Post here. Pertinent free agent signings can still have their own thread. Anyone who replies with a Q, because something is buried in this thread should blah blah AIDS tree. [Reply]

Yeah I noticed. Pretty generic of you. Especially when you consider linemen consist of 34% of a teams roster. [Reply]

I'm sure investment will be made, in reality though as the defending champions just drafting dudes who start will go a long way to keeping us there. Don't want to whiff on picks.
Also if one of the OT's happened to fall a guy like Josh Jones for example, I'd be fine with picking him and letting him play guard for a year or 2 before he kicks out. [Reply]

Completely agree.
Draft well and all these issues take care of themselves.
As of now, isn’t our worst case scenario on the OL that we go into next year with the same original 5 starters as last year?
Considering how few sacks they allowed (even with Fisher being injured and missing several games), that’s not the worst situation we could be in.
I’ve preached over and over that we need to upgrade the interior OL, but I don’t think the worst case is all THAT bad. Not necessarily good, but not terrible. [Reply]

Yeah. But that line is also the reason why we can’t run for shit. [Reply]

Only because Mahomes does what he doses is the reason for the sack count . Goddamn watch the line block passing or run block .we need help on the inside in the worst way. You put put a kick ass line in front of Mahomes like Green had and he will tear the nfl a new ass [Reply]

Replicating that line isn’t realistic.
We had one of he beat adjusted sack rates in the league despite multiple injuries and Moore getting sacked like 5 times against Minny.
Mahomes is fantastic, but he isn’t doing ALL of that on his own. Some is scheme. Some is the actual play of the line. Some is Mahomes being Mahomes. [Reply]
