Allen is arguably the best interior pass rusher in the AFC not named Chris Jones and Kingsley handled him with no college or NFL experience at G. I can see why they were very happy with that tape.
It feels like Kingsley’s size, agility and strength give him an advantage there and his footwork, speed-to-power on the edge and hand technique issues are minimized playing inside.
His movement for a guy that big was his best asset as well, which I’m sure Andy will love for screens and pulling.
I think they really are high on Kingsley and it would take a major letdown for him to not start at LG IMO

Yes, long-term, the POTENTIAL of a left side of Simmons and Suamataia is... tasty.
Athleticism, movement. strength. There's a lot to dream on, there. Like, best LT-LG-C combination in the NFL dreams.
Like I said yesterday, they've created possibilities.
Maybe Simmons plays his way into LT by midseason and you have to shuffle things around. If that happens, they will have competition available at LG and RT, which is a positive. They'll work guys through this and have a plan.
A fully healthy and 100 percent (or 98 percent) the same Josh Simmons is good enough to force his way in at LT in the middle of the season, even without an injury.
