I mean I'm fairly certain I've said that he was solid but unspectacular and struggled more in the second half than then first. I've said that Thuney has done yeoman's work in salvaging the position of late while the coaching staff did well to work around his shortcomings.
I know I didn't say stuff like "Humphries got manhandled" at any point.
Maybe I just don't know the word as well as I thought I did.
Because I see plenty of hyperbole in this thread...but it ain't from my side of this discussion...
This is the same poster who this morning said that the team would “panic” if the team had to have a player switch positions in the middle of a game.
Classic case of projecting his own hyperbolic efforts onto someone else. [Reply]
Can't wait to bump this thread after the divisional when mahomes drop 300 and 3 tuddies with half our playbook in the shitter because joe thuney is a special needs LT. [Reply]

Dude, he kind of is.
He's not going to lose immediately at the snap often, he's too smart, but he's a Guard, not a Tackle.
Come on now.
The best case scenario is that Humphries is ready to go and gives us solid OT play.

Because that's slower developing. Hopkins isn't on a drag, but he's not on a quick hitter either. That route takes that full 3 seconds or so to develop.
But what Mahomes did that he has historically been reluctant to do is step up rather than drift back. And man, you'd love to see him do that more, but it's just never been a go-to move for him. It seems like it's about 4th on his list of preferred options.
And what almost blew it up anyway, despite Mahomes showing really nice feel for the pocket, is that Caliendo got absolutely abused.
That's the sort of play that you could do a lot if A) Mahomes would step up rather than drift back and B) Thuney were in at LG instead of Caliendo.
Presuming that Humphries can give you the rep that Thuney did there. And that play is a prefect representation of how Thuney wins -- he gets aggressive and controls the rep. Attacks the DE and gets walked backwards rather than get backwards and try to absorb the DE.
Humphries CAN give you exactly that sort of pocket doing it his way. Frankly, his way is the better way to get it done. Does he have the stamina to do it in the 3rd quarter? Or on the 8th play of a drive? I just don't know.
But I know that I'd be reluctant to try that play again given how badly Caliendo got beat on that play. [Reply]

This is what we should all be hoping for.
What I'm hoping for is that Houston beats the Chargers.
Because the Chargers DC is smaaaaaart. I'm confident we can beat Houston with 1/3 of our playbook. Andy's 15 scripted plays in random order may be enough.
But that damn Chargers DC is gonna have something in his pocket if we play them and Thuney is the LT. He'll make things hard on us, IMO. [Reply]

Need Minter and Vance to get HC jobs bc they have both been excellent unfortunately.
AFC West is gonna be a battle. It might be looking like this years NFC North. [Reply]
