I thought they said he was in camp, so I was surprised Caliendo was playing LG instead of Wanya. Wany amight be pretty decent at it since he wouldn't have to worry about getting beat outside. [Reply]
I know you guys don’t want to hear this but if that hammy is healthy he’s a way better tackle than Thuney. AND that’s not a bad thing or Thuney slander. If healthy he should take the job. The goal is the best 5. [Reply]

Who has zero chemistry with the line and O generally. [Reply]

I think he needs to play well, be able to finish the game and then be able to recover so he could go the next week if there was a game. I'm not counting on it but I'm hoping for it. Let's put the best team we've had all year on the field in the playoffs. [Reply]

Yes he is.
And I'm willing to even get to "he's not a better OT than Thuney but he's not a WORSE one" for the sake of argument.
Because even THAT is a no-brainer. Because Thuney is a much much MUCH better OG than Caliendo.
Shit man, Humphries can be 10% worse than Thuney at OT and the offensive line is better with Humphries at OT and Thuney at OG than it is with Thuney/Caliendo.
I just don't understand the push-back here.
Let the guy play and see what he can do against a NASTY and motivated Broncos front with Nick Bonitto ready to lay it all out there.
If he performs, start him in the playoffs. If he doesn't, you don't.
I just don't even see any value in coming up with alternate scenarios here. Because they all require a complete and total suspension of disbelief. [Reply]

I’m not saying he should have it. If he plays well against Bonitto, it’s his. We won’t see a faster edge in the playoffs. If he survives. Play him. [Reply]

This board acts like saying DJ is our best case is saying the nieghbors hotter than your wife, to your wife. [Reply]

Let me get this straight. You want a guy whos never played LG before in a NFL game to play it for the first time in the playoffs? Yeah I'm sure they'll do that. [Reply]
Play Humphries vs. dungver...if he does an acceptable job, start him vs whomever we play in the 2nd round, and if he doesn't play well in that game, return to Thuney at LT.
Or ask Patrick, and do whatever he prefers. A happy Patrick is the best Patrick. [Reply]
