Kingsley will have another shot eventually, somehow or another, and he needs to get his technique right in the meantime. Just like Wanya's looked better. [Reply]
Kingsley looked fine in week one. Wanya looked fine yesterday. Kingsley looked bad in week two. The opposition should get some credit here. Hendrickson is a better pass rusher than the other two opponents had. I thought Kingsley should have started yesterday to see how he does against a different pass rusher. I don't have a problem with Wanya starting though. He needs more reps also. [Reply]

Hopefully they continue providing the chip help, no matter which guy is playing LT. [Reply]

I agree.
I would prefer to see Kingsley eventually be the franchise LT because he’s got better size and physical attributes, but I won’t pooh-pooh what Wanya does if he’s the best man for the job.
I just want the damn position secured. No more OBJ trades and Donovan Smiths. We’ve invested the equivalent of 2 2nds and a 3rd at one tackle spot since 2021. [Reply]
I was much relieved to notice it seemed PM15 wasn't running for his life last game unlike the Bengals game, hopefully that will help with some peace of mind/confidence in the OLine he will stay in his reads and hit open guys down the field, versus the checkdown stuff to the sides. I do realize the Bengals guy was one of the best in the League, let's see how Wanya does against similar caliber players, hopefully great! Kingsley will fit in somewhere. Also, Wanya has had a full year plus full postseason of practice experience against top caliber Chief defenders, on top of more NFL games, that Kingsley doesn't have in order to help the learning.

I don't think so. I think Perine and Steele are better at chip blocking than Pops. [Reply]

I wonder if this is how we look at it. Maybe wanya today is a better option with chip help. It’s a good option right now. But maybe not the best sign that a few years into his career he still needs it.
And Kingsley is our best option who can one day soon protect with less help. [Reply]
