He was out with a neck issue last year that took longer to get right than expected. I imagine he would have been on a team if that was not an issue. [Reply]
Well, this dude was clearly a waste of time and hope.
Hope Veach sent Cam Robinson's agent a nice Christmas card this year, because Brett is going to need him to go easy on us when we have no choice other than to offer his client whatever it takes to get him to come here. [Reply]

The fact that the Vikings got Cam Robinson for a conditional 2026 5th while we were watching our 2nd round pick and then Wanya get their dicks knocked in the dirt is hilariously sad.
We then sent a conditional 6th to get Uche who doesn't even play smh [Reply]

Sure, I'll accept that.
But he didn't do an amazing job. Or a great job. Or even a good job. The performance we got out of our left tackle on Sunday was sub-standard. You can grade him on whatever curve you'd like but that fact will still need to be acknowledged.
It's not an indictment on Thuney at all - it's a word of caution for those that think that situation is in any way tenable long-term.
The worst part of it, and why I think the Chiefs are so (rightly) hesitant to make that move with Thuney, is that it also replaced our elite left guard with mediocre guard play on that side of the line. It diminished the play of that entire side of the line for the benefit of upping our left tackle play from a catastrophe to merely “average.” [Reply]
Andy Reid said Chamarri Connor (concussion protocol), DJ Humphries (left hamstring) & Chris Jones (calf) will not practice today, the Chiefs' lone practice before Wednesday's game against the Steelers.
Have to believe we’re getting to the point they’ll be sticking with Thuney at LT for the playoffs. You can’t just throw DJ out there rusty as hell for the postseason, that’s asking for disaster. Even if he plays next week, I’d be worried about just throwing him in there when it matters.
If we can clinch on Christmas and he can play every snap week 18 with Wentz starting and show he’s ready, I’d be good with that. However, if we’re playing for the #1 seed there’s no way you switch things up for that game, and at that point you’re not doing for the playoffs, either. Such a bummer, really wanted this guy to pan out. Maybe this helps us keep him cheap for next year, though. [Reply]

Rushing in a guy who had not played in a year… very predictable outcome.
A similar risk for Donovan Smith as well, who hasn’t played in a game since the Super Bowl. [Reply]

Smith has the same injury risk. In fact, his is probably worse with the neck/back issues. [Reply]
