Little better hope to God that he can play LG or he probably won't be around come Sept.

I've said many times I wouldn't try him at guard.

I don't think his body is as much of a problem as his head. This,asking him to learn a new position probably isn't the best idea.

Little will be cut due to numbers--we added 3 OL (Christensen, Brown, and Moore)  and I think all make the roster.  Since I figure we keep no more than 10 OL (Moton, Paradis, Miller, Elflien, Irving, Daley, and Scott)   Little has no future contract coming, might as well cut him and let him go to Buffalo or Washington.

I'd at least make an effort to trade him to Ron and Marty first.

I had expected us to be in on Leno or Fisher, but there has been no noise in that regard. There isn't anything left on the trade market or FA market, which makes that position pretty much set.  Are we really comfortable allowing Erving/Little/Scott/Christensen duke it out to protect our new franchise QBs blindside? What if that fails miserably as history suggests it will? I find it hard to believe our staff shrugged their shoulders at the second most important position in football, but here we are.

Im still salty about the loins picking Sewell.

Okung is still out there, tho Finseeser was with Seahawks when they got rid of him, i have huge doubts about him returning. In fact I think Boston and him have about the same odds to return.

If....if...if only Little wasnt a bust.. This team would be scary if Little proved he could be a LT. dam.

Peters is out there, no idea how he lasted this long, so whats another yr?? If you feel froggy about playoffs.....

I don't think we'll play Christiansen at LG if we think he's the future at LT. At best, Erving is a stop gap. I think they'll want Christiansen preparing for that spot as soon as he's ready.

Matt Rhule disagrees with you:

“He comes from that pro-style offense at BYU so he’s done the things that we are asking guys to do,” Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said. “He’s been doing it there. He’s a tackle candidate that can also go inside and play guard. Again, a great, great, great athlete. Intelligence, the whole package.”

They’ll put the best five on the field. If that means getting the rookie’s feet wet for a while at LG, I don’t think there will be any hesitation. It can only help his development.

I know this is hard, but when I heard about his 32 arms(jesus thats short). I seen a couple pics and his arms do not look "short"....Id know being an arms expert...... Heres another thing, arms are just one part. Hand size and chest matter too. Hes got 10+ inch hands and a huge chest. 35' arms on a 40'chest or 32' arms on a 60' chest? Its like height, you can have a short neck but long torse and legs, but be 5'11. I wonder how NFL measures arms, hmmm wrist to joint?

Checkout his pics, btw I dont think hes the answer at LT

Think about how many LTs are in the league that fans would actually consider good, 8-12?

Think about how old some of them are, mid to late 30s.

Think about all of them that have been drafted in the past 12 to 14 years.

My guess is we will have a middle of road O-line, fans will think it is the worst, our offensive system will help some.

I am happy with Horn over Slater and look forward to see how this shakes out.  Christensen has upside.

Are we really concerned with not signing Fischer when the Chiefs released the guy and they had the worst offensive line problems imaginable?

If Brady Christensen's arm length was 33", he may have gone in the first round because his tape is so good. I'd say the job is his to lose.

I'm not so sure that if it had been a normal process he wasn't a low 1 to mid-2 guy.  You're right his pass-pro looks really good at that level.

We'll just be revisiting the same hole we have had since Gross left. 

We just don't prioritize it or make smart decisions. It's amazing.

Yes, because our team.ignores a position. Especially the LT position. 🙄

 

Wish some of you would just acknowledge that finding a good LT isn't as easy as picking one out of thin air.

    • I hope Horn can stay healthy. (I have his jersey.) He is an elite talent when he is healthy. What’s the plan though, do we roll with Horn and a 5th round pick? Are we going to sign Gilmore? This has to be our worst position based off of the injury concerns. 
    • Duffy:  (Scheme fit)  Player Summary: This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.   His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror.  Scheme Fit: Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense   Dyson Jr. (small school sleeper)     
    • That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over.  I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.
