Taylor lining up so deep does Trey absolutely no favors and forces him to play outside rushes differently than he would would another tackle next to him. Teams are going to keep blitzing that gap since Taylor doesn't seem to want to change anything

They are saying Humphries will start against the Chargers, 12/8, his contract still isn't official and he needs to be evaluated by Chiefs medical first

That's kinda what I figured. I would imagine that they are up on his medical since they've been monitoring his situation for a month or so. I don't think they would have signed him if they didn't think he was healthy enough to play. Hopefully they get the details worked out today and he can participate in practice this week.

I'm pretty sure it's all official, but they just haven't announced it. Also there is no way he hasn't already passed a physical.

Don’t care. You know who has had to deal with the most adjustments and turnover of any player on the entire team? Joe Thuney

He’s had 3 LT’s in less than 2 years, one of which was a disaster, and yet he’s still doing his job at an elite level bc he’s awesome.

I read somewhere that he just arrived in KC yesterday….

It was the same with Orlando Brown. Once teams realized that he simply could not handle outside speed, he was cooked.

You can get beat. You can't get beat the exact same way every time.

That doesn't mean Smith doesn't struggle anyway, though. A pilot once told me that catastrophe never happens because of one big bad decision. It is a chain of small bad decisions. All one has to do to prevent catastrophe is break the chain.
