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

Oh, I'm sure it's gonna happen at some point. The odds of Erving playing all 17 games seems unlikely at best.

I'd agree with that

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

I hope we bring back Okung.  Even if he misses some games with injury he will steady our line and we'll have a stable o decent backups.

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. 

[Zod]

Look at that big sumbich 77 Deonte Brown. 

He has been splitting second team reps at right guard. Him next to Moton would be an amazing thing if he improves. 

 

[BrianS]

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.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, from a scheme fit the Deonte Brown pick didn't make much sense to me, but in the 6th round? Ah hell, why not?

I hope this shitty O-Line can get better playing against guys like Brown and Burns like how Gross got better practicing against Peppers. If the D-Line is eating their lunch every day it's going to be a long season.
