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

You sound like a Patriots fan.

ROUSSEAU!!!

Maybe you could bleat about AJ Espenesa next. SCARY

There you go using that word again.

The ONLY time I've used that word is to respond to you and others like you that are absolutely terrified that the Chiefs will put someone at LT other than Thuney.

Nice try Junior, but you're no match for me.

All the bleating is NONSENSE. This is not a more difficult matchup for us, at ALL.

Is it expected that they're playing Thuney at LT? Is the Humphries experiment over & merely a depth piece at this point?

There's very little chance, if any, they change things now.

Saw an article where the Bills have been running jumbo sets (6 lineman) more and more frequently. It is something that was discussed here several times even before they signed DJ.

I doubt Andy would do it, but I could see us really benefiting from using it on some drives to run it down their throats, with play action off of it. Kareem would be perfect in that set up.

The Chiefs OUTPERFORMED relative to the first game.

You're such a dishonest bitch. You're subtracting the end of half and end of game drives for the last game, but not the first one. The Chiefs had 52 seconds at the end of the half to score and actually got a FG, so take those points away and both the end of half drives.

So game one they scored on 4/7 drives. 3.4 points per drive

Leave the end of half drive and it's 5/8 and 3.4 ppd still.

Also if they needed it in game one they score a TD at the end there.

The offensive performance wasn't better at all.

We dont need or want to run the ball against the Bills. Their secondary is suspect at best. We will win passing the ball, not running the ball.

Pissing on Thuney?

The mods should change your name to Hyperbole Parties.

You can't even get your facts straight. You have to take out kneel downs and punter runs.

The Chiefs offense played an effective, productive game against an elite defense. You don't score on 5 of 7 drives without good LT play.

The stats are the stats dummy. If you think 78 yards is anything special then you're still in total denial. We scored 23 fecking points against a defense the damn Titans put 32 points on. Please get real and stop acting like they were the Steele curtain.

I have been for Thuney at LT since we made the switch but he def did not have a good game against the Texans.

That said, and there's guys in this argument that won't accept this....if Humphries was an actual upgrade over Thuney HE'D BE PLAYING. Facts.

He wasn't great against the Chargers. Then got hurt.

Then was just ok for a half against the Broncos. Then absolutely terrible for a half.

We're in the AFCCG....it's absurd that some want to talk about switching left tackles to a guy that has shown the above this season

Pretty much agree with all of this.

Look, I was one of the drivers of the DJ train. But the time to make that change was during the bye week, not now.

For better or worse, it's gonna be Thuney at LT. We just have to hope he plays better than he did last Sunday.

I think he will. I think the offense as a whole will. They're not losing this game.

My god, dude. They averaged 4.3 YPC. Attempts were low because the game was compressed. It was like playing Madden with 5 minute quarters. Get a grip and a brain.

The Texans have an ELITE defense. The offense did BETTER against them this time out.

We don't have a lot of complete information. We really rushed him before he was at all ready vs the chargers because wanya made it an emergency. He predictably got hurt. The next best option would have been to start him on a short week, then turn him around for a second short week. That meant Denver was the ideal condition to play him and he was surrounded by a bunch of backups.

Thuney was the understandable call last week because he was the "hot hand." And humphries is still an unknown. That is no longer the case. Our safe option is now also risky because thuney is unsurprisingly showing some physical limitations but also because the bills have Ed Oliver. I'd rather see us stout on the inside this week.

If we're talking about a pure LT swap out, yeah huge risk. Thuney is way too good at either position to be benched. But this ain't about that. This is about knowing you have a guaranteed massive upgrade at LG if you bump your LT over to a different position.
