Keep in mind though that last year was the first year the KC O-line were playing in a group, minus Ehinger, were playing in a consistent basis.
He may not have top-end speed, but he's got burst, patience and vision. Those three attributes can prove worthwhile. We just need the o-line to do their job; they've been spoiled by J-Charles. [Reply]

Perhaps the 16 game schedule kind of wore him down, since this was his 3rd year, and 2nd year on the active roster?

You speak the truth. All JC needed was half way blocks and he's past the LOS. [Reply]
