So the final opt out number is...69...
That seems purposeful.. |

Only OT would have been a worse opt-out than OG. Niang has a lot of guts to opt-out right after he got drafted. Just tired of having a shitty OL interior. |

I know this is a big surprise to you but not every position can be all-pro’s. |

Look at our running stats, and see how poor our G/C are. Was hoping Niang was going to be an upgrade by mid season. |

Maybe Darius Harris? I mean he was basically redshirted so he doesn’t exactly have any more experience than a rookie. Hard to think they won’t start Gay |

Hitchens and Wilson both have the size/strength needed to play Mike/Sam - the Will can be more of a fast-twitch guy, provided that the DL holds the edge and the remaining backers do their jobs. You also have fairly willing DBs in run support. If a fast Will can just force the RB into a decision point, everyone else can swarm. I don't think bulk at Will is going to be the issue, honestly. It wouldn't hurt to have, but if Gay isn't up to speed mentally out of the box, I think we can survive. The real issue won't be size as much as savvy, IMO. DoD seems to be an idiot and Niemann doesn't diagnose as quickly as I'd like though recovers better than DoD because he's not shot out of a cannon everywhere. |

I don't the Chiefs have much choice but to start Gay sooner rather than later. We need more speed and athletic ability in our LB corp.
