We know there are gonna be some hiccups, and we just gotta keep getting better and better as we go, that\u2019s the important thing. The guys are working hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked specifically if Morris would be the starting left tackle in Week 7, Big Red said, \u201cYeah, Wayna will start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his press conference on Monday, Reid admitted that he feels \u201clucky\u201d to have two young left tackles with plenty of room for growth.<\/p>\n<div title=\"Page 2\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div title=\"Page 2\">\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe obviously looked at that and we\u2019ll just \u2013 both of them can do better,\u201d Reid said. \u201cWanya knows what he has to work on and likewise Kingsley [Suamataia] does and we\u2019re lucky to have both of the guys \u2014 both young guys. We\u2019re kind of growing with them here so we\u2019ll just kind of let that process keep rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Wanya Morris Has Fared as Starter<\/h2>\n<p>Morris became Kansas City\u2019s full-time starting left tackle in Week 3 after Suamataia, a rookie second-round pick, struggled during the first two weeks of the regular season. During the team\u2019s most recent outing, which was in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, Morris surrendered a season-high four pressures (two QB hurries, one sack, one QB hit), per PFF.<\/p>\n<p>Morris\u2019 60.0 PFF pass-blocking grade on the season ranks 48th among offensive tackles who have played at least 50% of their team\u2019s offensive snaps. His 49.2 run-blocking grade ranks 59th overall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"autors-widget\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"autors-container-0\"><iframe id=\"master-1\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/syndicatedsearch.goog\/afs\/ads?psid=5134551505&amp;channel=AutoRsVariant&amp;cx=r-047e48e98be58d7a1&amp;fexp=21404%2C17301431%2C17301432%2C17301436%2C17301542%2C17301266%2C72717107&amp;client=pub-3052636440995168&amp;r=m&amp;hl=en&amp;rpbu=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&amp;rpqp=q&amp;type=3&amp;rs_tt=c&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;format=r5&amp;nocache=4861729130460383&amp;num=0&amp;output=afd_ads&amp;domain_name=sport365.boonovel.com&amp;v=3&amp;bsl=10&amp;pac=0&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_tz=420&amp;dt=1729130460384&amp;u_w=1920&amp;u_h=1080&amp;biw=1903&amp;bih=919&amp;psw=1903&amp;psh=5407&amp;frm=0&amp;uio=-&amp;cont=autors-container-0&amp;drt=0&amp;jsid=csa&amp;nfp=1&amp;jsv=683617201&amp;rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsport365.boonovel.com%2Fchiefs-hc-andy-reid-declares-kc-will-stick-with-key-starter-vs-49ers%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0jxHeoaOsNSjB2Mlk3apaI_6VSs7IwStiFAKruMZ15e-z8zcyph-zn-0k_aem_u4Unp2Njnpvl_X-MVbn99Q\" name=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;master-1&quot;,&quot;master-1&quot;:{&quot;container&quot;:&quot;autors-container-0&quot;,&quot;styleId&quot;:&quot;5134551505&quot;,&quot;channel&quot;:&quot;AutoRsVariant&quot;,&quot;cx&quot;:&quot;r-047e48e98be58d7a1&quot;,&quot;domainName&quot;:&quot;sport365.boonovel.com&quot;,&quot;fexp&quot;:&quot;21404,17301431,17301432,17301436,17301542,17301266,72717107&quot;,&quot;masterNumber&quot;:1,&quot;number&quot;:0,&quot;pubId&quot;:&quot;pub-3052636440995168&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;m&quot;,&quot;hl&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;resultsPageBaseUrl&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/google.com&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:1,&quot;horizontalAlignment&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;resultsPageQueryParam&quot;:&quot;q&quot;,&quot;relatedSearchUseResultCallback&quot;:true,&quot;ie&quot;:&quot;UTF-8&quot;,&quot;maxTop&quot;:0,&quot;minTop&quot;:0,&quot;oe&quot;:&quot;UTF-8&quot;,&quot;relatedSearches&quot;:5,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;relatedsearch&quot;,&quot;linkTarget&quot;:&quot;_blank&quot;,&quot;fontSizeTitle&quot;:18,&quot;fontSizeAttribution&quot;:13,&quot;relatedSearchTargeting&quot;:&quot;content&quot;}}\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-observe=\"1\" data-lle=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Simply put, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions are not getting a high level of play at the left tackle spot.

It will bring out the best in Mahomes, KC will win behind his best game of the year, 30-20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m probably setting myself up for huge disappointment, but I truly believe the @49ers get this one against the Chiefs,\u201d another person wrote. \u201cNot even worried or nervous about the game. Just feel they will win this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the Chiefs of 5 years ago, when the defense was vulnerable,\u201d another person wrote. \u201cThis year, the Chiefs are 5-0 primarily because of their defense. And it\u2019s a defense that gave us problems in the SB last year when we had CMC. I expect that the 49ers offense will struggle in this game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Devon Clements covers the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts for Heavy.com.
