      Not only that, they don't have enough bodies. IMHO, when you have a unit of big bodies that is lacking in premium talent, one way to improve the play is to have a lot of bodies that you can rotate in to keep them relatively fresh and un depleted. Big bodies tire faster. If you have a deep rotation of even average journeyman talent that don't have to play every snap, they at least have the advantage of being less depleted than the opposing DL in the 4th quarter. We only have 8 OL rostered. Five have to be in on every offense play. If you have two guys injured, like we have now, that leaves one reserve OL, and that means the same five will play every offensive snap, with the reserve being held back in case of injury. If we had nine or 10 OL rostered, they could be rotated with everyone playing fewer snaps. I think that would make a difference in the 4th quarter. IMHO, we could drop a WR, RB, LB or QB from the bottom of the depth chart in order to add more OL.

        I thought the Bolts should have kept Drango on the roster. His shuffle in pass pro is not great, but better than Tevi...and Tevi is actually better than Scott...ouch...

          We should have 10 OL rostered IMO given the lack of talent and the incessant injuries. The problem is, they want to keep 3 QBs, and for awhile they had to keep two place kickers while Badgley was injured, and now there are two long snappers on the roster. It's FUBAR.

            Look at Queensbury and how he's filling in nicely. Some of those back end guys finally get their day and are a nice surprise. TT shoulda stocked his stable with more of them types. However, the guys that got injured were previously durable. Heh, fire the conditioning coach!

                    I doubt more than a few Chiefs fans are going to Mexico City. Doubt there are many Chiefs fans in Mexico City.

                    First neutral field since London - where evidently a few in the league office are pressuring Senor Spanos and his team to vamos.

                      Trey Pipkens will be a monster in this game - mark my words! Scott will get help.

                        Kinda sucks don't it ?

                        I see from Bolt-O's injury report that Ogbah and Okafor are out,
                        but Frank Clark is back.

                        Maybe TScott and Pipkens will have a chance.

                        It's always about matchups.

                        I wish Rayshawn had not said anything about Tyreek...what on earth ?
                        We do not play modern football.

                          The Chargers finally have a Home Game with the crowd routing for them instead of the other team. Took almost two years for them to get the Home Field Advantage but its here.
