Chiefs Ryan McKee could be our swing tackle. Who? - Page 3

So, here's something ****ed up.

The backup line looked extremely good on Thursday. I've argued before on this forum that this is the best backup line we've had in my time as a Chiefs fan.

This was the line that slaughtered on Thursday:

LT: Ryan Harris
LG: Ricky Henry
C: Eric Kush
RG: Rishaw Johnson
RT: Ryan McKee

Give these guys a round of applause. They played extremely well. I think the lowest grade would go to Eric Kush, but even then I'd grade him about a B.

But I think, the really ****ed up thing is, some UDFA named Ryan McKee deserves consideration to be the Chiefs' swing tackle, over more established vets like Ryan Harris and J'Marcus Webb.

McKee played his nutsack off. He looks a bit slender, like Eric Fisher did last year, but he is extremely athletic and protects the edge very well. I graded him out as an A.

This. It wasn't working for the first ten minutes or so at aol and half the time when it did work it was very blurry looking.

I always thought any idiot can grade shit. Exhibit A: me. I wasn't aware it was a term that denoted expertise.

I grade this response an F

That's some faulty-ass reasoning of Nick Jacobs' part then if that's what he based his evaluation on.

That's going to be the take from 80+% of people who don't have a coaching background.

Yes, scheme accounts for a lot more than simple "If X is a starter and Y is his backup, so clearly Y isn't good enough to replace Z at a different position." Or even "B catches everything thrown his way so he should replace A even though B can't block downfield to save his life and it's a team that relies a lot on that."
