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

Chris jones is not as good vs the run as mike pennell.
You guys look at players as better vs worse too often and it’s too black and white. Different players have different skill sets. Chris jones is maybe the second best pass rushing dt of all time to Warren sapp. |

You would think three Super Bowl wins in 5 seasons might earn him that respect, but I guess not. As I said like 9 pages ago, if Humphries is anywhere near healthy, this is not a difficult decision. If it's Thuney, it's because Humphries is not able to go. |

You don't have to be an All-Pro DT to be disruptive was my point. |

The best pass rushing defensive tackle of all time is Jon Randle. From a defensive tackle pass rushing standpoint alone, Donald can't carry his jock. |

Ooh, that's another good pick.

Bringing this back full circle, I'm literally on the "I'm just gonna trust Andy" bench.
If we start DJ it means Andy feels like he gives us the best chance. If we start Joe, it means that Andy didn't see enough in these two weeks to make him feel like he could start DJ. That said, the more I thought about this the more I did think that the BEST case is just "ok" play from Humphrey at LT, and then all pro play at LG. So ya'll can't say I'm dogmatic. But we can't even have sub par play out of Humprhies. It doesn't have to be pro bowl, but it can't be the shit we've dealt with all year and he can't have 3-4 plays like he had against denver. |

If Mahomes trusts DJ enough to keep his eyes downfield and get the ball out then DJ will be the starting LT. I think that's the biggest key. I feel like he was more comfortable with Thuney in that spot than he has been all season. Not saying I want Thuney there, I'd rather have him at his all-pro position, but Mahomes seemed to play his best the last couple games.

Obviously the best case scenario involves Humphries.
I don't care. We arent a 7 seed. We are the best team in football. Limiting our floor gets us to the Super Bowl. It's certainly possible Humphries is the better choice, but I know, KNOW, Thuney at LT is easily good enough to win a Super Bowl. |
