Alot of merit to this Roundup. While it's not impossible, you're certainly correct in it making it much more difficult.
All of us have a power leg and a quick leg. It's easiest to find either watching someone do layups or letting them fall and catch themselves when you tell them to fall and you'll catch them. If they routinely jump off the left leg when doing layups, that's their power leg, and the other is their quick-step/coordinated leg. If you let someone fall towards you, telling them you'll catch their fall, but then just let them "fall," they'll naturally stop their own fall by quickly putting out their quick-step leg to stop it.
This is used often in track and field to determine which foot to set forward in starting blocks (the power leg) and which to set back.
The same premise applies in football. If you have someone with a left-dominant power leg, they "should" play the right side of the offensive line, and vice versa. This allows them to more quickly make movements to the side of the line they are playing. Particularly, players now use the "drive and catch" method and not the old-school "bucket step." While the power vs quick leg matters in either case, it matters more in the drive and catch because you're no longer just turning on a pivot and stepping in a bucket, you're using your power leg to readjust your hips to create an advantageous angle quickly.

My Power Leg is the one in the middle- between the left and right.
I think Chiefs and CJ will have an extension done by Tuesday. Not sure it’s the smartest move long-term, but definitely keeps us stronger in the middle and makes our defense a lot more formidable on passing downs.

Both more likely options than CJ at this point.

I don't think it's Jones either. But with the ties between the Eagles and Chiefs right now... and when you add in Baldinger having his ties to the Chiefs, it caused me to pause for a second.
