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

Starting your LG at LT and playing a bad backup in his place is fucking around too. Fucking around with inferior lineups is playing not to lose. That gets you best in the playoffs.

Mahomes played his best ball this year with that lineup, inferior as it may be. Enabling your best player to play his best ball is the opposite of playing not to lose.

Now if Humphries comes in and we get the same level of play, you won't hear a complaint from me. But ill be quite pissed off if we're losing at halftime and then swap back to Thuney.

They neutered the offense and changed the play calling to mask deficiencies in that lineup. Saying Pat played his best ball against Houston and Pittsburgh isn't being completely honest about the situation.

I mean, you could say the same thing about last year.

Sure, we benched Moore and Toney, but its not like we had any breakout players in the postseason, outside of MVS finally not dropping passes. We simplified our playbook and played mistake free football to mask our deficiencies. At the very least, we went into the postseason with a plan and knew our identity. Playing musical chairs at LT while we're in the playoffs isn't having a plan.

Pick a guy, be confident about him, and stick with him, is how I feel about this. If you feel you need to switch Humphries out mid-game, he shouldn't be the guy.

And to be fair to the other side, if you feel Calidendo is THAT much of a liability and you don't trust him at all, go with Humphries. But my main point remains. Pick a guy. Don't pull this musical chairs shit in the playoffs.

I trust the Chiefs to do the right thing with their O-line. The good news is we have options, and a "floor" that is known with Thuney at LT. From my armchair, know-nothing perspective, I want Thuney because I've seen it work. But they could be looking at film and practice reps and saying things can be even better with Humphries. When it gets scary is when there is no viable option, like SB 55. We'll be fine.

Our offense last year did just enough. They at one point went 15-16 drives without a TD in the AFC Championship and SB.


We need a higher level of performance this year and we have the weapons to do so.

Other than that they (Mahomes and Worthy) didn't do much of anything to contribute to the rushing stats averaging 117 a game start of the season. Games 2-4 we averaged 129 a game almost all from the RB's.

Pacheco got hurt and it didn't seem to slow things down initially, it almost seems we got away from the run in a bunch of games only rushing 14-20 times.

Probably a lot of factors to go with it along with the OL changes but I don't trust Caliendo playing RG in the playoffs. The overall stats prove out he is well well below average there.
Nah! First 6 games Mahomes rushed for 122 yards, or 20 yards a game. Next 7 games he rushed for 126 yards, or 18 yards a game. Last 3 games he rushed for 59 yards, or 20 yards a game.

As long it isn’t solely Andy Heck’s decision. I mean he gave the green light to Reid and Veach that we were good to go for the season with a Rookie and W morris.

Looks like DJ is definitely not starting now. ChiefsBlitz is Nick Athan.

News out of KC is that the team is leaning towards starting Humphries at LT & Thuney at LG this week vs the Texans. This is per a source given to @ChiefsBlitz

Feels risky. ��*♂️ pic.twitter.com/c0MsEnCemA

Thuney had a 43.5 pass block grade, allowed 10 pressures, 8 hurries, and 2 QB hits in his only game in which Mahomes wasn't throwing the ball faster than he ever has. Thats a 23% pressure rate. The next game he allowed 4 pressures (8% pressure rate) 3 hurries and 1 QB hit and that's when Mahomes was getting rid of it pretty much immediately.

Wanya allowed over an 8% pressure rate in 4/10 starts at LT, so 40%. Thuney allowed over 8% pressure rate in 2/3 starts at LT or 66%.

So the only conclusion I can come up with is that neither Thuney nor Humphries should be starting at LT and it should be Morris!
