We are average 5.2 yards per play, which is *by far* the worst of the Mahomes era and actually *below average* this year in the NFL. He's probably the worst starting LT in the league and kills drives.
I think you have to bring in one of the former starters who are on the street. [Reply]

They will definitely have to consider re-allocating the salary cap investment in the offensive line.
Right now Thuney and Taylor are #2 and #4 in highest salary cap #’s on the team, while Wanya Morris is making less than their RB3, Perine.
Have to make LT a bigger priority, based on how it impacts Mahomes’ play. [Reply]
May have been discussed already, but there are plays you can call to help out the OL. Screens for one. Didn't see a single one yesterday. Quick slants. Didn't see any of those either. And can we not get Worthy open in the middle of the field deep, not the sidelines? I think a lot of the blame lies at Nagy's feet. [Reply]

You didn't see any screens? They threw one to Gray and Dirted one that was fucking blown up instantly. I do agree though that they need to emphasize the quick pass game more. Other teams call up a few quick hitters to get back in rhythm and we just never seem to find one. [Reply]
Paying your guards and center the money is a luxury. What is the point if you are going to roll with this? I give them a pass with Taylor because they kinda were in a messed up spot when OBJ didnt sign and he has been picked on a bit with penalties but we are doing it backwards. If you are a power run first team you pay your center/guards if you are a pass first team you pay your tackles. [Reply]
I said it another thread, but this IOL is so ****ing overrated it's not even funny. Anyone that's been here for a while knows I'm far from a doomer, but I'm sick of hearing about how great it is and then paying them so much just to watch them get their asses kicked day in and day out. I would NOT pay Trey big money...I know that. [Reply]
