I think Erving is the starter. Not as good as Oher. Not as bad as Bell. Somewhere in between.

If he's serviceable we can roll protections his way. I have to wonder if Christensen was further along if they would've rolled with Moton at LT and Christensen at RT.

Tell me more about Christensen. What type of "very raw" are we talking about here? Like this guy needs work on technique and adjusting to the NFL, but shows the physical talent type "very raw" or the why the fug did Hurney draft this guy in the 2nd round type "very raw"?

He’s a rookie…fitt took him round 3 this year

Has anyone stood out at FS? Heard Sam Franklin had a rough day. Also assuming Burris gets the start but have you seen Myles Hartsfield or Kenny Robinson make enough noise to make it a close race @Zod? Thanks for the content btw.

The e & e guys were the first FA that fitt signed

I don't think anyone has unseated Burris yet. Franklin is most likely to.

Has YGM done anything?  Have not seen him mentioned really.  Any gauge on our run defense?

Not that I have seen. Honestly it's Burns, Brown, Horn, and Chinn show. Those guys are exciting on every damn play it seems. 

 

Then again, ygm lined up against Moton the most. May have something to do with it.

@Zod What about Christian Miller? You seen him in there at all or is he just getting back up to speed? Haven’t heard anything about him.

Today was an almost perfect day to attend Carolina Panthers training camp. Perfect weather, players were in pads, and practice took place on the near field. Really it was a trifecta of good fortune I am very much appreciative of.  On with the thoughts and musings. 

 

- The starting offensive line was most commonly:  Erving - Eiflen - Paradis - Miller - Moton . I would be shocked if this was not our week one offensive line. The right side of the line played superior to the left, as you can imagine. 

- Moton took all of his reps at RT for the entire day. 

- Brady Christensen also took all his reps at RT on the second string. Christensen still looked very raw to me. He isn't close to being starting material on the right side and won't be playing on the left anytime soon. 

- Robby Anderson is playing with a big chip on his shoulder. Perhaps he is responding to the added competition in the form of Terrace Marshall Jr. After a nice one on one drill, Robby let some emotion out by punting the ball straight up in the air. 

- Derrick Brown is an absolute beast. In one on one drills he basically just bull dozes anyone in front of him and there isn't much they can do about it. This guy is going to have a monster year. 

- The Darnold to Arnold connection is developing quickly. With each passing day the chemistry between them can literally be seen growing. I am having to now temper my expectations. 

- Speaking of Sam Darnold, today was his best day yet. He looked poised, in control, and threw some of the best passes I have seen in camp in many seasons. Still, there were also plenty of sacks from him holding on to the ball too long. I am hoping this will work itself out as he gets more comfortable with the play book. 

- Brian Burns was a force all day today. He lined up on both the left and right side where he got multiple sacks on the day. Mostly against Erving but one also against Moton. 

 

How does DB compare to Kris Jenkins?? Raw power, 2nd year, vs OL, etc.

Is Reddick hurt?  I haven’t heard anything about him in camp.

Let’s not forget the run game…perhaps our OL will be great run blockers and Mac turns it loose

Very possible......I hope.
