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

It diminished the play of that entire side of the line for the benefit of upping our left tackle play from a catastrophe to merely “average.”

I'll take average left side over catastrophic LT play every day! I don't like the switch but we have no choice, do we?

If the Thuney at OT line holds up against the Steelers count me in as a believer.

Yes, fingers crossed!

I think he'll be fine against Pitt.

Steelers have Watt obviously, but I'm not too worried about their other rushers.

Hewyard is essentially a DT playing DE in that 3-4; that's the kind of guy Thuney has gone against his entire career.

Alex Highsmith is good, but he's more like Karlaftis in that I think he's a guy who makes a little chaos but isn't out there destroying guys. He's not someone that I think has the physical tools to dominate Thuney.

I worry more about the RT situation with Watt than I do LT. And we need Caliendo to be the guy he was against Cleveland and not the guy he was against Houston because Heyward COULD beat Caliendo up pretty good if he's at LG as seems most likely.

But I wouldn't waste any worry on Thuney.

Is Watt playing Wednesday? I know he plays on the other side, but he can wreck games like no pass rusher I've seen since the 90s.

I'm not ready to say he sucks at all, in fact I don't really blame him for how things played out... he was nowhere near being in football shape

Throwing him into live game action so quickly was a desperate, and ill conceived move... it was almost guaranteed to get him injured

Yeah, good point. Makes you wonder why they didn't move Thuney to LT earlier and ease Humphries in? Maybe in physicals he showed them he was ready to play a full game but that was overoptimistic in hindsight based on how long he was away from football.

Yeah man I was all about rushing him in there too

WE NEED HELP NOW!!1

But in hindsight it was almost always going to end badly in the short term, I mean OF COURSE he caught a bad hammy after having done jack shit for a year while rehabbing a serious injury... no camp, no preseason, and just a small handful of practices?

You're right they should've went to Thuney earlier, DJ didn't really have a chance... but I damn sure wanna see him out there in week 17

He played this weekend, so I'd assume so

No need to rush DJ now. He can rest up until the Denver game, and get a ton of reps between now and then in practice. Then hopefully he'll get that game to get some game time. Thuney is a great option to fall back on at least which is comforting to know going into the playoffs

Rather than go to thuney earlier they should have given Kingsley and Morris the help and game plan they’ve given thuney. We were still trying to develop deep non stop until thuney moved to lt. Now we’ve been an insanely effective quick pass offense. Thuneys getting all the help Morris and Kingsley never dreamed of. We could be in a very different situation had they helped Kingsley instead of letting him get raped over and over on an island.

Dude you can't be serious.

Please show the highlights of Thuney getting all this help.

Seriously? Look them up for yourself. Its easy. Most every pass play someone is helping out. They're giving Thuney a lot of help, like they should.

Now there is a plan and a fall back option should we need one.

We didn't have that before...

Humphries confirmed out tomorrow. I knew there was no way he would play especially if he didn't participate in the one walk through the had. Last time I listen to Staylor. He knows nothing about football.
