Doess TC and preseason give us enough time to find a serviceable replacement?

I would venture to say yes and as much as Roaf retiring will hurt the team, I would rather have a guy who's been working with the first team through TC and preseason than to throw a guy in the starting lineup in the middle of the season. I think a lot of us are freaking out because we don't know who will be starting at LT and I don't blame you. One thing that's comforting to me is that if you look back at the history of the Chiefs, whenever a key OL guy went down or retired most of the time we've been able to find a guy to replace him without skipping much of a beat. You could make an argument that we struggled without Willie last year, but there is a world of difference between throwing a guy on the line in the middle of the season and having all TC and preseason to work a guy in.
