Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]

[SHOWTIME]

Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

Exactly the case.

Grunhard on 810 right now is adamant it’s going to be Thuney at tackle.. For whatever it’s worth..

I still contend that nothing on 810 is worth a shit.

The Chiefs absolutely cut them off at the knees.

It might end up being Thuney, but Grunhard knows precisely ****-all about it. His guess is as good as anyone's on this board.

I would think he would know more than a bunch of morons on a message board.. But I don’t care as long as we get the win..

I would say his guess is more educated but really don't think he has inside insight. Just like Pete Sweeney, their job is to create conversation/clicks. Its all speculation. None of them are even saying it is. When someone even says it WILL be I'll pay more attention.

I will be shocked if it is not Humphries at Tackle to start. This ultimately would be our best lineup if we can win against Houston and give him one more week with the starters to get the rust off and up to game shape. If it's obviously is a fail, Andy will pull the rip chord and move Thuney back out. In the long run, we should hope Thuney is at LG, and Humphries is at tackle, because if that works, we will be much better for the AFCCG and Super Bowl against much stiffer competition.

This makes perfect sense to me. But there is a “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it “ attitude that makes sense to me too.. A lot of former players I’ve heard interviewed are in the Thuney camp..
Ultimately Andy will do want Patrick is most comfortable with.. Don’t think it’s a one person decision..

That's just the thing.

People keep saying it isn't broke but they're not being honest with themselves.

All you have to do is watch Thunder play and you instantly realize he's not a LT.

They changed the offense to accommodate Thuney. They also didn't play any teams that could really exploit Caliendo.

This is the playoffs. Teams will absolutely exploit every weakness. Make no mistake, Thuney at LT may not be completely broken but it absolutely is not fixed.

Not sure the offensive change was totally about Thuney. I really believe a lot of it had to do with Hollywood and Worthy skills sets and being on the field together Hollywood is able to get open quicker and able to run after the catch. Worthy they have been slowly expanding his route tree. With both of them on the field it going to be dificult to guard them in space. Putting the ball in their hands quickly puts a lot of pressure on the Dee. We have not had that with our other Wr.

I've watched those games more than once. The play calling was obviously different.

Thuney starting

#Chiefs plan to start Joe Thuney at left tackle Saturday vs. #Texans, per sources. D.J. Humphries is healthy, but Thuney, a Pro Bowl guard, flourished in tackle relief while Humphries was hurt. So, Chiefs prepared to ride the hot hand. pic.twitter.com/ep1vvU8VGL

We attempted more mid and long range passes against Pitt and Houston than we did against SD when Humphries played 85% of the game.

All these narratives that Thuney hurt the long passing game, caused a smaller playbook and hurt the run game are all bunk not supported by the actual stats.

[kysirsoze]

I've always been on the side of whatever they decide I'm happy with. If Reid, Nagy, and likely Mahomes like Thuney at LT, then let's do it.

[MIAdragon]

Yes I know look at the teams past success, but I can't help but question this decision.
