I like the signing and worst case he's good depth on a rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Bringing in a veteran was always an option, but this could be good. At best, he's a near Pro-Bowl level player coming off an injury. At worst he can't play due to the shoulder and we are back where we started. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE have done middling well and considerably better than western Europe. LDT's obvious replacement is Lucas Niang, provided he is healthy enough to go. Failing that, there a lot of suspects--Wylie, Alligretti, Remmers, Rankin, and several rookie candidates. If it's Remmers, then Niang needs to be the swing OT. If they go with Wylie, It will be as a bandaid on the wound. Given time, Yasir Durant and Derryl Williams have potential, J Well I live in AZ and we were the worst in the world at one point not too long ago.🤷♂️ with the Osemele addition I wonder if we see more Wylie back at RG.

onejayhawk Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hopefully not. Wylie is a decent jack of all trades utility guy, but not a starter except in a pinch. AZ has a problem with COVID infected people crossing from Mexico. California too, but they have a better wall. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 More on Osemele. It's a breakdown of four plays that highlight what he brings to the game. I particularly like #3, mobility in a screen play. One note that I was aware but had not considered is that he played LG in the Raven's SB win.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/07/27/kansas-city-chiefs-kelechi-osemele-4-play-film-study/4/ J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Wire has an article out on how OG is developing. According to practice snaps, OG is coming down to Remmers, Wylie, and Osemele. Remmers and Osemele are competing at left guard, while Wylie and Remmers are competing at right guard. Since Remmers is also a potential swing tackle, this may well determine if he backs up everyone but Reiter. The second unit adds Greg Senat, Nick Allegretti, Ran Hunter, Jackson Barton. Notably missing are Martinas Rankin and Chris Williams. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/08/11/kansas-city-chiefs-mike-remmers-andrew-wylie-starting-guards-at-training-camp/ J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Remmers entered the Chargers game as an eligible receiver. Keizer was in less as a blocking TE. Is this a plan going forward? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes is very good at not taking a sack, but he has been flushed from the pocket too often. We don't beat the Chargers without PM's legs. Some of it may be the new focus on run blocking. We were bottom five in run blocking last season but top half so far this season. We are also running more plays with 3 WR, hence one fewer extra blockers, particularly with Kelce in the pattern.

KC_Guy Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 One issue I have read several times about Mahomes is that he, after the planned dropback, tends to drift back even further. This of course leads especially the OT to let go once they sense they have moved the rusher far enough to the back for him to pose any thread ... only to figure out that Mahomes took another two or three steps back and squarely sits in the lane the rusher is taking. I definitely think that's one of the areas Mahomes still has to improve in ... when to step up and when to bail out. I feel he is still avoiding stepping up as it forces him to deliberately give up his outside mobility. Several examples of this during the Chargers game where he had room to step up but chose to bail out, mostly running for his life.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this year that’s going to be a continuing issue because that’s just his style of play. Maybe more designed rollouts like the Hill TD could help? Just have him vacate the pocket entirely to make plays. although one of these days a defender is gonna slam him into the turf if he keeps doing jump passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Bills game shook things up. It looks like Kilgore may have become the starting C. Allegretti looked good at LG, so Remmer does not have to cover that spot. That said, Remmer was a big step down from Schwartz at RT. It is unclear how long Schwartz will be out. Back injuries are tricky and tend to linger. Also in the mix is Martinas Rankin, who is finally coming back from his injury. One wonders if Yasir Durant will see the field anytime soon.

J Without the preseason I feel like I've missed out seeing some of the newer/younger guys. I had no clue we even had Kilgore much less when he became the starter Monday. Another surprise to me is that he's 32 (will be 33 in December). Drafted in '11 by the 9ers in the 5th round, traded to Miami then signed by us. 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Kilgore has been a good player, but he also has mileage. I was impressed with Allegretti, who seems to be moving to G as his full time slot. The injury report had Fisher, but he was full practice and not designated for the game. Reid said that they would be going with Fisher/Allegretti/Kilgore/Wylie/Remmer against Denver. Other than Fisher, the only returning player is the one most of us wanted to upgrade.
