I mean, Skip Bayless also said Thuney wasn't very good because apparently there's a history of Patriots OL leaving the team in free agency and not being good elsewhere.

So there you have it, Virus. You've got Skip Bayless on your side about Joe Thuney. Congratulations.

Anything else you want to bring up? Are you also concerned that Tim Tebow will make Jacksonville into a contender against KC? You've got Thkyuuip on your side...

Do you know these people personally?

Staylor is a douche, but it literally was just a few Pats fans comments I read on Reddit or an NFL page on Insta probably.

I never claimed a couple randos' opinions were law, but you combine that with the track record of Patriots FAs not really matching their production in NE as well as just being in a new city, new organization, new team, new scheme, etc. There is always a chance a guy doesn't pan out.

LMAO I didn't bring it up, you ****ing dick. Someone asked if they were the only one a little worried Thuney and Brown won't pan out, I chimed in saying no, there are some reasons to wonder if he'll be as great with us as he was in NE.

Of course, tiny dick string bean lil Chiefy staylor got butthurt and made it way more than it ever needed to be.

Him being in the tub constantly helped open up a few guys

Hard to get someone open when you are not on the ****ing field

LOL

You ain't getting the ball if your QB is a RB, Sammy. Be prepared for very similar pedestrian-type numbers.

Meh, those Watkins comments are nothing.

Wow, that's a breath of fresh air. Like Willie Gay Bopete didn't have a full offseason last year. Could be a different story now. He'll be one I'm 'keying' in on in Preseason.

man DT is ugly LMAO

Skip is the king of saying stupid shit. He only loves Brady, Cowboys and black qbs. He actually said we should stick with Moore after that Vikings win. What kind of journalist would say something that stupid and keep his job. He is so biased he's not even a real journalist.

He's not throwing shade or anything. He's just blissfully unaware of his impending disappointment, that's all.

I’ll eat crow “IF” Niang makes the Pro Bowl.

Translation: In KC I was a beta bitch and this squad sucks so I'll... nvm I'm hurt.

After the interview Sammy dropped the mic, on his foot. He's day-to-day.

A lot of these players go to teams that are not contenders. That has to factor in somewhere. Not the case with Thuney.

Do we think Reid is going to keep Niang at RT when Remmers comes back?

Trey Smith I think has just about secured the starting spot. He only needs to demonstrate consistency throughout the rest of the preseason, stay healthy, and he's got it. I'm not sure Niang has shown enough to not give the job back to Remmers.

And again, there's nothing wrong with that for now, particularly if that's who Reid trusts to do the best job in the short term.

But CP has told us that Reid won’t start rookies on the O Line let alone 2

Reid seems to go with who he can trust to be consistent. I think if Niang shows flashes but sometimes struggles while Remmers is ok but not great I think he sticks with what he can reliably plan around.

You’re a moron

What? **** off. Everything I said is true.

A skip bayless defender, eh?

Sounds like it. How its possible is beyond reasonable thought.

Lizard King of the rehab tub.

"I’m a whole different species," Watkins posted. "I'm convinced I'm not a human never was I'm more like an advanced reptilian solar being. I’m very powerful it kinda scares me lol." LMAO

Lucky for us we have a generational quarterback with elite improvisation skills when the line breaks down. We’ll be fine until they start to gel, as long as Andy doesn’t go into games with the same gameplan as the SB.

We also probably won't be facing a d line as good as Tampa's all year long.

I’m a douche for pointing out how silly it was that the only reason for your concern was that a few Pats fans said he wasn’t that good?

Notice I didn’t comment on your concerns about Brown, because they weren’t ****ing stupid.

Til the SB.

How are you going to get the ball with a QB who can’t throw outside the hashes??

He neds to be on the field to be effective! He was good, but his absence was a concern

This. When he was healthy he took our offense to another level. That’s why we were so dangerous for a while. Once he went out it was a significant drop off, but not as difficult with the other elite weapons we have. But he’s hurt too much for the money he was making. Ready to see Hardman make progress into his spot.

Without that instant pressure from their front four the Bucs secondary will get roasted. Never again.

Give me Cheetah for 200

Good Deberg.

As far as I am aware, we have yet to see Orlando Brown catch a Tackle Eligible pass.

So there's that.

Dremont Jones is having a monster camp and coaches are telling media people off to the side that they'll be stunned if he doesn't make the Pro Bowl this year. McTelvin Agim has also made big leaps this offseason, but he's more of a rotational player.

Von + Shelby Harris + Dremont Jones + Bradley Chubb is about as good as it gets in the NFL right now.

Jones Vs Thuney I thought pretty much a draw. One jones got around and Thuney held. Once beat you cheat. The second Jones got push but didn't get free. Pat easily finds a lane and gets the ball away. My 2 cents anyway.

