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.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
