He made the comment about Niang at about the 11:15 mark in response to a question about upgrading the tackle position. It wasn't overly telling, he just said he felt like they were okay at the situation but that they weren't done. He mentioned Niang and Long by name - they were the only two.
He also did say Thuney could play guard AND center.
By the way, he talked about the line towards the beginning - got the impression that he was happy overall with what Veach has done so far but that he was kind of down about having to cut Fisher and Schwartz. [Reply]

There were more comments towards the end about Niang that I missed the first time. Good grief the KCChiefs.com website video interface is AWFUL.
At the 16:50 mark Soren Petro asked about the LT situation and the first thing Andy said was that they had "aspirations" for putting Niang there and that he showed some ability to play the position the last time they had him in the facility.
Very interesting.
On a side note, he said the virtual offseason last season hurt the 1st year players because they couldn't get on-the-field instruction. He mentioned only 1 player by name - Willie Gay. I get the impression Andy thinks he's going to break out with the proper offseason work. [Reply]
