Remmers did okay, but he's not a starting offensive tackle in the NFL. Dude has 30.25" arms! He's a decent technician but not a talent to be reckoned with. I don't think it's a tall ask at all for Niang, I really don't. He's rehabbed his injury, and he's worked out and worked on techniques and the offensive terminology for a year. I absolutely expect him to lock down RT. |

“Smith is the lineman who has perhaps made the most progress since the Chiefs’ workouts began.
“Trey works really, really hard,” Thuney said of Smith. “He’s getting into his playbook a lot. He’s a strong guy. He’s explosive.” |

Eh.. I wouldn't go that far. Having more weapons in your arsenal is a good thing. You need quality depth up front... losing someone, especially a potential starter is NOT a good thing, no matter how you spin it.

Are people going to be mad when we start the year up front as the following?
Brown Jr Thuney Blythe LDT Remmers I won't... because it'll look completely different in January/February. There will be injuries and adjustments. I just wish we could have gone in fully healthy (Long). It's a long season (no pun intended) where that depth all around will be needed. Smith, Niang, and Humphries will all have plenty of opportunity for snaps, if they are worthy. |

I mean, maybe.
There's an approach to these guys sometimes to not hand them a job. Keep them hungry by making them earn it throughout the seasons as a young player. Reid has shown he may value that take. Whether that actually gives more meaning to the player when he does earn it or not, i don't know. I just wouldn't be surprised to see the vets all begin the year as the starters... let them take the beating early on physically, also they are less likely to be overwhelmed with the Tsunami of defensive schemes early in the season being thrown at them. Let the injuries and depth chart shifts happen naturally to take it's true form later in the year as they progress through the learning curve. It's an approach... not sure I'm necessarily beating that drum for it to be the case.. just saying i won't shed a tear when it does happen. |

Remmers is probably your starting RT and idk that LDT is going to just get his job back.
Brown Jr-Thuney-Humphrey-Blythe-Remmers I think that’s likely your opening week starters now that Kyle Long has broken his dick again. |

Would you rather have Trey Smith win his job or Niang win his job
I agree Creed has already won his job and that they won't have three rookies (my vote is Smith and that Niang is a swing backup) |

Because if he's able to take that job from Blythe and LDT as a rookie, that's goddamn impressive and a damn good sign. Niang has had a quiet OTA/Minicamp. |
