Guessing that it would be a conversation with Big Red, "the Decider", but yea, sure Pat has something to say.

ROFL

The debate WOULD be reasonable if the debaters were but as Meck said, people are dug in at this point and any news, no matter how ambiguous, just confirms their mindset.

The only reason Thuney played LT, and the only reason he would continue going forward, is that they have no other choice.

Playing Thuney at LT is an absolute last resort.

Neither choice should be a surprise or anything people bitch about before the game starts.

If they think there’s an upside to Hump that they have to explore, cool. I also firmly understand if they run it back with the same exact line that played really well against this pass rush not even a month ago.

Andy likes stability on that line and given that we’ve already seen this exact group handle what Houston presents…. You just can’t be mad if they go down that road again.

This.

Put the best players on the field. If that's DJ, great. If it's Thuney, great.

The real meat of the argument here is emotional. Lots of people are scared of starting DJ. What if he whiffs? What if Pat gets hurt? It's the same crap we've heard all year.

Its interesting. I wouldn't have expected people to get entrenched in this sort of argument, it must hit at a core fundamental level of your brain whether you value risk mitigation vs higher potential.

It absolutely does. You nailed it.

Are you okay if Morris starts at LT and Thuney at guard?

Humans are a very flawed species. We're the most intelligent beings on Earth, and also we're complete morons.

Why would I be when they aren't even considering it? It's between Thuney and Humphries. Why try to change the subject?

Do you realize how many of those yards Mahomes got the last few games he played in?

Not really how many? I remember him running pretty good then the ankle thing

My concern is that they're going to look back at the tape and see how vulnerable Caliendo was and just focus on him all game. And if they have Al Shaair in the backfield, it'll make it a little tougher to get the ball out quick.

For as much as people claim that guards aren't important in pass protection, 1) Houston was abusing the Chargers' guards all game last week, and 2) do people not realize that Chris Jones has earned a gold jacket largely by picking on weak guards (and centers)?

That interior Chargers line gave up 4 sacks and multiple hurries.
