I have to say… I liked what I saw out of Christensen

On that Terrace Marshall play

 

busted coverage and Brady forming a wall on the right allowed PJ to get this pass off. I watched other plays and was impressed with this young man

 

 

yes it’s preseason

yes its backups but I saw on one play more than I’ve seen out of Greg Little in 2 years

Those ‘short arms’ looked to be working just fine

The left side of the OL was so awful all game that I doubt Brady had time to give up much pressure before the left tackle beat him to it. Still, after the negative reports out of camp I was at least somewhat pleasantly surprised by him today.

I still don't get why we're playing him at right tackle when we just re-signed Moton, especially when we need help at guard as well.

His best skills are finesse blocking, he's not a road grader and can get bull rushed pretty easy so I have no Idea why they think he was 2nd round guard 3rd round tackle. Glad he transitioned to the right side fairly smoothly but zero reason to not give him some LT reps considering the alternatives considering that was his only position in college

He did well overall, but there were a few snaps were he was straight beat, like just a speed bump.  PJ got the ball out quickly on those plays, but would definitely count as pressures allowed and could have been sacks if PJ held on another second.

Christensen isn't even on the depth chart at LG and you want to make him a starter there?

we have a vet LG that you've never seen take a snap but you want to replace him already with rookie who you haven't seen take a snap there who was a college tackle...just odd

All the tea leaves keep reading that Moton is gonna end up at LT IMO.

Agree with you on this one. Thinking it will be Moton on the left and Christensen on the right (maybe not the first game, but eventually).

I won't be surprised if this really comes to fruition after they return to Charlotte and get to real closed practices.

Ive seen him take plenty of snaps....5 best lineman just like Rhule says.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
