Anyone screaming “but NaGY!!!” isn’t watching the tape. LT is a massive problem right now. And Steele needs to be off the field on obvious passing downs and even 2nd down passing bc he’s getting Mahomes killed missing his blocks on blitzes. LT is a major major problem and the playcalling is showing that. |

But I feel like it's really not been necessary the last couple of weeks. It's been clear in real time what the issue is. Now the WHY of it may be harder to put a finger on. There's no reason for Pat to be this far out of whack. But he very obviously is. |

Keep dodging the point. LT is a massive problem now because of the idiocy of the staff against the Bengals. Leaving Kingsley on an island against Hendrickson was absolutely ****ing stupid, and now we're going to have to suffer through Morris because of it. This team has enough struggles right now, self inflicted bullshit is unacceptable.

The problem with Kingsley was that he was getting beat fast and in the same fashion repeatedly. Morris is limited but right now more technically sound. He'll die a slower death. And ultimately that's more important than winning more often. If I have a guy that wins 80% of his reps outright but gets face-raped on the other 20% and another guy who wins 65% of his reps but loses slowly on the other 35%, I'm gonna take the latter. At least with a QB in Mahomes that does a nice job (generally) of buying space and time. The only thing you can do to truly submarine the entire offense is get beat fast. Morris typically doesn't - Raiders game last year being the LOUD and extremely worrisome exception. |

They don’t have a playable LT on the roster right now unfortunately. Sad reality

When Kingsley was losing, it was just like play over. Instantly. Hope Mahomes doesn't fumble. Totally destroys the functionality of the scheme. |

Same ****ing defense. You wanna tell me our personnel is worse than the ****ing Commanders you can go ****ing die. Their OTs are a third round rookie and Andrew ****ing Wylie. The offensive game plans thus far have been ****ing shit. |

It really does speak to the need for a little experience at the position. Because if Morris gives us 12-13 games like his baseline mediocre last season, we can stomach 2-3 games closer to the Raiders game. Kingsley made it look like we MIGHT be lucky to get a 50/50 split in that regard. As bad as he looked vs. Cincy, he's not gonna look THAT bad every time out. But he could have looked that bad 6-8 times and that's just too much. |

When Morris was a disaster against the Raiders, the entire offense failed. It wasn't terribly dissimilar to the Bengals game. I can see saying "hey, it happens - keep firing" and moving along. But as a rearview snapshot, it IS the reality the Chiefs were working with at that time in the Bengals game. |

Morris is playable. He's not a ton more than that, but it seems like by and large, you'll get average to slightly below from him. That's pretty much the exact definition of 'playable' if certainly sub-optimal. |

They couldn't block Hendrickson against Cincy and the QB vaporlocked

So, at what point is it someone else's issue if the offense needs 5 really good OL for it to operate?

Is it any coincidence that Mahomes' worst games in recent memory were the ones where the LT was getting their ass whooped with instant losses? I mean that would get in my head too.

He's worked around shitty RT play many times. Won a Super Bowl with a below average one. But on the left, you can't see what's happening and I think that explains the sloppy footwork and rushed throws. |
