Hey moron, that's not all the plays in case you weren't paying attention.
I just want what's best for the team in the playoffs. I thought DJ had some success in the first half, but got worked in the second half.. Patrick will get the ball out quick so maybe he can hold up. I just don t trust him like I do Thuney...
If Andy does.. well I guess I will too.. We probably won't know who will start till a couple of days before the gm when it leaks out.. You know Andy will play it coy and not tell us anything.. [Reply]
Are there breakdowns of Caliendo statistically that I have missed? If the Chiefs end up going with Humphries in his not yet optimal conditional, certainly it's because they think
Humphries/Thuney >Thuney/Caliendo.
They aren't just going to look at Humphries vs Thuney. [Reply]

I think Humphries starts at LT in the playoffs -- and we will make a switch if he plays poorly. With competent LT play and Thuney at RG and the weapons we now have on offense, I am guessing we don't plan on having to rely on defense winning games this post season. [Reply]
From a fan perspective, the Denver game didn’t change anyone’s opinion. Those who went into the game saying stick with Thuney because he hasn’t given up a sack, the offense has been its best the last few weeks, don’t mess with what’s working… want to start Thuney. Those who were leaning towards Humphries are saying he was good in the first half, the scheme hurt him, he has two weeks to get into shape…
This is very reminiscent of the “did KC sign Taylor to play LT or RT” argument 2 years ago. [Reply]

I think the calculation might be what is the safest option at LT, first and foremost. Which is why I think Thuney starts, irrespective of the better combination or which has the highest ceiling. [Reply]

I disagree. Starting Humphries and then having to go to Thuney will bring a "panic mode" to the team during the game, not ideal.
Humphries was beat every way imaginable in the 2nd half on Sunday. He'll be sitting out the playoffs! [Reply]
I had been in the start Thuney at LT camp before the Denver game, but now I am on the fence. I thought Hump played most snaps very well and also had some horrible snaps. Yet, it looked like he may have shown he can hold the left edge if he can eliminate the whiffs. I would hope Andy can scheme to address that.
There are just too many variables that none of us aware to know who will get nod… [Reply]
