They're not even out of bed yet, but Mahomes has somehow already connected with Worthy for a 60 yard bomb

I think call that a morning glory.

It would be big if Joseph realized his potential and played like a solid two with fringe one upside.

Sooooo... we're no longer high on Williams as the #2 CB? When did this happen?

It's like Mahomes said.

Spags said himself that nobody has stepped up to grab the #2 spot. I guess that's when that happened.

I don't want a player to get hurt, but the Toney problem just might solve itself.

MEHHH behind Prince?

That contradicts basically everything we've heard.

NFL really should expand the roster now that teams are playing a 17 game schedule and games are played on almost every day of the week.

I'm not sure how to take that....
On one hand it would nice if we found a diamond in the rough again with him, but on the other hand it's a little concerning he seems to be the early favorite when we have a few other guys that have been in the system for a while.

I know but he swears he heard from someone with the Chiefs. I'll try to find the interview and link it.

Edit: he starts talking Chiefs O-lin at about the 19 minute mark.

Weird how it seems people are jumping to the conclusion that Joshua Williams somehow suddenly got worse and/or fell out of favor over the offseason instead of looking at it like we simply brought in a good player who is giving him a run for the starting spot.

He was drafted much higher than his competetion because of his physical profile. He was drafted early in the second by Miami (44). He was considered a possible late first round guy by some. If this coaching staff can get him to put it together he should be the number 2.

Looks like an elbow injury

Noooooo. Nick Bolton is massively crucial to us. No more contact until preseason w him just have him do the walkthroughs. He knows the d like pat knows the offense

He’s behind in experience but Andy is 100% rolling Kingsley out there due to higher potential.

It will take time but I think Kingsley can be a solid LT. But it will take time

I like Williams, but I don't think we should be expecting much out of him. He's a decent corner in a good system on his rookie contract.

Mahomes ain't about this "bring the rookie along slowly" life. It's 3-peat time, you're getting involved, rook.

That's, uh, not good.

Sounds like possible hyperextension for Bolton

I've heard a fair number of people suggest that Morris is out-playing Kingsley but that Kingsley is doing enough and demonstrating the kind of talent that has the Chiefs still wanting to see him take the starting job.

And honestly, that's to be expected. In a vacuum, how could Morris NOT be at least a little better than Kingsley right now? He's played in the NFL for a full season. This is his 2nd Reid camp. He's taken starter reps in key late-season games.

Morris had damn well BETTER be playing better than Kingsley at the moment.

But that doesn't mean he's going to get the starter's job.

I really think they'll have to make a move if Bolton isn't ready.

LB depth was my biggest area of concern for this team. I think they can make due with a lot of 2nd tier flyer options at CB because we scheme 'em up. But LB just isn't something you can scheme really well and if Bolton's down, this LB room starts leaning heavily on UDFAs and limited guys (Tranquill's size, Chenal's agility).

Bolton going down would be a real big problem.

And in a perfect world, you have 2 boundary CBs that can let McDuffie migrate to the slot as needed.

Giving both of those guys plenty of outside run is a good plan.

Can’t wait until the first time punt God smashes a punt 75 yards. We’ll all cum in unison

Gonna statutorily rape opposing punt return units.

Were never going to have bad field position.

Ever

Not if the defense stays top 10 and our offense returns to 2022 efficiency levels with more splash plays, no.

I bet he could hit a piss missile 80+ yards in Denver

I love these threads.

Unless they're reporting injuries. Then I hate these threads.

I live a couple of miles from the stadium. I might keep an eye out during games for a punt landing in my yard.

Thank god

Lame post

Fock punting. You can get off during warmups.

Look at Kingsley

Hoping Bolton is ok. :grovel:

At least it's the elbow and not the wrist he had surgery on



But shit that's still not good

NFL training camp, a daily exercise in balancing wet dreams with stacking demons in the closet

No he didn’t. He said if the season started today he thought Wanya would be the starter. Given his friendship with the OL coach I’m guessing that wasn’t an assumption.

Matty Lane said on the lab that in clips Wanya has cleaned up a lot of his issues and looks better. Like Staylor said Wanya should be ahead. It seems like they've pretty much given it to Kingsley because thats who they want. Wanya should make a solid guard or RT anyway.

Having 2 good options to play LT isn't a bad thing either.

You'll recall in 2014 that Eric Fisher got all the LT snaps (and then had some weird small injury in the preseason game) and then out of nowhere for week 1, Reid put in Donald Stephenson at starting LT and Fisher stayed at RT from the previous year.

I want Suamataia, and the coaches definitely want him to grow into that role and be the longterm starter, but don't be surprised if they do an unexpected swap.

And if they do, all the chicken littles need to remember that this happened to Fisher in his SECOND season, and he still turned out to be a pretty good player.

I had thought of that earlier in the off-season. People were proclaiming Fisher a bust. But hell they ended up still doing that until about 2018.

Pacheco rules. You can tell he’s growing into a leader already.

At 19:30 Grunhard says Wanya Morris is probably going to be the opening day starter if everything stay pat. Petro disagrees

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Kingsley is the swing OT to start. This isn't a slight on him at all, he's an incredibly raw prospect and Reid may think he needs a bit more development time.

Kingsley will be the starting LT against Balitimore. They’ve made it clear it’s his job to lose.

Kids gonna be really good as he builds chemistry with Thuney and they work on communication regarding inside transition moves that he struggled with in college and had struggled in camp with, as well.

The coaches are well aware of that weakness, as they are giving specific work detail to help him improve in that area.

Kingsley gives this offense something Wanya doesn’t. Ability to move really well in space and get in front of the misdirection, sweeps, screens and other stuff Andy hasn’t been able to call as much with guys like Smith and Brown…but utilized a ton with Fisher.