Also meant to mention Thuney gets away with that hold in NE maybe not in KC.

This, no hate for Sammy, he was clutch in the playoffs in our SB run, and opened up our offense immensely when healthy... Unfortunately that wasn't enough of the time. Also, Lamar isn't Mahomes, not even close...

What exactly is Orlando Brown going to learn in 600 snaps that he didn't in 400? I mean, really.

****ing troll- this is the Chiefs training camp thread.

Ban please!

Poor Sammy.

He's going to spend the season watching the ball fly over his head, bounce off the dirt, or sail 10-yards beyond his catch range.

It's going to be quite the show.

FAX

You misunderstood what I was getting at

Trey Smith is the only one that has been able to block Jones so far. An early favorite for Defensive Player of the Year- the way he is tearing it up.

What's more impressive is how you are saying that in spite of the fact he is looking like a DPOY guy, Smith, a rookie guard, is able to block him. That is a very, very good sign for this team.

uhhhh, doesn't it suggest something about Jones?

Yes, but Jones was already a Pro Bowler. Smith is a rookie 6th round guard.

Trey Smith has 1st round talent, teams just got scared.

A little thicker sock. A Chihuahua's teeth only has so much depth. They sling off the ankle like boogers too.

I don't understand that comment from Watkins, why not beat your man and get open. Guaranteed Mahomes would have found him.

Sammy shouldn’t let his mouth write checks that his prosthetic legs and Lamar Jackson’s inability to throw an accurate downfield pass cannot cash.

LMAO

Welcome back little buddy. Hang around so we can make fun of your epic win streak against the Chiefs.

Even still he is a rookie going up against what many consider the #2 or #3 DT in the league going into his prime.

He has to actually be on the field to watch the ball fly over his head.

But seriously, he got signed so he can be a down field blocker for Lamar and no reason to think he won't be good at it.

Early in the year, the DL always has an advantage over OL. OL is reactionary. Wait a couple of weeks as the OL improves conditioning, gets into game form, and starts recognizing what the DL is doing. This happens every year.

Meh, Jones was just half-assing it against Smith to make him look good and make all the Planeteers get excited...


And it worked!

Can we bring in some of these shot putters for a look? Sheesh, what beasts.

I would just like to say, half a day too late, that I am not concerned about Thuney.

Guy is a far better version of Ryan Lilja. He's technique and chemistry and brains.

That won't stand out in camp while things are gelling, it won't stand out in one-on-ones against Chris Jones, and it may not emerge for the first month of the season.

But he's a homerun.

There's a black guy for the men's gymnastics squad that looks like he could block Chris Jones into the stands.

I can't remember his name or I'd post him here. Dude is an absolute unit.

3 rookies on an OL that cost us a Super Bowl is not a slam dunk idea.

but, there is this too. As long as he’s not running around for 500 yards a game.

Dude is 5'5". He's not putting any NFL player on their back.

No one cracks me up like knowmo

Is he in the NFL ???

This guy looks like a ****ing beast until you realize Tom Cruise is taller lol

LMAO

They need him to play DE full time. In the last couple of weeks he has proven he is a natural at the position. And BTW, get every one of our DE’s into a Pilates class ASAP.

Long-time lurker - enjoyed the thread. Have been keeping up quite a bit this year with camp and to me the surprises have been Willie Gay and Trey Smith. Was thinking - who would you rather have breakout (Sneed type seasons) out of those two?

Don’t think Chiefs have gotten great LB play since Spags got here. Having Gay step up would give them a star at all 3 levels at a position that is likely to make more splash plays. On the other hand, I don’t know how you stop the offense if they have elite interior line play and can run the ball at a much more efficient clip. Thoughts?

Well he’s got to say something. And he’s not going to say, “I miss catching balls from Mahomes.”

And to be fair, when he was in the field he did beat dudes. Richard Sherman’s jock is still MIA.

And in fairness if he miraculously stays healthy he’s going to be productive. You know teams will dare Jackson to beat them with his arm and he’s thrown some bombs to Brown if he has a clean pocket.

Have some green. Welcome to the planet.

Watkins comments really put things into context as to why we missed out on some WRs in free agency. Basically the WR 2 is atleast the 3rd option in this offense. Not exactly ground breaking info but nice to be able to make sense of it. I'm still butthurt JuJu didnt sign here that would have been sick.

the same reason you stated why watkins by default wasn't going to produce is the same reason juju didn't sign here. he didn't want to be another 600 yards/year receiver :thumb:

Forget JuJu, I prayed for Julio Jones to come to us. Think how sick that would be right now.

That’s why Creed is starting.

No different than Sammy.
