Sure the OT transition isn't easy.. which is why they drafted a high character prospect that they feel will put in the work and improve as he develops. They clearly had scheme or talent doubts about their former RT to let him walk.
Biggest issue is, you have a LT prospect making a temporary RT transition, and he's doing it while battling through injuries. Add to that, KC naturally has lots of work to do still on getting all the OL,TE, and backs on the same page for exotic blitz pickups.
... but some are apparently freaking out and overreacting after a decent but underwhelming preseason game 1.. and a pretty awful preseason game 2 that featured uncharacteristic blitzes thrown at them.  |
None of the concepts used were particularly "exotic" or uncharacteristic. Personnel variations or specialized "rush" fronts weren't even used.
