Chiefs Can we talk offensive line? - Page 2

TambaBerry · 12-26-2016, 08:36 AM

Can someone please explain to me why our offensive line sucks so bad? We can't open up any holes for Ware, we can't push the ball in from the one yard line, we also let guys run free into the backfield. Is it coaching? Do our players just suck?

Yes as you say the o line has struggled overall. This thread isn't exactly crazy to have even last week was the appropriate time to make it.

Oh I trashed them last week, but they all get sucked off after that dominating beat down. What team has ever done that to them in recent years?

oh yeah, that was one of the most fun games I've ever witnessed from the Chiefs, it tanks up there with the beat down of the patriots in recent years.

Both were great, but dayum a beat down of Denver, ENDING their season to boot is just glorious.

Elway probably left a bunch of horse turds in the toilet for the janitor to take care of.

if you're not going to add anything useful just don't comment. Who is bitching? I'm not bitching at all, I'm trying to have a conversation of the fact that our line let's people through unblocked and the fact we can't rush for one yard on the goal line. Someone said pretty much the answer and it's youth, that makes a lot of sense especially with our guards.

At which point Dorsey will let them walk in FA.

We are leading the league in false starts with 28 if you want to talk about an issue. Seattle second with 25. Ironic since those two teams have home fields doing that to other teams.

This would be something to cleanup that would at least improve the rhythm of the offense.

I think the line definitely has room for improvement. Fortunately, one of those improvements is sitting on IR. Ehinger had a pretty good rookie season going before the injury. He struggled with the power rush, but that should improve. He will be able to bulk up this offseason and he got valuable experience before he got hurt. I look to see a pretty dominant left side next season. That would put RG as our weakest point. Not saying that LDT is bad. He's much better than the trash we had out there before him.

That's a few years down the road if it happens but in the mean time Dorsey needs to draft some competition.

One other point about the offensive line. Last night during the game, they mentioned Smith's release as one of the quickest in the NFL at 2.25 seconds. That is what Manning did to mask the shit offensive line in Dungver. Is our line as good as we think it is of is Alex making it look better than it is?

While the chiefs offense can be an issue against good teams that game plan like ne, they actually are a good matchup against a team like Denver.

They don't use their wr as much so tslib and harris don't do as much. Even though andy and Alex have their struggles, it does help negate the pass rush.
