By mid-season they will be sticky. Like the rice used in the mortar of the Great Wall of China. The Easter Island Idols will follow them on Twitter.

I know I almost always lean to the optimistic side, but I really don’t think there will be much of a period where this specific group of OL doesn’t come right out and play at a high level right away. All 5 line positions should be above average to best in the league.

I’m excited to see this group grow together because I think they play at a high level right away and by the time they gel, they will be the best OL in the league if Niang is as good as some of us think and someone out of the group of LDT/Long/Blythe/smith/Allegreti steps up.

Early I think they will be adequate (because of the experience and talent level), but they will be a better unit by week 6. By playoff time they'll be even better.

Probably about 6-8 weeks. Before some of you guys flame me, that means camp time. I would expect us to be pretty damn good individually early but more of a cohesive unit by October

The Chiefs had multiple guys on the offensive line, from Osemele to Wylie to Remmers at different spots, etc. and the Chiefs went 8-1 to start the season.

Veterans such as Brown, Thuney, Blythe, Long, LDT and Remmers, along with Humphrey and Niang, shouldn't have any issues to start the season.

And while they'll definitely improve over the course of the season, this is the best starting offensive line that Chiefs have had in terms of talent and personnel in probably two decades.

That Roaf / Waters / Shields line made everyone else on the offense significantly better. I'm positively giddy at the prospect of Jesus behind a similar line!

I think some people just really need something to bitch about.

They'll be fine to start with, better than anything we had last season, and will be great by mid-season.

Yup. That Patrick Mahomes guy makes the OL look pretty good too. I hear he does well outside the pocket

The gel will be visible by no later than the third possession in the opener.
