Tremble looked really good today. Caught some nice passes. 

 

Christensen is still a backup RT

Why aren't they playing him at RG or LG??? He is not going to play over Moton and has got to be an upgrade over Eiflien or Miller. Rhule claims he wants the best 5 on the line no matter the position. I like him getting reps as the swing tackle just in case, but if he is a "second round guard" why is he not getting any work there...

Moton did not start a single game his rookie year, playing only 6% of the snaps.  I guess they have a longer term view than we do.  If RT backup is the plan, BC will grow and develop well behind Moton.

When Moton was taking reps at LT, I had hope the BC could earn the RT spot, but I understand that they are easing the rookies in, which is the smart play.   Even those of us predicting BC would earn a starting spot somewhere were not saying it would be day one.  Behind Moton, who is rarely hurt, it seems BC isn't going to play as much.   Lets just see how this plays out.

This oline has been a wild ride. 

Someone will probably surprise us and someone will probably disappoint.

Don't forget Christenson is already 24... he should be pretty much ready.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
