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]

His knee was on a QB sneak. His ankle was on a rollout. His head/neck was a designed option run.
He hurt his toe due to pass rush.
I get that we need to protect him but it's not really true that he's getting the shit beat out of him because of a lack of pass blocking. [Reply]

Patrick’s injuries didn’t happen from OL protection. His knee injury was from a sneak, his concussion symptom injury was from an option play and his toe injury appeared to be from running as he normally did ina game where he wasn’t under duress.
I think the goal should be to make sure we don’t have Andrew Wylie’s starting anymore.
LDT and Allegretti were fine and will be fine if we have decent C and T’s.
We drafted Niang. Trust your scouts. Draft a C early.

sign Jason Peters as stop-gap/swing tackle/mentor for young'uns like Niang, a new draftee, Wanegho.
sign Justin Britt to a cheap deal.
and week one probably looks like:
Peters/early OT draftee like Eisenberg/Radunz/Little
Osemele
Britt
LDT
Niang
I would expect that Fisher returns at some point, and that Schwartz does not.
If Fisher comes back, then what do you do with Niang? Move him inside? What if he's playing well at RT?
I don't see them drafting a young LT prospect AND keeping Fisher but that's just me. I see that as an either/or situation. [Reply]

Unfortunately, Wylie will be back. Unless some team does something super dumb and offers him a contract the Chiefs don't want to match. [Reply]

And that’s fine as long as he’s never starting at T ever again. Not even a snap. [Reply]

A QB with great protection will get sacked 15-20 times and hit 50+ times in a season. It’s going to happen.
I’m convinced that’s why Andrew Luck retired. His last season, he was only sacked like 14 times and hit 40 times. And he still came away with an injury. [Reply]

Fuck that. I'd rather watch a decrepit old sloth dying of mesothelioma and AIDS protect Mahomes. [Reply]
