The average NFL career is about 3.5 years.

OBJ has been in the league for 4.

Yes, OBJ is a savvy veteran. We have offensive line coaches as well as a head coach that has been coaching up O-Lineman for about 40 years now.

Eric Fisher isn't gonna be a guy who unlocks the secret sauce for OBJ. They don't play an even remotely similar style of football and are about as physically dissimilar as one can be. This is akin to suggesting that the Royals should re-sign Michael Taylor so he can teach Vinnie Pasquantino how to play.

It's kinda silly.

Man we got so lucky last year with injuries. Total missed opportunity to bag another SB.

Every year the NFL championship is largely just an injury lottery among like 8-10 teams with good QBs. We ran very very good last year.

I'm not going to b shocked if one of the 53 isn't currently on the roster.

As much as the 2018 AFCCG stings because of the sheer absurdity of losing because a guy lined up offsides, the 2021 might hurt worse because it's just so inexplicable. And it rests awfully heavily on the shoulders of 15.

Yeah, we missed in a big way there and it may be the one that we look back on and cringe most 20 years down the road. I just can't understand what happened.

We have a guy named Bushman?

LMAO

Not to be outdone, the Raiders will sign Dick ****ington to a multi-year deal.

LB Diego Fa.Got was just cut by the Ravens

We need to sign him asap and play him alongside Gay

When Spags dials up a blitz and "Gay, bundle of sticks0t sandwich the quarterback in the backfield!" things will get weird...

Id also look at signing him:

My bro bought a Gay jersey last year, gets lotsa laughs at the games. If I bring my Diego F*** along…..we will make the local news . Or Deadspin

Yes, KC did get lucky with injuries and came up short.

But the year they did win it all, that was sort of improbable to have so many late double digit come backs in the post season.

Yea, yea, it helps to have the best QB in the business.

Still rather improbable.

Usually the players that make 3 straight pro bowls are the mentors. Don’t know how bringing in a guy with 1 less pro bowl in twice as many years in the league will do much to help him.

Well okay, I guess. Though I'm not sure I believe that a 9-year vet (as a top-10 pass-blocking LT for much of that span) doesn't know more about footwork, hand placement, basically the minutiae than a guy that's only been in the league for four years, and mostly as a run-blocker vs. a pass blocker at that. I get that they aren't the same physically, but a lot of those things do translate regardless of size, or at least that's what I've been told.

But I also realize that I never even played on an OL at any level, so what do I know?

But I did fly commercial turboprops for nearly 20 years, and I know that I could teach a four-year guy volumes about the business of flying after just 10 years, but I guess that's just too different from football.

What’s the news on McDuffies injury? Really need him week 1.

Even if he has a concussion, I highly doubt he isn't cleared by the week leading up to Arizona.

He has 17 days.

I guess we could cut one of our 53 hall of famers to sign another one.

Maybe. But I'm a moron that's been right a lot more often than I've been wrong, so there's that.

Regardless, the fact remains starkly the same: we have no one in house that can play LT adequately if OBJ goes down. Never mind that a prime Eric Fisher was far better than whatever we have in OBJ right now. He's decent, but not a top 10 LT by any means. Fish was for years.

Whatever happens, the Chiefs could use a solid LT, as a backup or whatever. Because right now that guy doesn't exist.

Dude. You do know the Chiefs have an OL coach on staff, right?

Released: OT Roderick Johnson
Waived: QB Dustin Crum
Waived: RB Tayon Fleet-Davis
Waived: WR Aaron Parker
Waived: LB Mike Rose

I would like to see most of those guys land on the PS

Roderick Johnson looked terrible

Not the Crum! Well good luck son, I hope you latch on somewhere.

Hmmmm....

Do you think Geron Christian is worse than Cam Erving? Chiefs won a SB with Cam Erving as the backup LT.

PFF had Erving at 44.8 in 2019. Christian has been above 60 every year of his career with the exception of this last one when he dipped to 59.5.

So, your argument almost literally makes no sense whatsoever.

Christian is the swing OT, at least for now. While I'd love to have Fisher back, he's not coming back for what we could pay him and Brown isn't going to move back to RT.

OBJ might slide to RT in a pinch but that's it.

He's made it apparent his old man, (rip) taught him where the $$ at.
What he didn't teach him was he needed to be a top LT to get the $$ he preached.

I can’t even think of what kind of pinch would move him to RT.

Mahomes deciding to beat the Broncos left handed for an entire game, which would reverse his blind side.

DILLY DILLY!

Rose looked really good to me. Would love to see him on PS.

I remember when Niemann looked really good for an undrafted guy…

Don’t you put that evil on me

Yeah I liked him too, REALLY liked Sanborn, gutted he went to Chicago. Rose looks a decent option, seems a smart player who'll play above his athleticism.

Yep. Deal is Christian is terrible. KC will be in serious trouble if OBJ goes down. Lack of Tackle depth is pretty scary.

The only way we are going to compete for a SB every year and not waste Mahomes years is to follow the NE/Bellicheck model that allowed then to win Super Bowls.

HOF QB
Great Oline
WR JAG's
Great defense
Trade great players with one year left that you're not resigning to long term big contract for draft picks

They turned their roster over every year. Aging players, players with pending big contracts traded, replaced with cheap draft picks.

If Jones is traded this off season for draft picks, we will know that Veach is going to take this path.

You move Thuney out and put in Allegretti at guard. :shrug:

Thats the weakness of this model above is the team doesn't have depth when a player goes down. But.... King Carl did the best 53 and we didn't win a playoff game for 20+ years.

Carl sucked as a GM. I'm sure that his head coaches had more to do with his players selected than he did. That's why the defense was top of the league but the offense sucked under Schottenheimer, then the offense was top of the league while the defense sucked under Vermeil. Veach, on the other hand, has put top talent on both sides of the ball I'll take that any day.

We aren’t going to be like New England in that run. Hell even New England didn’t compete every year they had a big gap in there.

More than one way to skin a cat

I don’t know. It seems the Patriots never had a down year with Brady at the helm

The Patriots 9 year title gap (2005-2013) included 2 SB appearances and three consecutive offenses that scored 500+ points (2010-2012). Brady won MVP twice (2007, 2010). Their only weak seasons were 2005 and 2009, where they still made the playoffs at 10-6 but combined for a 1-2 postseason record

Why not?

I think we can absolutely draft better than Bill did. This draft and last year's would argue that we can. And we've got a shitload of picks again next year.

JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Rashad Fenton (groin), Carlos Dunlap (Achilles) & Trent McDuffie (out of the league’s concussion protocol) all returned to the practice field today.

No Frank Clark, Blake Bell, Matt Bushman & Leo Chenal.

Frank Clark have a bad burrito from El Magueys?

That's a lead pipe cinch

Frank Clark doesn't eat burritos anymore. He's a whole new man.

Bell and Bushman both will be out for awhile. Clark, meh. What happened to Chenal?

Yeah he does falafels now bro.

Terrace Marshall appears to be on the roster bubble/trade block. Many of us wanted him in the Creed spot (thank god we’re dumb). But I’d be interested in giving him a fresh start.
