The Sunday night matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons will feature a different look for the offense. Following the noticeable struggles at left tackle during last week’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, changes are planned for Week 3.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed his plan to play Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris at left tackle vs. The Falcons during Friday’s press conference.
“The two tackles will both have an opportunity to get in there this game. The left tackles,” said Reid, “We’ll see how it goes as we roll. They’re both ready to go.”
Suamataia’s performance heavily influenced the decision. The rookie allowed five total pressures, including two sacks, and drew three flags against the Bengals. Morris replaced the rookie in the fourth quarter.
“In the second half, he (Kingsley Suamataia) had a couple (of) breakdowns in technique, and he had one or two mental errors there,” said offensive line coach Andy Heck on Thursday. “I think it was earlier in the game that those occurred, but stuff that he was able to look at, we’re able to make corrections in our meeting, and stuff he’s working on this week.”
No official word on the number of snaps for each player on Sunday night was available, as the number could be based on initial performances throughout the game.
