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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      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
