Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.
I would rather him be the #1 LT in the NFL and if we have to pay him to be that then its just fine with me. With Mahomes at QB it's probably the second most important position on the team. [Reply]

That could mean that he wouldn't demand top 5 OT money and maybe instead be content with top 10 OT money. And the guy is still young, too. He can get better and learn the stuff that we want him to do better as an OT.
He's going to get top 5 OT money unless he's outright awful. [Reply]

Yep, our running game is going to be next level.
Rush 4- okay we will run it for 6-10 yards. Crowd the line- gut them in the middle of the field with Kelce. Blitz- screen to Clyde. Try to stop the run game- we will burn you deep with Mecole and Reek. [Reply]
I understand the enthusiasm (and I share the basic sentiment).
However, upon review, it appears that Brown relied on "reaching" to maintain hand contact as the speed rushers took the edge on him. In other words, he didn't use his feet to recover position and power. Once that happens, an elite DE will either bend to gain an angle to Mahomes or simply use Brown's lack of balance against him and plant him face-first on the turf.
The elite DEs in the league will watch that game and take notice.

They might be able to get around him once in a while- but they won't be pushing his shit in like having Fisher over there. [Reply]

I brought this same thing up in another thread and was informed I was wrong. Good luck with persuading people with blinders. [Reply]
By all accounts its only the vertical sets (which Andy favors) that are taking a while for him to get the hang of. He didnt use them often in Baltimore. He'll get it, and become a better player because of it. When he uses different more aggressive sets he's been fantastic. [Reply]
We could be talking about whether Fisher will be healthy enough for the opener.
Now we have Zeus!!
Zeus is the god of the sky in ancient Greek mythology. As the chief Greek deity, Zeus is considered the ruler, protector, and father of all gods and humans. Zeus is often depicted as an older man with a beard and is represented by symbols such as the lightning bolt and the eagle. Now he is taking the form of a Left Tackle and playing for the Greatest team in the NFL! [Reply]

isn't Kelce Zeus too?
Well that's cool, 2 Zeus's is better than 1 Zeus [Reply]
Holy fuck. Brown is fucking people up so far, but some dipsticks feel the need to shit on him? Are you serious? He's going to earn yet another All-Pro berth, but some dumb CPers are going to shade him, in spite of the fact that Mahomes hasn't been sacked from his side yet.
