Won’t matter what we think, especially if Andy continues to believe Thuney is a better option at LT than Humphries. It’s pretty telling that Humphries, a natural LT can’t beat out an All Pro LG who is only playing LT as an emergency bandaid. KC did not sign Humphries to be a backup for Thuney. They signed him to start.

A good example would be if we didn’t have Butker and our kicker situation was sketchy at best, so they bring in a kicker who they never use for XPs or FGs. Instead they have Justin Reid doing it because he’s serviceable doing it.

Change that story to... You sign buttkicker on IR and because matt amendola is such a disaster you rush him a few weeks early. He gets hurt and doesn't kick well and his next availability is the 2nd game in a 3 game/11 day stretch. Then you can finally start him in the final week with a backup long snapper and backup protection that get their shit pushed in

Now it's the playoffs and you have Matthew wright who has been adequate enough. Now also imagine it's a position that requires a good amount of chemistry, timing and recovery. We don't really know what we have. It's possible he's just terrible. It's also possible the timing never worked out with getting him recovery and live reps and Reid is gunshy to experiment on the biggest of stages. Again I do think that formula changes given that thuney may have regressed to the mean and that buffalos strength is in the interior.

This what y'all gonna be doin when Jesus comes back?

Thuney would be LT in the Super Bowl in that case.

Its not Thuney Im worried about its Caliendo vs. Ed Oliver.

Thuney himself said that Oliver is strong and relentless, nows all the tricks too. He said its a battle for the entire 60 minutes.

Thats coming from one of the best Guards in the league. Now put Caliendo in front of Oliver...

Im wondering if Andy wants to surprise Buffalo and not say who the LT will be. If Von has been watching tape of Thuney all week and the lines up against DJ, thats advanatge Chiefs.

Reid said they rotated at LT this week so we could see Humphries too

So Joe can be poor at LT without consequences? :LOL:

I trust Reid to make the right calls. I do think Humphries outside and Thuney inside - knowing nothing about how Humphries has looked in practice — is probably more doable this week than last.

LMAOLMAOLMAO

Remember when you dopes were saying the same BS about Allegretti last January LMAO

Chiefs will be fine with the current lineup.

You really think he hand ful of games he has Ben around is long enough o be an expert in the protection packages/running game scheme we employ?

Gretti wasn't playing out of position Thuney groupie :D

Apparently....Joe IS our best option at LT!

On a different note - what the hell is the plan to actually upgrade left tackle this offseason? Because it doesn't seem like Robinson is gonna be the guy to go after either.

And Pat needs an s-tier consistent pro bowl type LT for the next 10. And he's not on the roster right now

Thuney hasn't been poor at LT. Where is that shit coming from? He's been remarkable for a guard playing out of position.

The only way they're getting a "next ten years" type of guy is if Kingsley suddenly turns it around.

Those guys don't exist in free agency.
