Up close with Lucas Niang workouts with Bx Movement

[Chiefshrink]

For as much grief as I have given this kid for taking the C-19 out, glad he has at least been working on o-line techniques.

You know, for a bunch of people who are willing to believe any conspiracy theory at all you're pretty naive when it comes to spotting a very obvious plan.

To be fair, though, srvy is really ****ing stupid.

Not as stupid as your love affair with Austin Reiter. I guess your new blowie is gonna be Niang.

Brian Waters:
6-2
32 inch arm

Lucas Niang
6-6
34.25 inch arms

Eric Fisher
6-7
34.5 inch arms

Mitchell Schwartz
6-5
33.5 inch arms

In terms of height/length, Niang is a LOT closer to Eric Fisher than Waters.

He just has a thickly-built torso, which hides some of his height/length in the eye test.

This is some quality info. HE WILL BE OUR LEFT TACKLE

[ModSocks]

I think Niang will be our swing tackle.

I still think the Chiefs are planning on moving that 1st round pick for a quality, proven starter. Remmers or Long will start at RT.

My prediction for the starting 2021 OL:

LT: Brown/Tunsil/Some other young Vet LT (trade)
LG: Thuney
C: Blythe
RG: LDT
RT: Long

Swing T: Niang/Remmers

[RealSNR]

Am I the only one who's bleh on a Tunsil trade?

He wasn't the greatest last year. Nobody was on that Texans team, but he was kind of a big disappointment for that team considering what they spent on his contract and how costly that future 1st round pick ended up becoming.

I know beggars can't be choosers, but I'd rather take a chance on a rookie, and if he pans out, we'd have a decent starter with 5 cost-controlled years. Instead of Tunsil on a Trent Williams-type deal and we have to give up our 1st round pick. Yes, that rookie will also cost us our 1st rounder (plus extra if we have to trade up) but at least if he's a bust, we have cap resources to fix the problem next year. If we trade for Tunsil and he plays like last year? Effff.

I dont think they trade for brown or tunsil personally. And i think if Niang is healthy theres no way Remmers beats him out.

Reiter was a good center. If the Chiefs found another guy to do the job, that works as well. I'm not going to blindly shit on a guy for playing well, though. If that's what you consider a "love affair", so be it.

Don’t you think Reiter still being a FA might be because he isn’t that good? Sure there are other players many of us have been clamoring for like Okung who are still free agents, but that’s mostly because they have had injury issues. Reiter has been pretty healthy and is still sitting on the market. You’d think someone would have grabbed him by now if he was valued as a quality starting center.

I'm guessing he's asking for too much money.

First thing I noticed while watching the tape.

1st step is the right leg and it's pushing deep. Evidently, the Chiefs told him to work on RT.

[htismaqe]

Bust!

[Hoover]

I don't understand why everyone thinks Niang is nothing more than depth at this point.

If he has a good camp, there is no way they are going to reserve him to be a swing tackle. Niang is part of the long term future for the Chiefs, they are not going to have him on the bench over two dudes on 1 year contracts.

3rd round tackles can't be starters.

stop crying

What is the difference between someone who assumes every player is going to be awesome and someone who assumes they are going to bust?


If Niang is really that good then he cost us a Super Bowl when he opted out.
