Second SB run: traded a first for someone who was an established tackle

Third sb run: Signed serviceable veteran tackle

If you really wanna get risky, why not throw Kingsley out there?

You aren't intentionally trying to be risky. But it is whether you are trying to play not to lose by doing what you think might be the higher floor of moving your guard over.

Or playing to win although it has a lower floor.

There aren't any guarantees. I hope DJ has done enough to convince the team to start him.

Prepare your puckers, boys.

Andy says he hasn't made a decision at LT and then added that he likes what he saw in Denver and that Humphries is moving in the right direction.

He's not going to say anything, why would he? Better to keep the opposition guessing.

He doesn't care about fans fretting.

It isn't gamesmanship. He wants DJ to play LT. It's pretty freaking obvious because he did say something. Something he didn't have to say.

You really think who we run out there between Thuney and DJ is going to change the game plan of any team much if at all?

I mean you don't really change what you do when you know regardless LT is a weak spot compared to the rest of the OL.

Frankly I think teams would rather see Thuney knowing Caliendo is a weak spot as well.

Humphries will 99.9% be the starter at LT for the first playoff game, but we all know what will happen if he starts sucking.

We won’t know till a couple days before the game when it gets leaked out..

Because there is a difference between calculated risks that offer potential benefit(s) and just being stupid.

Quit being hyperbolic.

I think you partially answered your own question. Are teams going to radically change plans? No. But would they like to know whether KC is going to have a strength or weakness at guard? Sure, why not.

Yup. Based on Andy's answers during pressers Humphries is the starter at this point.

He sucks again they can yank him and throw Thuney out at LT. Or at half time if that's his fatigue marker.

Caliendo is a backup level player and Thuney at LT has killed the run game, that's 100% why they want Thuney back inside.

Thuney at LT forced them to change the entire offense. They can get by with Thuney but that's obviously not what the team wants.

I just don't understand why people don't trust them.

They are going to try to attack the left side of our OL regardless of who we start at LT in my opinion.

I think Andy Reid and Andy Heck will figure it out but it seems to me you start DJ because shifting back to Thuney in game is easier than the other way around I would think and you only do that if its been a disaster.
