Did Christensen play all snaps yesterday?

It also sheds some light onto the coaches moving Moton to LT while Erving was out instead of starting Scott there.

If it was me, I'd just put BC at LT and had left Moton at RT.    I think their wingspan requirement for LT is an old coaches tale that isn't supported by data, and if it is, its self fulfilling.

If it works out, I'm find with the switch, but it wouldn't had been my play.

My mind is just boggled as to why they don't even try Christensen at LT when that's what he played in college. Like not even trying to play him at the position he's the most familiar with ? 

Rhule said arm length. 

Moton does have the higher ceiling and LT is the blind side so if it works out, it is the better scenerio.  

BC gave up no sacks yesterday, his first performance in the NFL in 2 new positions.  Yes it was against 2s an 3s, but had he not looked good, it would be a red flag.  No complaints here for yesterdays performance.

Lots of college LTs change positions in the NFL. They've determined he simply doesn't have LT traits. I'm with you though that I don't see the issue of at least giving him a look there since we're playing musical chairs everywhere else.

Imagine if Moton goes down for any period of time 😳

I think pretty much any team that loses one of its starting tackles is looking for a short season at this point. Good tackles are rare, great tackles are just about unheard of. I don't think any head coach feels good about tackle depth on their team.

Giants who can dance, throw around 300 lb. men and take a beating for 60 minutes with no rest just don't grow on trees. Just ask Vince McMahon and the WWE.

I agree with you but we are in a state where our current starter has a track record of being terrible, and injury prone. Our backup is on the level of most teams practice squad.

It is odd that we are taking two tackles that have performed well in the past on certain sides (and not the other) and have flipped them this year to play the other side. 

Not saying it couldn't work or that you don't put your best T on the left....just curious why we don't want the round peg in the round hole.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
