Haley Q&A... talks about the effects of the weight loss on Albert

[ForeverChiefs58]

I liked Albert better when he was fat, out of shape, used poor technique, and was a better left tackle.

No shit. Albert's game is crap this year and you can blame Haley for that. Sometimes a player is better off being big and fat, especially on the OL.

I'm losing respect for Haley as a coach more and more every week.

Okay...we basically used a spread/pistol/shotgun formation for the last 14 games of the season in an effort to protect the quarterback. Does Albert look good last year because of the Pistol keeping guys off the QB or because he was big and fat?

Everyone around here loves the "pro set." Maybe Albert just ain't a pro set type of guy, especially at the left tackle spot. I mean, the dude was a left guard in college. And that means he's a LT in the pros? That usually doesn't translate. And I like Albert. But is this just another case of Carl/Herm and their staff ****ing up a draft?

Just throwing out some discussion points.

I agree if he is getting the job done at 340 why not leave it alone. If it aint broke don't fix it! With that said i'm still with holding judgement on Haley/Pioli until next year.

I won't judge wins and losses but, the moves to make us better.

His point was that if Albert lost the weight he would be forced to learn the technique he had neglected. All we're seeing now are the weaknesses he already had. If he is really supposed to be a franchise LT he needs some quickness and good feet. We knew we were going to get worse before we got better. Albert is a microcosm of that.
