Not perfect but he has a floor and it’s way higher than anything we had last year. I would take Orlando Brown Jr back over the shit we’ve had.
Every Jaylon Moore 3rd and medium-long one-on-one True Pass set from last year.
- Consistently in the way - Good latch when connected - Generally balanced through set - Pressed by speed & length - Wasn't asked to get deep up the arc - Ball was out QUICK pic.twitter.com/q1G9s7exB3
I’m actually encouraged. He’s got a squat build that should keep him from getting abused by bull rushes. His technique overall looks pretty good. Very little lunging or overextending trying to compensate against speed rushes.
I really like the rep at :50. That’s good hand fighting, IMO. Wanya and Kingsley would have whiffed against that quick swat from the EDGE, probably been beaten immediately for a quick sack. Instead, Moore swats back but doesn’t overextend and is able to ride the defender upfield, leaving the pocket in tact.
Mahomes will have to be disciplined in not dropping too deep. That means LG will be extremely important. If he doesn’t trust the LG, he’ll drift backward and make Moore look worse than he is. [Reply]

Feels very Orlando Brown Jr like, which we would take multiple times over.
Left tackles don't grow on trees and aside from the QB, it's the hardest position to fill in the NFL. Unlike the QB, it is very rare to draft great LTs outside the top 20. In free agency, the great ones are never available. And teams would hardly ever trade the ones they got.
You have to do something and this is what you do. A smart, non-panicky acquisition of a player who looks and plays the part.
Once Stanley signed this was the move that made the most sense to a lot of us. [Reply]
I like the length of the deal, too, because if you want to move on if he doesn't work out or if Kingsley looks better in practice, you can flip him for a pick. [Reply]
It has been copy-pasted by every Chiefs' wannabe news feed on the planet for the past couple of weeks as if it's some grandiose idea of their own. [Reply]

Yeah - Jackson fucked up BIGGLY.
Stanley has age and durability concerns that might've held back his value on the market. I don't think he'd have killed what he got even in this market.
Jackson would've had a stronger market than Dan Moore and potentially by a fair bit. Could've gotten another couple million a year and maybe even another year if he wanted it.
I just don't understand how anybody (Bolton included) would play their way to FA status and then not at least test the market. He had to have seen the amount of available cap out there.
He may have left $50 million on the table. [Reply]
