Left Tackle

[RealSNR]

Also, in that Rappoport article, he says "Matthew Judon is no doubt his biggest test"

Uhhhh what?

[Red Dawg]

Someday I hope they solve this problem. As Mahomes gets older it will be magnified more. Veach must stop messing around.

LT is the 2nd hardest position on the entire team to fill. Good LT’s never fall in the draft. They are always going top 10, 15 at worst.

If we keep winning it makes it that much harder. This is the best he can do.

Okay, then tell the Chiefs to tank for a year so they can get a top 5 pick.

Oh, you like winning? Then you're going to have to draft Wanyas and Kingsleys and hope one of them becomes good enough.

Yeah, we have 4 OL starters right now that are top notch or close enough. We have this one spot that is one of the toughest to fill, but we've managed to have it be adequate enough to win multiple Super Bowls while we search. Keep after it. Hopefully Kingsley is the answer and just needs a little more development time.

If Morris sucks today I want Donovan Smith on speed dial, though. I know everybody here tells me he sucked all last year but there was never a thought of benching him.

[Chris Meck]

It's not like benching your QB. You have two young guys you're trying to coach up. They'll both be fine.

I just don't understand this move, it completely goes against Andys long held desire for continuity on the line... breaking precedent like this is a real head scratcher

Yeah it's nonsensical. So if Morris has another Raiders quality game we're going to go back to Suamataia? If they're willing to bench them for poor performance they should've brought in a vet to stopgap/backup.

I think that’s why they’re doing the rotation. They want the competition to hopefully show some cream rise to the top.

I want Kingsley to be a star LT as much as anyone but that position CANNOT be a liability. So if he’s not ready, I guess we will see if Wanya is at least in the interim.

I mean ok he gave up two sacks and a few pressures to a pro bowl quality DE, didn't they expect him to have some early struggles against top shelf guys?

We have no choice but to trust their judgement, but Andys MO with the line has always been... we'll get some of those things cleaned up as we go forward

Nice breakdown from Schwartz showing Wanya against Cincy.

Makes it kinda easy to see why the staff is rolling with him. He looks improved. And now we can only hope this leads Kingsley to similar technical improvement, gives him a chance to focus on himself a little instead of having to do that AND try to combat elite pass rushers.

The #Chiefs will have a new starting left tackle tonight against the #Falcons, with Wanya Morris now protecting Patrick Mahomes blindside.

They're going to start Wanya then have Kingsley report as eligible and line up next to Wanya after sending him in motion to the left side on every play.

Checkmate, Rappaport.

This is great stuff! Kind of turns this situation on it's head. The switch to Morris could be more about Wanya having figured this shit out. I seriously don't care which one of them wants to step up and be awesome. Hopefully both do.

People gotta consider that this isn’t one of those positions where you can just put a guy out there and let him struggle if you think it’s a danger to Pat.

Blindside hits will get him hurt as easy as anything, it’s the last position they can **** around with.

If Worthy has a couple bad reps, it really isn’t gonna matter. When the LT does, it could end your season. So do what you can do improve your game and be ready when your number is called, but until then, we’ve got a GOAT to protect.
