McIntosh SUX!

The Taylor move wouldn't be bad. However, it should have been done a long time ago...

I agree. But it's going to take time for Taylor to learn the new position. Moving from left to right tackle requires a completely different approach to playing the position. Once you move him to right tackle, you can't go back--you can't constantly move him back and forth between left and right. It's too much to ask of the guy.

The good news is, McIntosh is a natural left tackle, so you can move McIntosh to backup left tackle and then move Herb Taylor to right tackle. The problem is, you'll have to start Barry Richardson until Taylor is ready to play a different position. I personally don't think Richardson's all that great, but I think you need to use him until Taylor can be ready to play somewhere else on the line.

I don't think Taylor is the future for the Chiefs at LT. I do think he could have a bright future on the right side of the line.

The saddest part he was the teams second best offensive lineman last year. McIntosh is a stop gap solution and I suspect this is his last year in KC.

The learning curve would be minimal for Taylor since RT was his position for two years at TCU.
