It’s damn nice knowing he can play LT effectively if needed. The guy is a ****ing awesome technician like Schwartz. It speaks volumes that the Hoodie himself was ready to roll with Thuney at LT a few years ago due to a camp dispute.
Joe Thuney can play LT if Orlando Brown Jr gets hurt and we need him to
Kyle Long can play RT if Lucas Niang and Mike Remmers both get hurt
Mike Remmers can play RT if Lucas Niang gets hurt and vice versa
It’s a great feeling to know that we are not just loaded but well prepared for Armageddon should it happen again [Reply]
This signing looks even better after the draft and trade. Props to Veach for having the vision to build the line in the way it presented itself. Past GMs would have been laser focused on the LT position and that's it. [Reply]
This in a strange way ended up being sort of forgotten about. Our biggest actual signing of the offseason and other than the normal CP arguments really doesnt get talked about much. [Reply]
Sneaky good blocking here. Thuney with a great down block. Brown swims over the defensive lineman and uses a club move to propel him forward. Smith doesn’t even really need to block him. #JacobsEyeInTheSky#Chiefspic.twitter.com/KyppMh8zWu
