Man!!!! I love Andy Reid. The @Chiefs and Andy Reid are offensive line savants. Kingsley Suamataia has big time potential. I think he he can be awesome guard or tackle. Just needs a little technique work. He is an aggressive killer who is great athlete.
Kingsley Suamataia is a versatile offensive tackle who split his 1,300 career snaps at BYU almost exactly down the middle between left and right tackle.
My favorite line from Dane Brugler's draft guide: "He delivers more pancakes than Denny's" ��
Traitsy OT w/ great size+athleticism+strengt. Easy range in the run game to pull or climb to landmarks or hit set points in slide. Patient hand usage to stay square and trust his lateral agility. Pad level & overall technique should develop in NFL. pic.twitter.com/p9zOJEuMkr
So is it just impossible to find decent left tackle play? At this point I’m starting to think we should have just extended OBJ even though I was against that originally (shows what I know). He was having a really good season this year in Cincinnati prior to getting injured and he’s making significantly less than Taylor. Is Andy Heck maybe not getting the job done? [Reply]

It’s similar to wideout.
It’s a premium position demanding premium pay. The top prospects are gone in the Top 15 (both factors make this a difficult problem for us). Even someone solid is going to demand a king’s ransom at a position where solid demands a premium price.
I miss Eric Fisher, man. Gotta wonder if his achilles was set to go, or if that one inconsequential play in Buffalo was hugely consequential to the longterm trajectory of our line (for better and worse). [Reply]
He may have the "traits" but he is absolutely not ready for the NFL. If Morris is out we can't have this guy. He's so far from where he needs to be I don't know how he can be allowed meaningful snaps to improve. [Reply]

If Morris is out, obviously you sign a veteran, but next week I think you have to play Thuney at LT. Don’t give me shit about chipping and all that, this kid will get Mahomes killed. [Reply]

I mean THE WORST.
It’s like, have they even been working with him at all since the benching? Has he even practiced? He looks like he’s never played football in his life. [Reply]
