The bottom line for me is that Alleman is far superior to Goof and that the Chiefs need to get Wade Smith on the field, whether it's at center or right tackle.
He's far too athletic to be sitting on the bench.

100% correct. It wasn't just confidence. It was fundamentals too. When Cassel actually had a window to look through, you could see him going through his progressions like a real QB. Few top-tier QBs have even a fraction of the protection issues he has to deal with.
If Haley doesn't bench Goff after this game, then somebody needs to sit him the **** down.
