The one thing we can look forward to: the league's best OL.
Last year, PFF gave the Chiefs the 12th best line.
That's even with Albert missing games, Ryan Lilja playing center, Jeff Allen playing poorly, and Stephenson having to play left tackle for five games. 12th best line. Now, the Chiefs are better. If you're a fan of the trenches, and I know most of us on this site are not, but I unapologetically am: Albert's healthy. Hudson's back. Allen's getting competition from Geoff Schwartz, and we're replacing Winston with Eric ****ing Fisher. LT: Albert LG: Allen/Schwartz C: Hudson RG: Asamoah RT: Fisher Here are last year's top 5 OLs: 1st: 49ers LT: Joe Staley LG: Mike Iupati C: Jonathan Goodwin RG: Alex Boone RT: Anthony Davis 2nd: Patriots LT: Nate Solder LG: Logan Mankins C: Ryan Wendell RG: Dan Connelly RT: Sebastian Vollmer 3rd: Jets LT: D'Brickashaw Ferguson LG: Willie Colon C: Nick Mangold RG: Matt Slausen RT: Austin Howard 4th: Broncos LT: Ryan Clady LG: Zane Beadles C: JD Walton RG: Louis Vasquez RT: Orlando Franklin 5th: Cleveland Browns LT: Joe Thomas LG: Jason Pinkston C: Alex Mack RG: Shaun Lauvao RT: Mitchell Schwartz I think we can make a run at this group in 2013. |

So are we shooting to replace the jets or the browns?
FWIW, I used to be a huge O-line homer as well, back in the Roaf days. |

Can't wait for "the best line in the league" to give up 40 sacks thanks to Alex Myth.
|
Not to mention we will have a blocking TE and a new Fullback to block. Our running game should lead the NFL again.

dam close to 50/50 for all the bitching that goes on about it |
We should definitly have a top 10 oline this year. But a good oline won't make a qb look that much better as we saw with Cassell. Granted its Cassell but still...
|
yeah, the Chiefs have won their superbowl...BEST OL EVAR
|
I also like the fact we have a backup plan for center. Still cannot believe we had NO plan if Hudson sucked or got hurt.
I guess it should not surprise me since we never had a plan B at QB either |

I think next year Reid will make a more focused attempt at drafting a QB. Unless Bray or Smith really surprise |
Eric Fisher hasn't proven shit. He may be absolute garbage for all we know.
No point in grading lines yet. |
