Chiefs *****The Wanya Morris Thread***** - Page 23

More to come!

Wanya Morris was drafted with pick 92 of round 3 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 8.35 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 215 out of 1294 OT from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/KnzoH8NdfS pic.twitter.com/KZgxtMNcfb

Pick 95: Wanya Morris OT OU

The competition at RT isn't eye popping but it may be enough to feel comfortable to not reach. Adding another hat to the ring may be the move.

Morris has the length and natural movement the Chiefs often look for at OT. Clean up his hands & thrive pic.twitter.com/tDDr7f22NC

I don't think the OL is all on Heck. Taylor and D. Smith have always been awful run blockers. Nothing has changed there. T Smith and Creed have both played worse, maybe that's on them and Heck, but I think it's also, somewhat, the knock-on effects of Taylor and D Smith. on the IOL. OTs have been an utter s***show

I don’t think it’s all on him also , but it seems they step up and play when Reid calls them out and challenges them. Jawan gets penalized every game , the run game seems very predictable. They just look soft. Multiple times the running backs struggle just to get back to the line of scrimmage. It’s just a pure shit show..

The whole ****ing team looked like they would rather be at home on Christmas while the Raiders looked laser focused. Smith got killed the last time we played the Raiders. This whole team was off.

I saw Mahomes on the sideline tearing a new hole in the olines ass, while the oline coach was somewhere else eating ice cream!

That had me thinking that a big part of this just has to be attitude and effort. Theres maybe 3-4 hungry guys on that offense right now. Mahomes was pissed, Kelce was throwing his helemet, Pacheco gives 100% and Rice seemed to be without blame. I might move Richie James on that list. But largely most of the offense looked like they just couldnt do better than 70% effort on their best plays.

No one. The people who didn't want him to succeed just want to beat their chests. Everyone from what I saw were pleasantly surprised but realistic with expectations.

Yes but people also don't want to talk about how terrible Andy has been this year.

Smith back this week?

Yeah I think DJLN has a short memory. Wanya was bad yesterday but not as bad as that SB loss.

Also Wanogho would probably have stepped in before Wanya except he is on IR. Kinard is on the practice squad and who knows about CP's prince who was promised Lucas Niang.

That the Chiefs think enough of Morris to throw him to the wolves shows they have some hope for the kid. I can't think of an LT who didn't have some rookie lapses.

TheGuardian · 12-26-2023, 03:28 PM

Potentially the worst game I've ever seen by a tackle, rookie or not, was Morris yesterday.

Both in the run and pass he got his ass kicked ten ways until Sunday and then back again play after play. As soon as the ball was snapped on pass plays he didn't get deep enough in his set, and when he did get set, he get bull rushed over like a 5th grader.

He's garabge. I will say that now. I'll tell you why. There's a few positions where if you're going to ascend, you're naturally pretty good right out of the gate.

Running back and O-line and middle backer seem to be those positions because there's a lot of instincts and intangibles that go into being great there.

AT best the dude could be an ok backup down the line but he 100% is NOT some future left tackle. If any of you go back and watch the game you'll quickly find that he was the issue on literally almost every single run and pass play. IT was a domino effect he was so bad.

A complete turd pile.

All this after 2 1/2 starts
