Whatever it may be I have 100% confidence in breach to fix this hole. He has a plan and will execute it come hell or high water. I’m not that concerned at this point.

I still think it’s possible Wills can be a hit with a fresh start.

If I’m doing the number game thing, finding a way to get Humphries AND Wills is something I’m interested in. That gives you several guys to throw at LT and plenty of reason to think at least one will work at RG.

Has Wills ever been given a shot at arr in the NFL? He played exclusively there in college. Maybe he’s one of those dudes who can’t flip his footwork or punch.

Jackson looks like a better athlete than Orlando Brown, when I’ve seen him play. But maybe some of that is the system.

Still, they thought they could win with Brown/account for his shortcomings and still operate a great offense. So I could see them being willing to do that again …

This is proof Jackson is by far the best option. He'd easily be Mahomes best LT hes ever had. Shocking everyone isn't excited about this possibilty.

Matt Miller-“with the top 6 tackle prospects in this class, I’ve had a scout say ‘yeah they might be a Guard’”

Even Matt Miller said he’d go the veteran route if he was Veach.

It’s a huge projection to say that.

He’s never been asked to do near as hard of a job as Andy asks of his tackles. It could be fine, it could be disaster.

I don’t think it’s realistic that humphries would sign on to be a backup, let alone be cool with backup money. I do think he’d be open to signing with us to be a starter either with starter money or a short term prove it deal.

Good find. I agree I’m not a fan of Jackson. The price tag for him is very scary

How about this for a possible solution - Andy Reid should maybe quit being so ****ing stubborn for a change and design the offense in 2025 around not asking the OTs to do so much with such little help? I'm fully on board with upgrading at LT as I've made it well known on here, but Jesus Christ could their coaches at least help them to not look so bad? I can't fully blame the OL either when most coaches who have an OL that can't hold up in pass blocking would lean on the run game to keep the DL honest. We simply refuse to do that, even well before the Super Bowl. I know we didn't quite have the RB talent this year, well go ahead and finally invest in some decent talent there.

It seems like they sometimes try to make it as difficult as possible for themselves.

Boy, you sure have posted more in the last week than you have in the last 3 ****ing years. It's almost as if you've just been waiting for the opportunity to bitch non-stop.

because it hasn't happened yet. There is a chance he could get tagged or bet too much out of our price range. Once the Chiefs sign him, then we can get excited.

It's the offseason, I don't have games to watch. Sorry, I think the SB embarassment is deserving of some significant scrutiny, not that anything I say actually matters of course.

I'm giving them the benefit of admitting it is going to be incredibly difficult to address OT, is it too much to ask that if they cannot adequately improve OT to at least alter the offensive system to make it easier on the OTs? I mean, it's been discussed in depth on here that they seemingly gave little to no help to Suamataia and then turned around and gave more help to Morris and others when they played. I'm no expert on this at all, but I've seen mention that their vertical set usage has made it more difficult at times and Taylor has often telegraphed that it's a pass play. It sure seems like there is a lot of wiggle room from coaching and design of the offense to make life easier on the players. Am I wrong?

I'd much rather take my chances with him than a known below average asset like Robinson or broken down vets in the twilight of their careers like Humphries or Stanley.

It gets to a point where all these veteran options leave much to be desired and the draft is apparently less than at the position that you start to ask, what if they just went WR/TE/RB with two of their first picks (because they are BPA), and just say **** you you can’t cover all our guys.

Like IDK, but it seems we are headed toward another risk at the LT position, not because they want to, but because there aren’t enough supply. If you’re going to be stuck with a question mark there no matter what, might as well stress defenses any other way you can.

If I can get the ball out in the hands of Rice/Worthy/insert explosive RB+WR who are also added to the roster, that’s tough to contend with especially when you consider no matter what we should be better at LT next year.

Jackson has a much higher ceiling than all the rest and I don't see his floor being too much lower in a worst case scenario. Humphries and Stanley are almost definitely missing games with injury and Robinson just isn't very good regardless.

This is honestly how I've been feeling too. Just think how much Rice alone helps in the SB. They just didn't have that easy button, and that hurt as much as the OL. Now imagine if they had a stud RB they could lean on too. If they can just be adequate there, with more weapons, the offense will be back to elite.
