We are average 5.2 yards per play, which is *by far* the worst of the Mahomes era and actually *below average* this year in the NFL. He's probably the worst starting LT in the league and kills drives.
I think you have to bring in one of the former starters who are on the street. [Reply]

National media guys that are generally respected here such as Dan Orlovsky and Chris Simms are saying the same thing about the Chiefs' tackles. [Reply]

Hanson
Caliendo
Thuney
Smith
Humphrey
Nourzad
And we've got one spot available with these guys returning or potentially returning at some point
Pacheco
Omenihu
Butker
Brown
Watson
Pacheco can take the open spot right now.
Butker replaces the current kicker.
Omenihu replaces?
Watson could replace Keith Taylor
Brown replaces?
To bring in Smith they'd have be prepared to go with eleven line-men?
A new CB could just replace Keith Taylor right now but the O-line situation is more challenging because Veach would effectively be waving the white flag on his two draft picks at this point.
I think the front office and Andy will certainly be having some tough conversations about these issues tbh.
Make Kingsley be hurt. Sign Smith or Baktiari.
I would even be in favor of having Tuney play over there. It can't get any worse. [Reply]
