Right now, here are the A, B and C lines, from left tackle to right tackle:

A – Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Adrian Jones and Damion McIntosh.
B – Herb Taylor, Tre Stallings, Wade Smith, Anthony Alabi and Barry Richardson.
C – Edwin Harrison, Travis Leffew, Rob Smith, L.J. Anderson and Ken Shackleford.

Obviously, the A line looks like a starting group, but Edwards only smiles when that’s mentioned.

"If there’s anybody on our offensive line that thinks they have a job wrapped up then they haven’t been paying attention," Edwards said. "We are going to play the five best players we have on the offensive line. I can assure you of that."

McDuffie is completely absent.

Something’s not being mentioned here…

McDuffie

“The Chiefs head coach has designated an A line, B line and C line, with a few guys left over to help out if there are any problems.”

As an UDFA, could he be one of the “few guys left over”

I'm picking up what you're putting down

Now, is that a complimentary nickname or a derogatory one?

I took it to mean Jones is currently over rated by Herm

and will get massacred.

Continuity

I like what I’m hearing from Herm about making decisions regarding the O Line:

After the first week of camp, we’ll know our starting offensive line," said Edwards.

Now injuries were part of the problem last year, but I feel that Herm took this competition thing too far into the preseason games last year. Seems like we should make most of the decisions no later than after the first or second game, and then give the o-line especially some game time to work together. Yes there is a risk of injuries. And last year there were a lot of people nicked up as I recall and LJ not reporting for a while, so cohesiveness was hurt. But generally, I’d like to see the last three weeks of the pre-season time used more to actually prepare for the season, and end the evaluation period a little sooner.

Herm’s comment makes me think they’re moving that direction this year, with decisions being made after one week of CAMP or so, much less after the first pre-season game.
