In 2015, the dude was probably a top 10 LG.

People forget how good he was that year.

I remember watching this guy's workout tape thinking: raw, but damn what an athletic beast. Too bad he's gonna be a cooch doc.

He's been coached up nicely.

At least you're consistent.

Yeah, this was one of those contracts that people were citing as a reason why Dorsey should be fired and I never understood that.

If he signs a guy early like LDT - "DORSEY SHOULD BE FIRED! HE OVERPAID FOR POTENTIAL!!!"

If he makes a guy prove it like Houston - "DORSEY SHOULD HAVE LOCKED HOUSTON UP EARLY - HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!"

LDT is a good player and good players cost money. You watch teams like the Giants and Packers go out there and get their QB run off the field then suddenly you realize that perhaps a good young OL is worth spending a few bucks to retain, especially when they're a relatively cohesive unit. There's virtually always sticker shock on these deals (let us all not forget that Ron Parker freak-out). But there are 32 teams out there and a bunch of agents that have a damn good feel for what their clients can get from those teams.

In the era of exploding salary caps, virtually everyone is going to be more expensive than what the average fan thinks is reasonable.

I've never been on the tardif bandwagon and there is still something about him I just don't like....or more accurately trust.

When it comes to Chiefs players I guess I'd gladly be wrong and have one turn out awesome.

In this case, he's playing alright, but I wonder if his lack of pressure is more a testament to him or picking in the other side and outside rush?

OUF!!!

Chiefs’ Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has taken another step forward

Let’s look at the numbers than talk about what LDT did against the Eagles.

I cannot state this strongly enough: LDT was absolutely fantastic against the Eagles. He was the best offensive lineman on the field for Kansas City (even better than my guy Mitch Morse, due to a couple of losses Morse took in pass protection).

Like I indicated before, a loss percentage below 10 percent is acceptable to me as an average. Against good competition I expect that number to climb a bit. LDT posted a phenomenal 5.7 percent loss percentage, which would be great against even a bad team. Against a front like the Eagles? That’s unreal.

I think Witzmann will be better as the season progresses but it would be nice if Ehinger could come back and beat him out at the position.

But considering he's been inactive, it might be a while before he's able to challenge for the position.

Yeah I think they'll keep him out as long as they can until he's fully ready to go

We were the only team that put a claim in for Witzmann. The only team that wanted this guy and look at him now?

Goddamn is Andy and this staff good at developing players.
