I would just like to say, half a day too late, that I am not concerned about Thuney.
Guy is a far better version of Ryan Lilja. He's technique and chemistry and brains.
That won't stand out in camp while things are gelling, it won't stand out in one-on-ones against Chris Jones, and it may not emerge for the first month of the season.

Trey Smith I think has just about secured the starting spot. He only needs to demonstrate consistency throughout the rest of the preseason, stay healthy, and he's got it. I'm not sure Niang has shown enough to not give the job back to Remmers.
And again, there's nothing wrong with that for now, particularly if that's who Reid trusts to do the best job in the short term.

3 rookies on an OL that cost us a Super Bowl is not a slam dunk idea.

but, there is this too. As long as he’s not running around for 500 yards a game. [Reply]

Von + Shelby Harris + Dremont Jones + Bradley Chubb is about as good as it gets in the NFL right now.

But he's a homerun.
They need him to play DE full time. In the last couple of weeks he has proven he is a natural at the position. And BTW, get every one of our DE’s into a Pilates class ASAP. [Reply]
Long-time lurker - enjoyed the thread. Have been keeping up quite a bit this year with camp and to me the surprises have been Willie Gay and Trey Smith. Was thinking - who would you rather have breakout (Sneed type seasons) out of those two?
Don’t think Chiefs have gotten great LB play since Spags got here. Having Gay step up would give them a star at all 3 levels at a position that is likely to make more splash plays. On the other hand, I don’t know how you stop the offense if they have elite interior line play and can run the ball at a much more efficient clip. Thoughts? [Reply]

Gay all day. It's just a higher impact position. [Reply]
