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

He's had like 3 weeks to get there, and the coaching staff is clearly saying he's not the guy. And you think he just needs more reps in a real game? My God. HE ISNT GOING TO START. Not in a single game in the playoffs. Unless Thuney gets hurt. We're rolling with Thuney at LT. The whole way |

I didn't like what I saw and I've been on the Thuney side as a result, but it is a damn shame he got that injury and didn't get more reps. No idea if he'd have returned to the form of a couple of years back, but it would've been pretty useful.

If its Humphries, start him and stick with him. If it's Thuney, stick with Thuney. |

Had they gone with Humphries, a tough half could've led to a switch, IMO. But going with Thuney tells you this is a ride or die situation. I just don't see them moving away from Thuney at LT unless Caliendo REALLY shits the bed and even then, they might just replace the LG. They've chosen their guy for the playoffs. Andy's OLs are always notoriously difficult to displace a guy from absent injury and it damn sure won't happen mid-playoffs. They explored it - he didn't earn their trust. Nothing that happens tomorrow will help him change that. And Thuney could have a bad game and it still wouldn't likely change THAT because he HAS earned their trust. This is what we got.

Ultimately what makes me most pleased with this is we know without shadow of a doubt that Mahomes is mentally comfortable with Joe. It’s been witnessed for a string of weeks.
And that’s all that really matters. Because if he’s not right mentally in terms of the trust factor, it doesn’t matter how good the LT is, the offense suffers mightily. Here at least you know that’s not gonna be the case. |

Have we started pounding the table for Humphries over Caliendo at LG?

Will Thuney give maybe enough to get it done? Sure, maybe. But make no mistake, he is not an NFL starter level Left Tackle. He's not. If he was, they'd have done this ages ago. He's not. |

Nonetheless Im glad we have him because we have absolutely no LT back up worth a shit. Great insurance policy and if there is a problem he's there. Last edited by BWillie; 01-17-2025 at 06:56 PM.. |

If he’s not capable of starting at LT, based on what we’ve seen from all the players available, then we simply don’t have one on the roster. Because he was a lot better than what Humphries has shown in his limited time.

We don't have one. It's obvious. They wouldn't be starting Thuney if we did.

As long as they keep the play calling they used, it will be enough. The 3-peat is still happening.

The biggest plot twist would be the Chiefs signing a left guard this offseason.
