Phuqtard.

Because you can read the future, take your pills.

Didn't even notice how much worse Albert is ranked against the run. Also surprised about how much higher Schwartz is ranked. Obviously these rankings aren't perfect.

Seems like it almost has to be a typo.

The Dolphins have been bruising teams with the run game the last 4 weeks. I could see that happening if you have an average LT but if you're rolling out some lesser version of Jordan Black out there, I just don't see how you could be as good running the ball as the Dolphins have been. Have they just been running to the right really well?

Seems unlikely. But then again, not taking PFF as the end all, be all requires some degree of critical thinking and Inmem has long proven incapable of that. If it isn't something that's spoon-fed to him, he's probably not going to get it.

Having watched PFF grades for individual players because of Sandbox, I have no problem saying that their 'graders' develop grudges against players sometimes. I saw a year where a 14 sack player who was top 5 in the league in pressures was given a heavily negative pass-rush grade and I'm positive it's because the grader just flat didn't like the guy. I think it happens fairly frequently.

Just imagine Clay doing the grading for the Chiefs. How do you think that would go? These are still people and they're prone to biases just as any other reviewer would be.

He's good enough that the Chiefs don't have to worry about the LT position.

That's a huge get for a team.

He's our best offensive linemen regardless all the cock gobbling the media gives Morse.

What picks did we get in that trade down?

A 4th to draft Parker Ehinger, who was surprisingly solid at LG in the 4 games he played.

2013-steady LT who is doing a solid job from the worst draft in years.
2014-pass rusher who is currently 2nd in sacks
2015-generational All-Pro caliber CB

Yeah I think Dorsey has just about owned every detractor so far.

If I played fantasy football, I'd probably ask Dorsey to do my draft for me.

I'd say Dorsey has kicked some serious ass in putting the OL together.

As for Fisher specifically, not much more to be said than has already been said. You never notice him out there and that's a good thing. I think he's improved a great deal in the run game and in the passing game he's held his own. You'd like to see a little more improvement there. The good news is that pass pro is largely technique, especially with a guy that has the athleticism of Fisher. I expect he'll continue to get better in the passing game.

I don't think he's going to turn into a Joe Thomas caliber, first team all-pro guy but he's going to be a steady top 10 LT and that's a fine use of that pick coming out of a truly shit-tastic draft.

He's a good football player who's finally learning to use his physical gifts to his advantage. A plus player that's improving is pretty damn good to have around.

the chiefs were losing offensive line talent to FA year after year (Hudson et al.), yet continue to reload. That's a huge credit to Dorsey and his crew.

It's a good reason for the CP idiots to withhold from bitching when we take a Morse in the second.

Hey at this point I'm just glad he isn't a bust and playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders or pushin carts for Piggly Wiggly. Which was looking like a real possibility a year ago. Now he looks to be playing pretty well.
