Thuney hasn't done that.
The Bills don't have prime Warren Sapp, this is not a concern.

From what we've seen humphries is riskier than thuney at LT. But theres still upside that humphries can play well enough that the gap can be closed because we know he was a good LT pre injury. I don't think theres any doubt thuney is a substantial upgrade over caliendo.
The risk is putting an adequate LT next to an backup guard against Ed Oliver and a team that loves to blitz their LBs.
One scenario gives you a hall of famer player and a question mark. The other is a safe option with average play from both of these guys. It's not nearly as easy a decision unless the chiefs just don't think Humphries is ready which is entirely possible
