I've already said I'm fine deferring to whatever the staff thinks. I don't really feel terribly strongly either way.

I just think it's funny that you keep making declaratory statements that are just fucking wrong and then bopping onto the next one before getting all bitchy when people point it out.

You in the middle of a cycle, big-timer? Got some roid-rage you need to go pump out?

You'd been fairly sane since your return until whatever this lunatic shit-fit is.

Now I hope Andy goes with Humphries just so you can eat shit.

So we're going to stan for a dude who's barely played in the past year and has looked bad/out of shape vs a guy who when he was at LT the offense was humming. Yeah this is an easy one folks
[Reply]

:-) I'm literally just responding to some of the dumbest takes on here when we all just watched Humphrie get destroyed for a whole half of football.

My statements haven't been wrong. There's the stats. He got wrecked. The offense immediarely improved when Joe slid out to tackle.

So yes, it's a dumb take to keep saying that DJ upgrades the line when the dude has played 1 decent half of footbal in two games and in one of those games got injured.

Yes. All of that, is galactically stupid. You don't need to be on a cycle in order to throw some inflammatory language at takes that brain rot stupid.

I just want our all pro guard to be an all pro player rather than a mediocre player. It's weird to me that people find that to be a controversial take.

I'm not saying that it's Humphries or bust. All I'm saying is that the best version of our OL for a Super Bowl run has Thuney where he's supposed to be and Caliendo on the bench. If Humphries can't handle it, it is what it is, but I'm hesitant to bail on that possibility when he mainly just looked like he needs to get back into playing shape.

If it was early in the season I'd agree. But the playoffs are literally one and done. This isn't the time when you gamble on a guy getting back into playing shape.
[Reply]

I’ll trust whatever choice they make, but for me personally it would be hard not to roll with Thuney.

There’s proof of concept. We don’t have that yet with Hump.
[Reply]

I'm okay with whatever the staff thinks as well.

If they want Humphries, that's fine. But if we lose and it was because Humphries was out there stinking it up, I will absolutely be sick to my stomach. Starting Humphries with the intention of pulling him in a playoff game feels like we're still fucking around, and this isn't the time to do that.
[Reply]

As I understood it if Humphries was solid and could get in game shape in time there were rolling with him.

Looks like that might not be the case. Worst case the guy is depth if someone gets hurt and he has to go in. Seems like he's good for about 1/2 anyway.
[Reply]

My guess is that DJ is just depth for the playoffs.
[Reply]

I would like him to come back next year though and give the guy a full offseason/camp/preseason. If only to hold it down until Kingsly is ready. He's got probowl upside so...

Best version of our offense this season has been with Thuney at LT. You can't ignore how the offense has looked with him at guard and a turnstile at LT.

Tbh, I'd rather we play Morris at LT than Humphries right now if we're putting Thuney back at LG. Morris has never looked this bad or been rated as low as Humphries was today. And overall PFF has given him a 58 grade on the season. Humphries has a 35 grade.

Even if you want to use the argument that Humphries was affected by bad guard play today, and he'll be better, Wanya had an even worse guard next to him and played well at RT. So I don't buy that argument.
[Reply]

Let Pat make the decision. That’s what I would do if I was the coach. He is ultimately the one who needs to be most comfortable with it.
[Reply]

I thought the same.

I'd rather have Morris out there healthy than DJ after today. Dude got WRECKED.

Wayne would at least have games here and there that were average.

So if it were about sliding a tackle out there IMO it's Morris. NOt Humphries.
[Reply]

Nate Taylor was saying that it's most likely going to be Thuney because Pat trusts him to do whatever it takes to give him time and while he might get pushed back, he won't allow the free runners that Pat hates to get to him. He'll put his body on the line to protect Pat.

He gave it a 60% odds Thuney starts at LT unless DJ Humphries absolutely dominated today.
[Reply]

I'm not a fan of that at all. Now, you want to keep Wanya at RT instead of the penalty factory (or perhaps motivation) I could see trying that. He's looked much better at RT.

I don't ever want to see him back at LT. Period. RG or RT...
