*****The Kingsley Suamataia Thread*****

[Dante84]

More to come!

Spoiler!

Man!!!! I love Andy Reid. The @Chiefs and Andy Reid are offensive line savants. Kingsley Suamataia has big time potential. I think he he can be awesome guard or tackle. Just needs a little technique work. He is an aggressive killer who is great athlete.

Kingsley Suamataia is a versatile offensive tackle who split his 1,300 career snaps at BYU almost exactly down the middle between left and right tackle.

My favorite line from Dane Brugler's draft guide: "He delivers more pancakes than Denny's" ��

Kingsley Sumataia | OT | BYU

Traitsy OT w/ great size+athleticism+strengt. Easy range in the run game to pull or climb to landmarks or hit set points in slide. Patient hand usage to stay square and trust his lateral agility. Pad level & overall technique should develop in NFL. pic.twitter.com/p9zOJEuMkr

Yeah, he needs to start grabbing pass rushers instead of giving them free shots on Mahomes.

Kingsley looks like he put on pads for the first time this week, and had someone show him kinda what to do, then tossed him onto an NFL field.

There are plays where he literally doesn't even TOUCH HIS MAN. It's insane to watch. The dude is the WORST rookie LT I've literally ever seen.

He was a 2nd round pick. He should at least be able to get his hands on his guy. Holy shit.

Teams throw rookie tackles out there all the time, many of whom were much lower picks. I can honestly say I can’t remember a game, at least recently, where I saw a tackle look worse than he did today.

I get that he’s raw, but I can’t even fathom going into next season with him projected as anything more than a backup, and that really sucks. Thank God Morris has progressed, and him doing so gives me hope for Kingsley, but man, he was just so bad. Pat looked like a totally different player with him out there.

[Gary Cooper]

Sounds like you guys are saying Wanya is Willie Roaf compared to Kingsley.

[BigCatDaddy]

He's hot ass. Needs to sit for the rest of the year and learn.

Sign Smith incase Morris goes down again which he seems somewhat prone to do.

Chris Jones is getting held all game every game. Quite often the refs won't even call anything at all and even if they do it's the far better alternative than what Kingsley allowed to happen today.

[Kman34]

His footwork is shit.. What the **** has he been working on since week two??? What ever it was it sure didn't help.. Slow feet..

[kysirsoze]

We gotta sign somebody. I know the veterans out there aren't ideal, but we need some level of competence if Morris has to come out. Right now it looks like a significant Morris injury ends the threepeat bid.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Honestly this is how bad Wanya was last year. There is hope but it's not looking good rn. He's making Donovan Smith look like a HOF.

There’s no help coming.

[Gary Cooper]

I hear lots of posters asking for Smith or Bakhtiari.

Both are injury prone and that's when they were playing and in shape.

It can't be easy for a LT to just step in after sitting on the couch all year and start blocking 300 pound men. Did either player even having a training camp somewhere?

Chiefs can’t be stubborn and will HAVE to give him help

Maybe Denver was paying him under the table

You sign Smith as a backup to Wanya and hope you don't need him and in case you do, he'll have practiced some and got into football shape.

Some guys stay in shape just in case they get a call and they can make a million for half a seasons work. I don't know if these guys have done that but it wouldn't hurt to find out.

That's why you sign them and get them in the building. Morris is the starter, we just need competent back up play. Kingsley is just flat out not ready to play in the NFL.
