He should be coming back soon right? We have to get Wylie off the field guys. He’s been responsible for large number of Patrick’s hits and pressures. He just looks completely outmatched out there.
Hopefully Andy either uses Rankin or moves Remmers to RG when Schwartz gets back bc this is getting pretty damn bad
On the second sack. The DT gets wide on Wylie. He used his right arm to bat down Wylie’s punch. Used his left arm as a club and swim move over the top when he propels him forward. No quick outlet for Mahomes. pic.twitter.com/Ixb4PlcpW3

That’s my hope as well. I’d feel absolutely fine with that line.
Getting Niang next year will help too. I’m going to assume that we’ll draft at least 1 more OL and sign another.
The OL build for the second phase of the Mahomes era has already started. [Reply]
Martinas Rankin had like one good game at guard last year, folks. Then he got injured. Before he arrived in KC, he was doing the same shit that Wylie was doing and getting Deshaun Watson killed, except he did it as a tackle and not a guard.
He got all his good snaps at LG last year. We would be asking him to play RG. Does that make a difference? I don't know. Sometimes it seems to make a huge difference. Other times it doesn't. If he was balls bad at tackle for Houston and good for a game or two at LG in KC, he could be one of those players who needs time to adjust to the other side of the line.
On top of all that, he hasn't practiced/played since midseason last year. And it was a serious injury at that. It's taken him this long to recover enough just to practice. We're expecting this guy is going to fix our OL problems?
Basically... he's a huuuuuuuuge fucking question mark, and I don't know why people talk about him as much as they do around here. He's a promising player, sure, but that's all he is at the moment. [Reply]

I tend to agree.
He also has an sketchy injury history at this point. He's been hurt a lot. [Reply]
