Oh really? Then why was the Chiefs O-Line coach wanting them to draft Russel Okung last year?

That article was also posted on the Seahawks web site, so it's confirmed, not speculation. And Albert regressed badly at the end of the end of this season. If they are happy with that, they are complete, utter fools.
Sorry, but I don't believe that for one minute. I really believe Albert would flourish at the LG position. Keeping Albert at LT is what's really counter productive. And who says that a good rookie LT can't come in and help an O-Line be productive? Look no further than the guy mentioned above, Russell Okung, and do take note that the Seahawks are advancing in the post-season and the Chiefs aren't & it can traced to the great pass protection Okung gave Hasselbeck in the Hawks game against the Saints. Albert has proven that he can't get it done for the Chiefs QB's when the Chiefs fall behind and have to throw the ball.
His play at LT has not been good enough those two years, having his role change by moving him to Guard to take over Waters spot would not only be an upgrade, it would change his role for the better.
They'd be better served to plug Asamoah into Right Guard as Lilja is too small and, as somebody else suggested, move Lilja to Center.
And one and done in the post-season is the route that the Chiefs will be going ( if they make it back to the post season in the first place ), as long as Pioli keeps up with that trend.
