If he can handle it, that would be great. Can he? Handle it?

Interesting thought.

Big guys do generally need more time after ACLs.

I could see the pathway to, "let's sign DJ for $8M instead of signing Cam Robinson for $20M who may not be any better"... especially if/when BAL re-signs Stanley.

And then if LT is your BPA in the draft, you still do that.

Isn't that still a lot of gambling???? We did that this year.

It also helps that nobody fears any RB on this team this year.

The Chiefs are easy to defend when you have a consistent pass rush. We saw this against Denver and LAC.

Yep. Its why shit teams gave KC more problems than they should have.

I don't think there's any outcome that isn't a gamble. Not in terms of a singular player.

We could throw numbers at the position, that's the best you could do as far as mitigating risk.

This.

Trade for Jake Matthews… a proven/durable LT.

Penix is left handed, Falcons don’t need an expensive LT anymore.

This was my thought.

A guy without an injury history that is SOLID. Shouldn't break the bank.

From there we can keep Humphries and see how that works out as depth but we just cannot gamble again.

No thanks.

It also helps that coaching seems unwilling to adjust. Where were the screens, draws, and quick outs to stymie the rush?

Matthews has the genetics to play another 10 years/slightly joking

What you said is objectively true but not inherently. There were ways to get Worthy and Hollywood involved. It’s not like they completely didn’t try either. They just wasted many early downs on concepts designed for guys who were too slow or too long developing.

You can call that a personnel issue but when you’re trying force a square peg into a round hole it’s really not. Especially when you’re staring down the barrel of 24-0. At that point if you think it’s just execution, you’re just a dumbass.

I agree with the RB issue they need to draft one in the second round who can be a workhorse back. Not some slight build guy. I’d be going after Hampton or Johnson.

I don’t like it.

I’m just not sure what outcome we’re gonna love. Veach is going to have to be a magician to get this solidified with a high degree of confidence.

It certainly isn't enough on its own.


If we also trade up for a LT prospect or with a team that wants to rebuild and gain picks then it's fine as an additional insurance move if the $$$ are right.

This Is (probably) the Way

He got absolutely shafted upon his arrival here, he deserves a full chance to go earn it with a full program under his belt

We JUST did it and it failed spectacularly. Want a bridge player, get someone else. Want a starter, you can do better.
