Nzoner's Game Room>Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]
SHOWTIME 09:18 AM 11-22-2024
Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

It's so funny how folks are so absolute with things. We see Thuney have a few decent games at LT after being protected by TE's and RB's blocking, plus Pat getting the ball out quickly, and all of a sudden "we'd be crazy to change things". But those folks are missing the bigger picture. The run game has suffered massively and in the playoffs you can bet your house that defenses will have way more stunts and pressures ready to exploit Thuney and Caliendo.

So imo we should all be praying that DJ has a solid game against Denver and leaves the field with health and confidence. Because if he's good to go I think it could make this offense even better than it was over the last two games. Cause we can't go into the playoffs with our run game having limitations. We just can't.

We should run the same passing plan but with DJ at LT. My fear is Reid goes back to the deep game first and hangs him out to dry. If we stay with what’s been working it should be a win win moving Thuney back and DJ in.

That would be the high floor approach, which I think is probably best considering the amount of time off he has had. He can likely do exactly what Thuney was doing (with the support and game plan implemented). Doesn’t mean you can’t take a shot or two downfield., but we need to get the run game going and that means Thuney at LG.

Exactly and I'd expect him to play into form and pick up the offense more as we go. That allows you to adjust as he's capable. Just don't jump in feet first.

This is an over reaction IMO.

1. Like it or not, the Chiefs are at their absolute best when the offense is moving the ball in the air. The scheme shift the last two weeks has led to more points, longer and more sucerssful drives.

2. Lets be honest about the running backs for a second. The Chiefs have rode the shit out of Hunt. Dude has been amazing, but we have demanded a ton out of the guy. Its important to make sure he's fresh for the playoffs. Pop is coming back from a leg injruy. Again, we accomp0lished everything we wanted to accomplish by securing the #1 seed. Its more important to make sure Pop is ready for the playoffs than running the damn ball up and down the field.

3. It was important to get the passing offense in rythem. Which they have accomplished.

4. Running game sucked in Cleveland. 26 carries for 77 yards. Thats a good defense. Pops first game back. 1st game with Thuney at LT and Caliendo at G. The number of carries in the next game against the Texansd was 20, vs the Steelers it was 15. I don't think there is a reason to sound the alarm regarding guard play in the running game when Andy (for good reason) has lighted the load for the backs due to overuse and injury.

In conclusion. The games vs the Steelers and Texans where the tune up for the playoffs, especially as the passing game goes. I don't think Andy is going to insert an unknow variable (DJ) into the Oline mix unless he's forced to do it. They went to Thuney when they did because they needed to figure out the offense for the playoffs. You can't be figuring shit out when the loser goes home.

In every Super Bowl run we’ve had in the Mahomes era we’ve had to lean on the run in at least one of our playoff wins on the way. In Super Bowl 54 and 57, sticking with the run was a big reason we won.

Agree. All I'm saying is that the decrease in the rushing game probably has as mush or more to do with Andy wanting to preserves his top two running backs as it has to do with a backup guard starting.

Chemistry is very important, especially when it comes to the offensive line. However, that can be gained in practice, IMO. Sure, game action is the best way but practice is also important.

Kingsley?

Did you mean Morris?

Morris tweaked his knee and had to come out.

And Kinglsey less shit the bed than he showed a real spammable tendency against speed.

He was actually pretty credible against Denvers other DE (don't recall who it was) but Nick Bonitto fucked his mom and wiped his dick on her drapes. He was just wrecking the guy.

I thought Morris started, hurt his knee and Kingsley came in and was shredded.. Then they went back to Morris.. Maybe I’m wrong..

Nice post.
This team is a pass first offense…particularly in the playoffs.
And there is no doubt that the offense has finally found their groove in the passing game last 2 weeks with Thuney at LT.
Sure, Let big Hump see what he can do this weekend.
But, don’t fix what ain’t broke. If Hump doesn’t shred any doubt that he upgrades the overall line play, then Thuney is the playoff LT.
