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.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
