Wylie isn't good & Smith is playing hurt so they are already playing at a disadvantage. Today Brown wasn't very good at all. This line is big and physical so runs would probably help. Today the run game was puzzling it seemed like most of the runs took a few seconds to develop [Reply]

I never understood the excitement for a guy who was a run blocking specialist first and foremost, but to be honest I thought he was decent last year. He looks like he's regressed.
You're right, he does look like he's regressed. The weight he lost in the off season is NOT helping his quickness at all. Maybe it takes something away from his game, especially when run blocking. [Reply]

Wylie has been better that OBJ this year, as bad as that is. [Reply]

OBJr is a RT and he needs to embrace it. He should prefer to be in a role where he's good rather than one where he struggles. It's silly. [Reply]
We're going to have to flat out replace him. Let him be some other team's problem, even if we can't get a solid return for him. Simply cannot pay him anywhere near what he wants... [Reply]

Which leads me to wonder if he will have the self awareness to stop asking to be top of the heap in guaranteed money. [Reply]
The Chiefs bring in Khalen Saunders to lead block for CEH on the goal line. Saunders blows up the linebacker, but no one else on the KC offensive line wins. pic.twitter.com/rUdTy1lLWZ

Eli Apple said we were in the AFC championship game too.

His dad passed away in 2011. But I agree, it's a no-go for me too. If he can't accept being paid like a decent RT - which even that may be a stretch - then you have to be smart and just move on. You can't give mediocre players big contracts when you're paying a franchise QB. [Reply]
