My personal expectations is just that he doesn't loose immediately like Morris was last week. If he can at least Orlando Brown it and push a guy up the arc and not let guys go 100 percent free in the first two seconds its an improvement over last week.

It's all relative. I'm not suggesting he is going to shut Myles down. And damn Andy Reid if he doesn't give him help all day in that matchup.

But what I do expect is for the offense to function just fine and score enough to win. Not sure that would be the case if Wanya or Kingsley play.

I think communication will also be a larger hurdle early on. Hes a huge upgrade but hard to imagine he can be much worse than wanya

ALl the remaining teams on our schedule have good pass rushers...

Chargers - Bosa

Cleveland - Garrett

Texans - Anderson, Hunter

Broncos - Bonnito

Steelers - Watt

They will go after Taylor first and foremost. But at least that's not on Mahomes' blind side.

I'd be happy if he can provide Donovan Smith level protection...that at least enabled us to win a super bowl.
[Reply]

What number is he going to wear?

If they give him Taylor's number, the refs will be very confused when they're calling false starts on the RT. They have that programmed by now.

I still think Chiefs FO should bring back Donovan Smith as insurance, protecting Mahomes has to be THE #1 FRANCHISE PRIORITY. He can probably be had for cheap at this point, too. Morris and Kingsley cannot see the field anymore as a tackle, perhaps at guard but not tackle.

As some have stated, we don't want to 'Andrew Luck' our Pat

Ok, but who do you cut?
[Reply]

Oh man. Looking at the draft forums mock drafts and posts.

Lot of folks wanted Kingsley at 32. Hoo boy if we did that :-)

Morris/IR

Have we gotten around to cutting CJ Hanson yet?

Do that.
[Reply]

We also acknowledged that he needed a year to develop. That’s still the case. What shocked everyone was the coaching staff putting him on an island right away with little to no help whatsoever. The kid will get it figured out sooner or later. I still think the tools to be a plus starter are there.

Who are you quoting on that Clay?
[Reply]

LT seems to be a more nuanced position...which is why it's coveted. You need long arms and quick feet...plus developed technique.

How hard is it to convert someone with the athletic gifts of Kingsley to guard...and Morris for that matter?

Don't some failed LTs turn out to be good ones...or at least serviceable?
