Have a lineup with a sixth OL starting at tackle eligible all game, and have that guy follow Garret on whichever side he lines up on. Not even joking.

It's going to be difficult to watch Thuney on an island with Garrett. But we know this will happen a few times. Just hoping we don't compound the problem by asking Pat to stand back there and go through more than 2 reads. |

I'm listening to Nate talk on the podcast right now and all he did was speculate that "I didn't see Thuney much this week which leaves me to wonder whether he was off learning another position he's not used to?"
Like someone said above If Thuney was the guy he would have moved to LT against the Chargers when DJ went down. Imo it will be Morris that starts and Thuney as his backup if things go like it did against the Raiders. Andy needs to run the ball to keep em guessing, give Morris chip help and let's go win a damn game. |
I'm actually excited about this. When you force Andy to play one handed he simplifies things. Bet the Chiefs just line up a TE next to the LT all day and give Garrett no chance.
This weekend will be a coaching masterclass from Andy Reid. |
I bet it is Thuney at LT. We need to know if that is a legit option for the playoffs if DJ doesn't work out.

The help they have been giving (other than Perine, who sacrificed his body) has largely been just chipping at best, and not the effective chipping that really slows guys down. I'm all for using a tight end (would prefer some 6 OL sets) if they practice actually what their blocking roles are. So far it has looked like "ole" and off I go to run a contested route. |

Officially out tomorrow
|
Get ready for a lot of running plays… 13-6 Chiefs win.
|
I don't really even want Mahomes to play in this game. I am that concerned about his safety. So run the ball and when we do pass max protect and run him away from Garrett.

Put an extra lineman on his side and just beat the shit out of him all game. Maybe he starts making some business decisions.
|
This is a crazy stretch of pass rushers. We literally face one of the top 5 pass rushers in the league every week for the rest of the regular season. If we don't give whoever the LT is help every week, then yeah Mahomes will get killed

Are the browns nice?
Maybe they will let Myles Garrett rest for tomorrow’s game. That would be the nice thing to do |

A lot of speculation. We could just quick pass and run and take him out of the game. Mahomes throws when he hits the back of his drop or he gets killed. It’s really a pretty simple solution. He’s going to have to trust his receivers to win.

Forget wonya , start Driscoll

How about Driscoll and Wanya together at left tackle? ;) |

Any updates on his hammy?

I imagine they'll hold 1 practice/walk through next week if they practice at all. Is it safe to say that DJ probably isn't playing next week either? So best case scenario is he plays once more game before the playoffs? That's wild.

And Nates never been wrong so this is good news!

It could have been rust but Humphries didn't impress me at all the game he played. Thuneys play this week will determine alot, in my eyes anyway. They'll probably give Humphries the last two games to show he is better than Thuney. If not, start Thuney at LT!
|
Getting annoyed with all the talk show guys saying we’re below average offense without mahomes.
We have brown coming back and may have fixed our left tackle issues. Why don’t they bring this up? Do they even know? |

No, he was nothing resembling 'amazing'. He got better as the game went on and looked okay in the 2nd half before getting hurt. But he was getting beat up in that first half. Is there reasonable hope that it was just rust and he'll improve? Of course -- but lets not go saying things that just aren't true. He gave up 5 pressures in 44 pass reps - that's NOT amazing. Morris only gave up more than 5 pressures in a single game this season. He had maybe 2 games that were as rough as Humphries game this year -- the LV game (obviously) and the TB game. Thuney wasn't a fix. Humphries wasn't an obvious improvement over what we got from Morris for about 90% of the season. This team needs to find improvement beyond merely LT. DJ Humphries will NOT be a panacea. There are issues all over this offense. |
Quote:
Did nobody WATCH that game? Thuney was getting mauled. No, Thuney is not a left tackle. |

Morris appears to have gone to that single set/punch because he was desperately trying to protect that outside shoulder as he wasn't getting a ton of help and was struggling with mobility because of his knee. Had we tried to throw the layers of protection help at his assignment that Thuney was getting, it would've looked a lot better for him because even when he loses on that swipe, if there's help to his outside he'll have time to re-set and re-engage. He just wasn't getting that. Nor was Kingsley. Now I do agree that Thuney's floor is probably higher than Morris's. Thuney's bad days aren't going to be much worse than we saw Sunday. Morris's bad days (the two Raiders games most obviously) are catastrophic. But I don't think we're comparing apples to apples in a lot of ways. |

The Raiders your going to plan to help against Crosby not Clausen who has 1.5 sacks in the other 10 games this season. Any game plan is going to try and handle a guy that basically has no sacks coming into the game without help. |

Where we are in the competitive cycle extends beyond our draft position. So many people say "Well we can't get X because we never draft that high..." And the point was made, correctly, that the bigger issue with where we've drafted is the amount of development rope we can give to guys. If we were the Lions when they were shitty, we send Kingsley out there to take his lumps and get better. Those bad teams have a slight advantage in draft position, yes. But they have an even BIGGER advantage in developmental rope. They can let their raw rookies get beat up and learn. We cannot. |
That is a fantastic point. And an un recognized part of what makes sustained success so damn hard.

Quote:
I mean I get that it's hard to break in a rookie. But trying to do that at LT and not doing anything to your offense to help was...not great. Feels like they had a better idea with Fisher -- put him at RT and work him up slowly. Give him a little help from the TE set on the strong side. Have him be in a spot where the QB can see him a little easier. Maaaaaybe tossing untested guys into the LT spot was a poor decision and something of an unforced error even despite our desires to contend. Could've put Taylor over at LT and Kingsley/Morris at RT and things wouldn't have been nearly so rocky, IMO. |

The burden of our expectations and success also sets us up to continue it even further.
You can't tell me that it doesn't benefit this team to have to take on the best efforts of their opponents week after week. It just sharpens the iron. They aren't ever going to be taken back by "playoff speed" and getting an opponent's full focus for four quarters; it's a weekly guarantee for them unlike it is for any other franchise. I see it as the gift that keeps on giving, a nice revolving cycle. A bit exhausting, but wouldn't have it any other way and ultimately it's why they will threepeat. |
Whos playing tackle this weekend?

Quote:
I am surprised they didn't think about moving Taylor over too. Seems less drastic than putting a squat (albeit elite) guard over there. |

Moving Taylor would have just resulted in Kingsley or Wanya starting at RT. They would have had a hole either way.
They're trying to do this with the least amount of shuffling possible. |

Put Wanya at RG and Kingsley at LT and see what you have. And pray for Carson Wentz |

It might have been easier for Morris or Kingsley to play RT and at least Mahomes doesn't have people coming from his blind side. |
Never seen so much hype over one player end so soon
