They clearly weren't happy with his play since they benched him yet I didn't see a lot of help being given to him. Unless I missed it.
They are going to keep putting him out there and they should. Can't give up obviously after a bad start, but maybe help him out a little more until he hopefully figures it out. [Reply]

I bet Smith is in touch with the team, but that's a phone call you make in December, not after one bad game from Kingsley against an all pro.
Yeah, but Crosby, Nosa bros, And most any good rush end.. Worrisome...I'm willing to let him play though it but it can't cost us home field advantage or a first round loss.. [Reply]
The bright side is that we’ve found ways to win despite his struggles.
If Andy leaves him in there (yes, I know he made a change late but he did that same thing at one time with Jawaan Taylor), then I’ll trust he’s making strides.
This team has won 3 SBs with their best LT being Fisher. They will adjust to this, but expecting Kingsley to own Trey is asking for a lot, especially for a second round rookie LT. If he’s like this later in the season then there is more room for concern. [Reply]

I said his first bad game we'd have people demanding we call all the shitty vet LTs who aren't going to be an improvement.
And what do you know.
What's the solution? Honestly... deal with it. Let him learn. He's not going to get better on the bench.
Stay the course. If he's still THIS bad late in the season, then MAYBE you start thinking about other options.
Yeah. He's got the size and reach, that we should definitely give him a chance to bounce back. He's already shown enough flashes here and there to give him the benefit of the doubt, in my opinion. Let him ride.. [Reply]
