People are insisting we move Thuney back to guard or the Bills are going to go 85 Bears on us.

This shouldn't even be a QUESTION after we averaged 4.3 YPC and 7.1 YPP against an elite defense.

Who INSISTED we put Thuney back at LG? Quote them.

Because it's a ****ing discussion board?

If you don't approve of the thread, put it in your ignore list and move on.

It's going to be interesting to see how he deals with the length and strength of a guy like Rousseau. It's a bad matchup for a guy that depends on technique to win because he doesn't play like a traditional LT.

You keep saying it was good enough. Some us don't care about good enough, we want better. Unfortunately, we don't have a better LT. But let's not sit here and pretend playing Thuney at LT is some kind of panacea.

The book is kind of out on Thuney. He has short arms. He can be beaten on the outside. Even if he doesn't whiff its just tough for him due to the physical tools. Is he better than Humphries? Probably a little overall because he doesn't just get straight beat that often but this is the first game in a while where I would be OK with a switch due to Oliver being so good for Buffalo. I do not think they will switch though and that makes sense. Continuity on the line is a big deal.

Any defensive end worth his salt in terms of converting speed to power has driven Thuney straight back into the pocket quickly. It absolutely has affected plays. Rousseau isn't as good at doing that as many of the DEs we've faced with Thuney at LT but it's not like he's completely incapable. A 6'6" 330 lb true LT just anchors far better against that than a 6'4" 300 lb LG can ever hope to.

Am I concerned Thuney being at LT somehow wrecks our gameplan for this one or any game in particular? No, I don't think that. Do I think we'd be better off with someone else at LT? Only with respect to the net gain that includes Thuney being at LG. I just haven't seen enough of an uptick in production to warrant making the line worse overall and Thuney at LT does exactly that. It also has not made Pat play better.

It really boils down to whatever Andy and Mahomes prefer. If we wanted to lean on the run against the smaller Bills D line, I think it makes sense to use Humphries and slide Thuney back to guard. However, if we're planning to pass more, I think Thuney at LT is ok. I hope we dial up more roll outs and screens regardless.

Mighty Gregory Rousseau has 3 sacks in 8 playoff games, 2 coming in his last two playoff games LMAO

He has NEVER sacked Mahomes in the playoffs.

This is the dude I'm supposed to be afraid of? LMAO LMAO

ROUSSEAU!!!!!!!

Nobody told you to be afraid. You use that word all on your own.

Seems like our line struggled with Buffalo last year in the regular season, but not in the playoffs.

Hopefully Sunday will be the same

You actually think that's what this discussion is? Are your sensibilities that easily offended? Are you a teenage girl?
