Dude had a horrible knee injury that was never going to have him completely ready last season. He’s gained more muscle and now has a full offseason without rehab to get his legs strong again.
Also dumb to hate on Witzmann. That guy was a tackle who was forced to play G with no experience. It’s not easy at all to just change positions.

That's not to say the Chiefs have been great at LG ever since Brian Waters moved on, because they haven't. But Witzmann was MUCH better than Zach Fulton at LG, and he was a **** ton better than Mike McGlynn.
People act like Witzmann was the worst thing ever last year. He will make the final 53 and he might even end up starting again if he's taken what he learned last year as a full time starter and improves this year. They complain about the run blocking and lay all of the blame on Witzmann, and while he wasn't necessarily great, I think people are just looking for a guy to blame.
Mitch Morse and Eric Fisher were probably just as much responsible for our midseason running woes as Witzmann was.
