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

I haven't paid any attention to this thread. I didn't know there was an actual debate about this shit.

We're in the playoffs, guys. The regular season is over. The time to bring Humphries back into the mix has passed. An offensive line isn't a ****ing basketball lineup. You don't adjust minutes for some of your guys and switch around their positions based on who you're facing or matching up against. It's only been a few weeks, but we've been looking the best on offense with Thuney and Caliendo at LT and LG respectively. Don't switch guys out unless you have to. Keep what little continuity you've got, FFS.

If we make it past Buffalo, the interior matchup will only get worse against Daron Payne or that guy from the Eagles who is somehow able to play football when he should be rotting in prison for ****ing manslaughter. But that doesn't mean you adjust the lineup to shore up the interior and sacrifice that boost in blindside protection. You can claim that boost isn't that great of an improvement, but try telling that to Mahomes, man. He hasn't had any trust in his blindside protector all goddamn year, and I think it's pretty clear our offense has looked its best when Thuney has been at LT. Mahomes is more comfortable. I'd challenge anybody to disagree with that. When Mahomes is more comfortable, he'll do more Mahomes shit. Plain and simple. And I don't think Thuney at LG is going to give him that same confidence if he has to go back to an unknown in Humphries at LT.

But isn’t he their sack leader on the year with 8?

(Don’t tell anyone, but he got nearly half of those in the first game of the year then went on to record 5 sacks in the remaining 16 games)

Every NFL talking head is seeing the same thing. Thuney is a middling to poor LT. Caliendo Is a step down from Joe so it's weakened the WHOLE left side which forces them to send help snd leaves Taylor and Smith on an Island. Plus it's hurting the run game in the process. Folks who say "you can't change it now" are utterly ridiculous. This line gave up a 40% PRESSURE RATE last game and ran the ball poorly. So wtf have we got to lose exactly? Do people really think DJ would be worse than giving up two sacks and a 15% pressure rate like Joe did? Imo no way. And what makes it even more concerning is Joe gave up that stuff and got help during the game.

Not advocating for making a change now, but to say you can’t is ridiculous. What if someone gets hurt during the game? They will have to make a change and play it on the fly without even practicing the reps during the week in that alignment.

And they’d still kick ass, because Chiefs.

I’m more afraid of Jean Jacques Rousseau as a pass rusher than I am Greg Rousseau

Most in this thread are fine with just sticking with what works and know that a change is a pretty big risk. I don't think there are many insisting a change needs to be made or panicking if it doesn't.

But this is a unique situation that challenges some of that logic. This isnt some wholesale change. Actually the biggest change was the one where we plugged a backup in at OG and moved our LG out of position. That's two changes and we're still working off a small sample size. as we saw last week there's still reason to worry the Houston game was more a regression to the mean than just a one off. Not that Houston is the norm, but some of the flaws you might expect when a guard plays OT started to expose themselves. when that breaks down, mahomes definitely did not look comfortable.

If humphries plays better than wanya (low bar) then it is our original offensive line we played the majority of the season except for one position. It's not all that radical of a change. And right now all our info on if humphries can do this are based on a similarly small sample, but with unusually bad circumstances. Because I think the bigger question mark is if humphries can actually get the job done
