I love signing Thornton to the practice squad. He’s high upside with low cost. Thornton plays fast. My concern with him has always been, can he catch with those little hands but I love his speed. I really think he runs routes faster than worthy but that’s just my opinion. [Reply]

It's not just the LT, although that's the weakest link. The entire offensive line has regressed. In the run game, Pacheco was getting 4.0 YPC before he got hurt. last year, he was getting 4.6 YPC. And Hunt is only getting 3.7 YPC this year.
The o-line needs to be overhauled this offseason. [Reply]

Oh yes, they're also not great in pass protect. Mahomes didnt used to have to deal with a rush right in his face. He is seeing more of that this season. [Reply]

Regarding the OL, we can't have a complete switch up but who do you replace? LT is obvious. It will be really interesting what we do with Trey and Taylor [Reply]
Btw I wasn’t meaning to be negative. I love that we stockpile WRs and who cares if he never contributes. I just wonder if this can help unlock worthy. I feel like against buffalo we were using him more to attack the intermediate space. Something we planned for Hollywood where worthy can run a lot of those decoy routes or go routes until he adjusted to the nfl.
I know we take a long time to incorporate WRs into an offense. But if we trusted a rookie in a simplified role is it possible we could trust Thornton sooner rather than later? Just a bandaid until Hollywood comes back [Reply]
