I just want dudes who can protect Patrick. Nothing more, nothing less.

As they should. I've railed against the light in the pants undersized types they've employed on the interior for years. A mauling OL that can convert in short yardage when necessary is a huge plus, assuming they can still pass protect adequately.

Remember Jeff Allen in his limited time at RT? Wasn't mobile, but he was hard to get around because the dude was just big.
From a strictly pass-pro standpoint, a big IOL is gonna keep that pocket from being 'mush-rushed' into oblivion. Big dudes can just stand there and hold their ground. Meanwhile Fish and Schwartz are good enough on the ends to operate on an island and handle more dynamic edge rushers. And picking up stunts/twists is more about communication and feel than raw athleticism anyway. I think this is Andy making another shift towards attempting to protect his QB. Give me the more powerful middle and I'll trade some of those pulls and the occasional need of an IOL to execute a kick-slide or something. Positive development, IMO. |

If you can run the ball really well..and your oline is driving mother****ers back every run, they cant focus as much on rushing Mahomes. A good run blocking line really wears down a defense and slows down the pass rush.

Chiefs with a power runing game would be insane!!
Teams dared us to run the last few years. |

I think the transition is complete, folks, with Kilgore at center.
Kilgore is only listed at 291 but plays larger. Allegretti and Wylie, like Osemele and Wylie, are two roadgrading guards. |
