I believe in the Kansas City Chiefs and not the need of an outsider who has barely been on the team. Limiting the floor is better for us than increasing the ceiling. We run this league.

How many DJ supporters have you seen say they're scared of a whiff or Pat getting hurt? None.

Some people are scared of starting DJ, as demonstrated right here in this thread.

LMAO

That’s true and yet a leap to assume right now too.

We’ll see what Andy rolls with Saturday, I don’t think it’s gonna matter as it pertains to where this team is going.

Random thought...

What if the best offensive line configuration against the Texans - who have a great set of DEs but are just OK in the middle - is Thuney-Caliendo. But against the Ravens, Bills, Eagles... teams with a good internal pass rusher... does it make more sense to move Thuney back in and roll with a LT who is better at LT than Caliendo is at LG, even if a little step back at LT comes with that?

You can make the case...

A leap for what?

When they've had the chance they've had actual LT's play LT. If they wanted THuney out there, he'd have been out there the whole time.

It's a leap for any of us to think the staff believes Humphries is ready to start in the playoffs at LT. They might, they might not.

If Humphries goes out there and is ass and we lose, I would be sick to my stomach upset.

If Thuney goes out there and is ass and we lose, I could handle it because we lost with the players when the offense looked its best.

Thats just how my brain works.

I understand the other side of the equation and I think there's value there, but my brain just doesn't see it that way.

TEAM TOONIE RUNS THE SHOW

If he's not ready to start, they won't start him.

That's not what the discussion here is though.

What is the discussion then? Feels like that's it.

It's nice to have options. If one configuration doesn't work, they can change it up during the game. Before Humphries, they were limited in depth because Morris/Kingsley are both JAGs at LT. We have the personnel as long as they stay healthy. I'm not too worried about the O-line seeing how they didn't struggle against Houston in the first meeting. I'd be more concerned if they faced Denver's pass rush.

Seems quite a few are worried about Caliendo or the prospect of not playing DJ. Which, again, i don't really get given we actually won with Thuney

I'm not even sure it's how people view risk and reward, it's just what have people seen and how they have evaluated that. If you've watched DJ and thought "yeah, he's just a bit rusty, he's close" then he makes sense. If you watched him and thought "He looks worse than Thuney" you go with Thuney, surely

Team Toonie!!!!
