The only way to learn is to play. He's never gonna be in a better situation than he will be this year to learn and such.

I can't figure why people don't think he can't be atleast as good as OBJ and Smith.....had it on CP authority they both sucked.

Has nothing to do with what CP thinks.

I can't figure out why you think Andy is planning on starting him.

Andy will start a vet who sucks just as bad ten times out ten before he starts a rookie who sucks at LT*.

Or even just one with the usual struggle from being a project not a plug and play guy.




*. Unless he truly has no choice

They started Creed

They started Trey


Why can't this be that?

Buffalo's Dion Dawkins was a 3rd round pick who started at LT his rookie year I believe.

Actually, DAWKINS was a second round pick. I’ve often wondered what would’ve happened if we had taken him that year after we took Mahomes. Instead, five pics ahead of Dawkins. We took a DL (CAN’T REMEMBER HIS NAME AND I DOUBT ANYONE CAN). WE WOULD’VE HAD A VERY GOOD LT ALL THESE YEARS ALONG WITH MAHOMES MIGHT EVEN HAVE HELPED US WIN THE SUPER BOWL. WE LOST TO BRADY.

Dawkins was the second last pick in round two back then. Who does that remind us of this year?👍 hope that’s a good omen.

Why in the **** would you even ask about Mecole Hardman, Matt? Don't even try to speak that shit into existence. That chapter is over. Let him ride off into the sunset never to be heard from again.

Just ask about Donovan Smith like a normal ****ing human being.

Why did we let the Eagles sign Becton?

Best case scenario is that Suamataia is so good they have to start him at LT week 1.

You mean that big injury prone piece of shit? Why did we let the eagles sign that guy? Hmmm, that's a tough question.

It's hard to argue against this. I hope Kingsley is so good in training camp that there's no question about starting him, other than the fact that Wanya is so good in training camp.

Stryker 04-29-2024 06:31 PM

Kingsley Suamataia is a great signing but, we will see what happens in OTA's and training camp. How fast can he develop? We shall see and very glad we got him! :thumb:

Donovan Smith allowed 42 pressures in 506 pass blocking snaps in 2023. If he had played the whole season there's a realistic chance he would've given up 60+ pressures.

Sure, at or near vet minimum, bring him in, but there's absolutely no reason to invest actual cap space in him.

Joe Thuney being injured probably was a part of it. Also, Smith was being beat mostly inside later he wasn't the Carasoul that OBJ was on the outside.

Hardman got happy with his post Super Bowl attention and his big mouth badmouthing the Jets is going to make it harder for any team, including the Chiefs, to want him around.

I'm not a draft guy but it has to be Kingsley right? How often are OTs truly redshirted to develop and actually do? Seems like most of the starting tackles in the league start out their careers starting or at least start at some point in year 1.

So IMO it's either him starting at LT. Or Taylor at LT and he plays RT.
