully he'll reinstate it.

I'm not sure this is true.
