In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him? [Reply]

If Veach thinks he'll be ready by Training Camp in August, Fisher will have had 6 full months of rehab to that point, with another 6 weeks before the season begins.
Even if it takes a full nine months before he's returned to the starting lineup, we're looking at October 1, 2021, not late November or December.
Written by an MD and specifically stating that recovery times usually approach or exceed 6 months.
I do think this happening to an OL is better than skill players. Fisher isn’t going to be sprinting, cutting or stopping on a dime. He’ll pull but not every down or too often. What he’s required to do seems to not be as stressful on his Achilles.
Now if it were someone like Tyreek who depends on those things? Yeah I’d say he wouldn’t be himself for awhile. [Reply]

We run a lot to the perimeter, screens, misdirection etc that require the linemen to move more than other offenses. For the most part, I agree though. [Reply]

Rudolph would probably make a solid 1-2 back up for Kelce.
And as far as all the Lb talk. SMOKE SCREEN. Veach created the lb narrative the year we went up for Mahomes, hell the talking heads thought we were trading for a line backer. This is all part of his smoke screen. [Reply]
