Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]

[SHOWTIME]

Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

Andy and Spags better learn from the last game and play DJ and Joshua Williams at their respective LT and CB3 positions. In doing so you get a huge upgrade at LG. Why stick with below average play at BOTH LG and LT, when you can get at least similar LT play, along with far superior LG play. Do the right thing this week, please.

Did they say is they're going to play this POS yet?

[milkshock]

Its going to be Thuney at LT whether we like it or not.

Don't **** with the formula is what Andy will say.

[BossChief]

I wouldn’t rule out DJ playing LT against Buffalo quite yet…

Andy better think hard about this. Could DJ really be worse than that? Imo very doubtful. He's already faced better D-lines and was better imo.

The Chiefs scored on 5 of 7 drives and averaged 4.3 yards per rush and 7.1 yards per pass.

They did just fine. They're facing a far less talented defense this Sunday.

Thuney is the LT. We're not messing with the chance DJ gives up an insta-pressure sack fumble.

Whatever.

I'm over this thread.

It's been a clown show all year. There's no pattern to follow other than Pat. It doesn't seem to matter who's at LT, he has as many games where he sucks complete shit as he does games he doesn't. Might as well throw Thuney back at OG.

Could Humphries start at LG (for Thuney) until he earns his game shape back and then slide back outside?

Perhaps less of a drop off at the G position than Caliendo.

Andy will probably not change now. Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter aren’t playing for the Bills. While Rousseau and Buffalo’s other edges are solid, they will be easier to handle than the Texans’ pass rushers. Thuney has a few warts at tackle but I think they can protect Mahomes better vs. Bills.

Question is can Caliendo hold up to a talented pass rusher up the middle?

Thus game Taylor needs to better vs. Von on the right side and we’ll be fine. The Bills are petrified at the thought of Mahomes getting out the pocket. We should be good in the middle.

It's not just that. The run game hasn't been great with him in the middle.

Bad running game doesn't get Pat killed. A DT blasting him head on might.

I'd absolutely bring Humphries back next year and with a whole offseason see how good he is come the preseason. Hopefully he can be solid+ until Kingsly or any other LTOTF is ready.

Buffalos best pass rush comes from the interior. You move Thuney back inside and play Humphries. The main reason they had Thuney at LT is because they had been doing that the previous games and didn't want to mess up the communications ect.

Ed Oliver worries more than DaQuan Jones in the middle, especially on 3rd down. However, fully expect Chiefs to be ready for this. Humphrey’s Advantage: if he gets his hands on Oliver early, he can neutralize him with his size and technique. I also hope Hunt is the main guy running inside this week.

Rousseau is a tough matchup for Thuney. Long and strong. Gonna be interesting.
