Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries Medically Cleared [signed by Chiefs]

[SHOWTIME]

Does Veach give him a call?

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

Yeah, I really think he’s not going to get in the lineup for a while.. Maybe the last 3 games and I think that’s a stretch too.. Hope I’m wrong but it’s not easy to come back from a ACL and play at the same level you were at..

He's right though, the fact that they're even entertaining this with Andy's history and the OL tells you all you need to know.

One of four of those pressures is borderline and probably shouldn't be considered one at all. He had one pressure against the Bills. The last 2 games that's 4-5 pressures on 75 pass attempts. That's a 5.3% to 6.7% pressure rate.

Acting like replacing Morris is gonna make any difference when the right side gets ****ing destroyed is hilarious.

I think Morris is a guard. He's a powerful run blocker who struggles holding the edge against speed rushers. He might be a good replacement for Trey Smith.

4 pressures + a sack in one game is a pretty bad game.

Loved that pick and wished we'd got him at the time

Probably so.

Depending how Humphries looks and the draft board falls, won't shock me at all if next year it's:

LT - Humphries or another big investment

RG - Morris

Swing T - Kingsley

yup.

Hell he might be a better guard than Trey right now, who is just getting worked game after game.

I'd wonder if they kept Morris as the swing. Kingsley was so bad it feels like they'd need a position switch. I don't see how they can give him meaningful snaps to develop and take that chance. No idea how he'd look at RG, I suppose the argument would be he couldn't start there either

It's already confirmed he's starting against the Chargers.

If you want to absolve Morris of his suckage because Smith and Taylor have had a bad set of games recently go right ahead. Still won't change the fact that Wanya Morris is a liability on the field and Reid apparently thinks so little of him he's willing to plug and play a replacement mid December. Oh, and only even got the starting job because the rookie he lost it to just sucked even worse.

I would swap Kingsley and Morris
