Brandon Albert was the starter at left tackle for the first 12 games, then Reid inserted Donald Stephenson for the last four games.

Fisher had been yanked by that point and really needed to some time to just watch and learn.

He mostly played on special teams after being Inactive for Week 12.

Which is why I'm not nervous about starting Niang or a rookie at LT.

Not sure if posted, but this is positive news. Clearly practicing the LT movements.

I remember the same thing with Derrick Johnson

Derrick Johnson was just being outshined by the force that was Kendrell Bell.

Oh shit. Every video from before that I’ve seen he’s been practicing for RT, but this is the first I’ve seen of him practicing LT.

That definitely means something.

Bittersweet day for me as my guy @Kbniang8 leaves the @BxMovement and heads to KC to for the #ChiefsKingdom!

Spent the last year taking no days off, working so hard to be ready for exactly this. No vacations, no parties.

Just work.

KC is getting a good one. Proud of him! pic.twitter.com/9FH51PMmNp

Our entire season might just depend on the play of Niang. I hope he's ready.

He can catch better than DRob!

Man, I don't know about Naing playing LT. It kind of reminds me of Bronco fans looking at QB during training camp and thinking it's gonna work out fine.

Biggest thing to take out of the recent twitter drop on Niang is that he's been working out for 12 months straight.....with the trainer suggesting no hiccups for injuries or needing time off to rest and with real attitude to getting the work in.

That would suggest Niang was healthy 12 months ago, is healthy now, didn't just sit on his ass and wait to get going when the next draft class arrived, and should be very fucking hungry to make a mark in the NFL.
