Chiefs will need to adjust and figure this out
Another OL tweet but it’s interesting. Notice anything the Bills did?
A lot of times, including the last play of the game, they had 2 DL on one side of the OL crash hard and bull rush the G and T. They see Mahomes flushing out constantly. They crash the OL and flush Mahomes out the way they want and have a LB spy fly to that zone they force Mahomes to go to so he’s got instant pressure in his face. This also cuts off half of the field. Chargers did this in week 2 and Mahomes struggled badly against it. Bills copied that from Harbaugh and I expect other teams to do the same. |

We're also hitting a bit of a point where the conversation has to be had of how good of a line does this man need? Like some people think we need 5 all pros up there.
I do think the desire to get everyone into the route when you don't have a high end pass blocking LT is a scheme issue. |

The LT problem is bad but the IOL problem is more concerning bc of the talent we have there underperforming

They can still run their offense just do it under center more. Teams have to respect Kareem now even though he is not explosive he is still very productive so lean on that and do more PA.

Sweet jesus, Trey Smith got WORKED. I mean just mauled. You don't see Chris Jones routinely handle a guy as frequently as Oliver kicked the shit out of Smith. But yeah, lets keep blaming the OTs and Matt Nagy when the guy we have folks saying we should sign at a 'discount' of only $18 million in AAV is getting treated like a street free agent. Man - that's just gross.

The entire O-line has regressed. Even the run blocking is not as good as it was last year. Thuney will be 33 next year.

Again, why do folks treat these issues as mutually exclusive things? They're all pretty glaring issues currently. Trey Smith isn't regressing either, he's been good for a really bad game or two dating back to his rookie season.

Which is disappointing considering their contracts (or expected contract in Smith's case) and being among the league's top players at their position. Of course, the O-line is a unit, so if one or two pieces struggle it can affect the top players also. But there's enough talent and salary where they should figure it out. We have all-pros at several positions on that line.

Yeah, I’m mostly seeing our offensive line getting manhandled.
It does appear that they’re doing that hemmed in, mush rush a bit like we try to do against Lamar Jackson, but it’s only so effective against us because the OL is playing like ass. They simply need to do better across the board and Mahomes needs to focus on getting the ball out quickly and decisively. They will help each other out. |

Since Mahomes wants to move around anyway just call more plays where he's designed to roll out to the right.
If I remember right that's what he did on the missed deep ball to Worthy. |
