Does Veach give him a call?

The coaches want DJ out there for a reason. But I'm sure you know better than they do. |

I'd like to know what dude saw, he watched a dude knocking off rust in the altitude of Denver while having Kingsley as his LG, all things considered he performed pretty well.

I'm sure he'll be out there after that command performance in Denver.

Yea pretty obvious why they want him out there, even if you like quick passing, rhythm, on time and all that...Mahomes holding the ball and breaking the pocket is where the big game changing plays come from.

Obviously the best solution is to play our elite LG at LT where he's an average player so our run game suffers, you gotta do it right?

Its interesting -- I've said all season that I don't think Andy 'saves the good plays' rather I think he's a guy who won't spam the ones that work in the regular season.
But I'm not seeing that against Houston and Pitt. Those all look like spamming a couple of very similar concepts and they all look to be largely built around a smash sort of concept. Slot fades, corner/flats -- stuff like that. And the reason Andy doesn't spam that stuff is that he doesn't want to give coaches the tape to diagnose/attack them. I mean if I'm watching those weeks and I'm a DC, I'm coming out with a heavy Cover 3 gameplan because about none of what I'm seeing there should work against that. But think about those bunch sets we like that we LOVE running the slot crosser from -- we can't run that with the short drops and that stuff MURDERS Cover 3. With Thuney, I think we give teams about 60% as much to worry about. From a schematic standpoint, it's not working with one hand behind your back, but maybe with one hand in a cast or something. Now execution takes priority over scheme. If you just can't execute the whole playbook, so be it. I'm just not convinced that's the case. Or not convinced it's any more likely to be the case with Humphries at LT than Thuney.

It's you who are the coward for wanting to abandon the great and powerful Joe Thuney.

I mean I've discussed stats, traits, technique and scheme in this thread. I've conceded that the risk is real and I may not even be willing to take it. Your response is "He got manhandled" When it's pointed out that hey - there are clips in this very thread showing that he had a great deal many very good reps and on the bad reps there have been suggestions made as to why that may have been communications problems. Your response is "I know what I saw" And when your intransigence is pointed it its...."well that's just hyperbole..." I mean keep on keepin' on, brotha. You're covering yourself in glory here. The rest of us will just go on talking about actual football around you. Because you clearly know all you need to know and as such, I probably wouldn't put any more effort into the conversation were I you...

The flip side of that is that fretting that he will play poorly doesn’t mean that will… no matter how much hyperbole you put into it!!!

I mean I'm fairly certain I've said that he was solid but unspectacular and struggled more in the second half than then first. I've said that Thuney has done yeoman's work in salvaging the position of late while the coaching staff did well to work around his shortcomings. I know I didn't say stuff like "Humphries got manhandled" at any point. Maybe I just don't know the word as well as I thought I did. Because I see plenty of hyperbole in this thread...but it ain't from my side of this discussion...
