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.

Still could down the road.

Mind you, those are the kinds of decisions I'd really rather get made before the season starts.

Tends to get knocked back pretty far on initial contact. Tends to hold on too long to where it's very noticeable. Saw at least two hands to the face.

He was getting bull rushed by linebackers at the BYU level, not promising as a 24 year old rookie.  Also has some horrible BYU film falling forward on run plays. The only reach in the draft IMO

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"?

I usually rely on you experts for comments but I believe he needs to get up to speed with the NFL and improve his techniques.  I don't think he is going to be Little 2.0.  All I've heard about Christensen was how athletic he is.  If that remains the same.  He'll adjust and improve. 

My $.02

Was he? I’m no expert, but the clips I watched, he completely dominated in pass coverage. But, like you said, his run blocking needs a lot of work.

Not sure Deonte makes the team at this point.  Yea, he's big and physical, but historically we've asked our guards to be able to move.  Not sure last year really gave us the best read on our offense, but I can't see Deonte being able to do the sorts of things Norwell did as far as movement goes.

He looks like he'd be a great fit in a power run scheme, just not sure he's mobile enough for Joe Brady.  Maybe we keep him around for first and goal from the 2.  Hard to argue that our red zone offense was worth a dime last year.

      Predictions from observer staff on game today

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Game predictions All three of our predictors guessed last week that the Panthers would lose to the Miami Dolphins. All were wrong. That moves Fowler to 4-1 on the year, with Kaye and Zietlow each at 1-4. Fowler: Panthers 30, Dallas 27. The Cowboys are known for playing entertaining games this season due to a high-powered offense and low-level defense. I think Carolina pulls the mild upset here, with Bryce Young playing about as well as Dak Prescott and Carolina’s running game providing the difference. Bonus prediction: Tetairoa McMillan scores his first NFL TD. Kaye: Cowboys 33, Panthers 30.  The top offense in the league is likely to come out firing on Sunday, as Dallas looks to get over the .500 hump after five games (including one tie). Will the Panthers be able to keep pace? I actually think they will, for the most part. There’s a lot of boom-or-bust to the Cowboys’ defense, and while the unit is starting to find its footing, I think Bryce Young will still have a good afternoon. Look for Tetairoa McMillan to catch his first touchdown pass in a shootout. But I still think Dallas has a better brand of ball at the moment.   Zietlow: Cowboys 35, Panthers 31.                    I look at the Cowboys’ league-worst third-down percentage as a defense and can’t help but feel some optimism. Tag that with the other opportunities this defense could allow for Bryce Young, and a motivated Rico Dowdle, and a refreshed Xavier Legette ... and there’s excitement, for sure. Still, the Cowboys have gone toe-to-toe with the NFL’s best this season. Their quarterback is electric. Their tight end is prolific. Their defensive secondary is due for one of its patented turnover bonanzas. And to top it all off ... the Panthers will have a “home field advantage” in name only. There will be a lot of Cowboys fans in the crowd. A lot. It just doesn’t add up to a Panthers win to me. I’m rolling with America’s Team.
