Have we ever considered that Lucas Niang is a figment of our imaginations?

[Direckshun]

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.

CEH goes to IR and Niang gets elevated to the 53.

Will he play soon?

Unless there's an injury, I doubt it.

Exactly! Wanogho did a good job when Wylie got hurt. Had hoped the coaches were impressed enough to have him replace Wylie.

[htismaqe]

I think they see Prince as strictly a backup. I think when Niang is ready, he gets his starting job back.

[Direckshun]

Wanogho was helped so much and had real problems on the downs he wasn’t helped.

He’s got tools but I’m not sure that dog hunts.

[BossChief]

Pretty sure Andy said he’s not going to be the starter when he’s back, but you know how that goes. Wylie has been terrible, so they have to try to make the switch with at least a month before the playoffs to build cohesiveness on the right side and let Trey and Lucas build on communication.

He's not going to be the starter until he's 100% back. But once he is, I bet he's the starter again. Andy doesn't like for guys to lose their job to injuries but since Niang has had multiple injuries, that probably plays into the thought process too.

[Megatron96]

On average, it seems to take about 5-6 weeks for an OL to get in the groove. Figure Andy puts Niang on the field in a week or two. Assuming he's 100% healthy, of course.

GO CHIEFS

[BossChief]

Hopefully he gets healthy soon and can stay on the field and be an average to above average starter for the forseable future. He’s flashed ability to be a plus starter.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

I would imagine this is a wasted year for him, he'll work in slowly but won't be starting anytime soon.

Andy is obsessed with Andrew Wylie, I'm convinced he might be his bastard son and his ex-lover is telling him if he doesn't continue to start she's going to tell Andy's wife about their love child. I honestly don't even think he'd make another NFL roster besides this one, at least as nothing more than a backup guard. Certainly no other team would be starting him at RT.

[ToxSocks]

Wylie is the best RT we have on the roster right now. Deal with it.

Players like Wylie, Hitchens, Sorensen, Neimann and the like gain trust of the coaches in the film rooms and by being dependable to do what the coaches want them to do snd be where they are supposed to be snd are more mentally prepared to convince the coaches they will play their role.

It’s a balance between having a guy that’s physically superior that is a more impactful player and a player with inferior physical traits but is more mentally aware snd prepared to do what the coaches ask.

As a fan, it’s very frustrating at times, but to an extent I understand why coaches do it.
