Wow, he just manhandled his guy both plays. Thought he wasn't even supposed to be a good run blocker? Dude looks healthy and motivated to earn another payday. We're going to get the absolute best he has to offer, which looks pretty damn good.

Sorry to hear that....but you KEEP RICHIE JAMES MOTHA****IN' NAME OUT YOUR MOTHA****IN' MOUTH!

Another great outing for him tonight. It's preseason so I only get so hyped from what I'm seeing, but wow if this is what our OL is this year it's the best in football

There’s a real chance that Mahomes will have the best OL and best compliment of skill players of his career this year

That’s really ****ing crazy to say

Might end up being the best LT in the division

Still waiting till the season starts to get hype.

But if this keeps up throughout the season, Veach truly is a Wizard.

Donovan Smith be like, "Aye, 15, this ain't OBJ over here. Stay in your pocket, son."

6'6" 338lbs 30yo monster

OL dominated for 4 quarters.

Ya this o-line is now easily the best in the business. Nice job Bert Veach!

He's making some members here look really stupid so far

If Mahomes has time and some legit receiving threats...the league is ****ED.

It's preseason but Smith looks to be a significant upgrade over OBJ.

I remember OBJ's first year with us, he did NOT look good in preseason, and our cope was that "it's just preseason and it's a new system. he'll get better", but he really never did.

Has this guy looked good or has this guy looked good?

The Oline as a whole looked improved thus far. Smith looks like a better fit than OBJ was. He looks like a young man out there.

Premature preseason says we improved at both tackle spots.
