Ok then. I do know there was a vocal minority on that, for whatever reason I thought you were one of them. I stand corrected.

This is exactly what I think Kingsley is going through. These tackles don’t learn jack shit playing in the spread RPO offenses.

The ball comes out so fast and the designed quick passes/runs don’t have these kids pass blocking as often as they should.

Kingsley is literally a mold of clay. He’s a damn good mold with elite size and athleticism but he needs to learn technique.

That’s fixable but it’s gonna take time. We saw the same thing with Dee Ford and Eric Fisher.

Damn I liked Guyton too. It’s tough out there

So did the POS practice today?

This is why you absolutely keep Humphries if he shows even slightly above average play and stays healthy. We are incredibly lucky he got hurt last year and was out there for us.

It’s a wasteland out there for tackles. I don’t know if they’re just not being developed properly, or if edge rushers are just getting too good, but we are not going to find anything better than Humphries this offseason. It’s simply not going to happen.

LMAO Come the **** on. An appeal to authority with a Twitter account that has only 2k followers and has absolutely nothing of substance to say except point to arbitrary PFF grades? Surely you can argue the point better than that.

There was a good nugget of wisdom I got from one of Rich Eisen's guests a couple months ago, talking about Anthony Richardson and similar QB's not being developed enough, the college spread offense, etc.

My takeaway from it was the NFL really relies heavily on College Football to do the "dirty work" of developing these players to be pro ready... even though that's not at all the job of a College Football HC. Their job is to win games, not train their players towards a specific style of play that they'll need once they get to the NFL.

If there's anyone to blame, I suppose it would be Goodell and the NFL owners at large for putting this responsibility at College Football's feet instead of using their own money to run a "Developmental League" themselves. I'm sure they potentially saw this coming, they just didn't care because they wanted to make more money.

If you need a reminder for how absolutely worthless the PFF grades are, Trent Williams got one of his higher single game grades against the Chiefs in 2022. You know, the game where Frank Clark got back to back sacks on him, including a safety that ended any miniscule hopes they had of coming back.

Hell no, **** no. Hopefully he plays so dominant the rest of the season it makes the contract decision excruciating or simply makes himself way too expensive.

Nick Bolton > Tre smith

Wouldn't it be nice if the NFL had a kind of minor league they could send a lot of these players to so they could develop NFL skills?:hmmm:

Better than an ad hominem deflection with literally ZERO substance behind it...

Played. Past tense. He wants to turn it on and not suck ass anymore he's more than welcome to.

Trey Smith is currently graded out as the 4th best player on offense behind Humphrey, Mahomes, and Thuney. How's that for substance.

Smith is going to get big $ somewhere next year regardless of how you think he has played this year. So he may as well earn it the rest of the season while he is still in KC.

FWIW Mitchell Schwartz pretty openly stated Smith's issues have been from having to make up for Taylor's weakness. I am assuming those deep pass sets are ****ing things over for Trey.
