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

We shit on that dude so quickly on the basis of the ass kicking he took vs LV but he really did look competent for most of the season. Then the knee started barking at him. I think he can give us roughly what Thuney has - again, if the offense we've run the last 2 weeks is the offense we run - but there's just no time to find out. If DJ isn't up for the task, Thuney is your guy. But if we were to lose Caliendo for some reason, I'd rather move Thuney back into LG and Morris to LT than dick around with another LG.

You’re not doing that with a Left Tackle. That is far more important. If Thuney is playing better than anyone else at tackle (which he is) then he should absolutely start. If Humphries looks god then fine. But Andy isn’t going to start him if he looks somewhat shaky tomorrow |

Tomorrow game will be the tell tale for me. If he balls out against Nik Bonitto then I would consider putting him at left tackle. If he looks bad whiffing on blocks, giving up sacks, he’s the backup.

Thuney hasn't. I don't understand why the bar for Humphries is HIGHER than Thuney for some people. Folks, we aren't benching Thuney here. We're moving the best LG in football back to LG. The bar for doing that shouldn't be any higher than 'not obviously worse at LT' because we will be orders of magnitude better at LG if we make that move.

You'd be re-inserting him into the lineup at the position he'd played all year.

I think the running game definitely suffers with Thuney outside but it doesn't matter. Pat being upright and healthy is more important than a difference in YPC in the running game.

That being said the ceiling for Humpries at LT is definitely higher. He's not in game shape yet, he's already had an injury, but if he's able to get to 80% of what he was that's approaching a pro bowl player. Can he pull shit together this quickly with this little playing time? Don't know but I think everyone hopes so...

It's really not that hard. And again, Humphries only needs to look about as good as Thuney.

Your right.Tomorrow is the day where we can gamble with him being out there to see where he’s at. Hopefully he has a good showing. I understand he’s going to get beat some but I don’t want to see any bad whiffs where can’t even get a hand on a defender and gets the Qb killed. At least when Thuney gets beat he gets beat slow.

Maybe something to worry about before signing him for next year.
