Yep we'll be fine at LG. Last year it was just a below average Witzmann, this year it'll be a competition between Ehinger, Witzmann and I bet a later draft pick and I bet Ehinger takes it.
Hopefully we can actually stay healthy on the OL this year too. Although Fisher and Schwartz didn't miss a game last year...that needs to continue because I don't have alot of confidence in our backup tackles.

Even if Ehinger is just okay, it's better than Witzmann's below average play last year.

That would be nice...Are you advocating for taking a LG pretty early in the draft?

Not sure why people bitch about Ehinger. He was our 2nd best technician on the OL 2 years ago and was rock solid in pass pro. We also averaged about a half a yard more in the run game in his 5 games that year than when he was out.
Dude had a horrible knee injury that was never going to have him completely ready last season. He’s gained more muscle and now has a full offseason without rehab to get his legs strong again. Also dumb to hate on Witzmann. That guy was a tackle who was forced to play G with no experience. It’s not easy at all to just change positions.

I wonder if the Chiefs might consider picking up Dylan Cantrell. Played together in high school with Mahomes and roommates at Tech. Cantrell is a big receiver, not a burner, but has great hands and is great athlete overall. He had the best SPARQ score of any receiver at the Combine. A big possession guy with great leaping ability would be nice to have if Kelce gets hurt again.

People act like Witzmann was the worst thing ever last year. He will make the final 53 and he might even end up starting again if he's taken what he learned last year as a full time starter and improves this year. They complain about the run blocking and lay all of the blame on Witzmann, and while he wasn't necessarily great, I think people are just looking for a guy to blame. Mitch Morse and Eric Fisher were probably just as much responsible for our midseason running woes as Witzmann was. |

it's hard to complain about an offensive line that had the leagues most productive running back

Looks like Mahomes is out in LA doing some sort of promotion/photo shoot work for Adidas and EastBay.
Star in the making. |

So I know this topic comes up every now and then, but with our new offensive weapons, I think maybe we should revisit the topic: Should we punt less?
Here is an interesting video from 538 that features Pulaski Academy (HS) who *never* punts the ball. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...cid=538twitter |

True in a sense but a closer look shows that the stretch where our run game disappeared damn near cost us the playoffs. Running is also only half their responsibility.

I’ve always believed if you had a shitty defense & your offense was spectacular, that punting is only giving your opponent an advantage.
