Chiefs Have we ever considered that Lucas Niang is a figment of our imaginations? - Page 7

Direckshun · 08-19-2022, 09:23 AM

I think we're looking at this Niang situation all wrong, personally. At least those of us even aware of his "existence."

Personally, I've spent the entirety of his rookie contract so far waiting for him to make an impact, to be the right tackle this team needs, but mostly just to get off PUPs and IRs and make a damn difference for this team.

But something occurred to me. It's entirely possible we just collectively made him up?

You know the saying that if God didn't exist, mankind would make him up? I think that's what we've done with Niang.

We all wanted a decade-long starter at right tackle who never gave up a sack in college, and we somehow wanted this talent in the third round. So we just manifested his existence.

But it turns out that's the limit of our collective imagination, because while we can collectively imagine him, we can't actually create him. And so we have to spend seasons with Mike Remmers and Andrew Wylie and Gerod Christian at the spot.

I'm not even sure we selected him in the third round? I mean, was anybody actually there?

I think we've got this situation all wrong, guys. Lucas Niang is basically Harvey the six foot tall invisible rabbit.

TL;DR: I don't think Niang is a real person.

The breakdown was done by Seth Keysor via his Chief in the north substack.
And Seth is smarter and better at breaking down line play than 99.9 % of this forum...so yeah...I'll take his word over the opinions here. Prince was fine. But he wasn't better than Wylie at all when you watch the film breakdown.

Seth's breakdown didn't say prince had help every play. I don't recall that. It basically said the results were mixed. And yeah, he did get pushed around on some plays. He looked OK. Not great but not terrible, either. Just part of one game so small sample size. Is he better than Wylie? Perhaps or perhaps not.

Wylie blows goats, period. And there's nothing any of you can say that will make me not believe my own eyes in this case.

I SEEN'T IT.

Is Seth Wylie's brother-in-law?

True. Watch the comeback drive of the Bolts game for a sample. McKinnon either chipped or stayed into help on EVERY ****ING PLAY!!!!!

Oh, believe me when I say that I want to get Wylie off the field just as much as you. He's kind of an enigma. He will play OK on a few plays, even great on a play here and there. But then there's the plays where he just utterly stinks. And that's a problem. I just don't know if Prince would be an upgrade. I'd be willing to try, though.

But really I think if Niang can ever get healthy, I'm sure he's an upgrade.
