Both were pretty bad. But I get what you're saying about the run blocking, especially since this is supposed to be an elite run blocking OL. Today it was horrendous. [Reply]

Admittedly I was playing in poker tournament while watching but looked like Mahomes was holding onto the ball sometimes. But ya def not a good performance by the line...and OBJ in particular [Reply]
Would really like to see Geron Christian get a shot to start at RT. It would at least let them know if they have to look for both next year or not. It's painfully obvious they need to spend some capital and move up in round 1 for a LT. Re-signing OBJ cannot be the plan, he's horrendous blocking any type of speed on the edge. [Reply]
What a blessing it was that OBJ declined our offer. Dude is not worth that money. As others have said in this thread, sign him at RT money and play him there or move on. [Reply]
The OL overhaul is basically only part finished. The IOL will be fine but if you can't sort OTs it's pretty worthless. Agree with others, OBJ can go to RT. The whole wanting to play LT because of his dad was a nice story but, sorry, he's not a top 5 OT and he can't have market leading pay.
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. [Reply]

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]

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]
