Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]
Does Veach give him a call?

Look, I am all for doing what is best for the Chiefs. From my eyeball test, the past two weeks have looked pretty damm good. Brown may be a big reason for that as well. But everyone looks comfortable and the offense is rolling. Thuney doesn't appear to need as much help as some here think he is getting. |

Yeah, just further solidifies the point that LT is the top priority in the 2025 off-season. Our All Pro LG goes out and provides basic competence at the position while a barely replacement level JAG takes his spot and Mahomes looks the most comfortable he has all season.

I dont disagree that Humphries playing at a competent level would be an improvement, but we're basically banking on him being healthy and looking good against Denver, then the next time he plays live football is the playoffs. Is that enough time? Are we really going to switch it up at the 11th hour when there are virtually no guarantees when it comes to Humphries health and playing level?

I'm not even sure what people are debating at this point. Is that take controversial? |

Wasn’t Humphries as least as good as Thuney when he was in there for that one game. Or am I mis remembering ?

He got his ass kicked a few times, but he hadn't played football in a year. The hope is that he'd improve with a little time. Obviously the injury makes that tougher, though.

I'm finding hard to believe so many people are dead set on keeping Thuney out there, its a net plus if we can get him back to LG and get reasonable play from Humphries
Could be wrong we'll see but if I were a betting man, if DJ looks passable against Denver he will absolutely be the LT for the playoffs... Thuney at LT reminds me exactly of when Will Shields used to pull spot duty at LT He performed admirably, but for as great of a guard as he was he never looked like a natural out there |

You just have to throw Humphries out there against a talented Denver edge group and see how he does, then you decide.

If Thuney is getting the job done solo, and nobody has given any rebuttal (video) to show that he isn't, then keep what is working going. The offense is gelling right now. |

I'm not sure if Mahomes will allow anyone but Thuney play LT in the playoffs. I'm sure they will ask him who he feels most comfortable with after the Denver game and I doubt he's going to say a guy he's barely played with.
