Wade Smith is not a LT…barely serviceable back up as guard. Herb Taylor played a full game at LT last year and did an adequate job. I thought for sure he’d be our RT. He must not be big enough. He’s way better than Richardson as a LT. He’s more of a dancing bear than road grader. Goff has looked very bad. I hope we get Herbie back to either play for the injured Albert or to take Goff’s spot.

Exactly right Booger, Allenman actually moved some people when and were running the ball with success. Alleman should start over Goff, Goff is slightly better in pass protection but Alleman looked a heck of a lot better with the running game.

We also found out that Wade Smith is NOT a LT. lol

-”Either way, let Ndukwe and Alleman fight it out for the RG spot and send Goff packing.”

My thoughts exactly. As often as Goff gets beat on the O-line, not sure why he would even be out there with the FG team.

the announcers in last weeks game against the Giants said the left G on the FG unit (Goff) sticks his head down and they picked up on it(the giants special teams coaches) and would try to exploit it.
Yea I heard that too. I was surprised the Giants didn’t do anything about it. I guess the Cowboys had someone watching the game and heard that, too bad for the Chiefs. I think there was a good effort put in today and I hope we can pull off a victory next week against the Redskins. Go Chiefs!

Really, i am having reacurring nightmares of Adrian Jones at RG with Herm saying the OL just needs to jell. Somebody stop the pain.

speaking of Goff, Alleman looked better when Goff went out with a injury. It’s painfully obvious that Goff doesn’t have the gas left in the tank they thought/hoped he would when they signed him.

With Albert hurt and his injury unknown, it could be a safe bet to assume they will activate Barry Richardson from the taxi squad, or pick up another player capable of playing LT. Maybe Herb Taylor though that depends on what the new staff thinks of him.

Either way, let Ndukwe and Alleman fight it out for the RG spot and send Goff packing. Sometimes players are too proud to admit they have nothing left.

the announcers in last weeks game against the Giants said the left G on the FG unit (Goff) sticks his head down and they picked up on it(the giants special teams coaches) and would try to exploit it. I guess tv telecasts aren’t reported to the GM or Coach. I can understand that. Sometimes something simple like that info would help out.

Hopefully it gets corrected this week. Embarrassing how low of center of gravity Goff gets on the FG trys. Looks like he is the one snapping when it is obviously Gafford. He has the excuse to do that. Goff doesn’t unless he just likes counting the blades of grass.
