Been watching Christensen and Brown all night. They are by far the most competent linemen on the field not named Moton. 

At some point they will have to start Moton on the left because the drop off on the right will be less significant than the improvement on the left.

Yeah, the math just works out that way.

Can you imagine how pissed Moton could be if after signing his big extension they tell him he’s playing LT? If it works this could be the best move our FO has ever made.

He should be mad at his agent if he did not put some escalation clauses into the deal if that happens.  TE/WR agents used to argue that--if the TE was out wide more than tight...Not sure how that all works, however.

There was a comment around earlier that he has a clause in his contract - he gets a bonus for every snap he takes at LT.

Penei Sewell struggling at RT right now for the Lion's so look on the bright side. Rookies take time at T in the NFL and looking better then a top 10 can't miss pick counts for something I would think.

I liked Brown the 1st gm and think he held up ok this game just give him a yr and I think he competes for the RG spot.

I'm not surprised by that - I never understood the hype around Sewell. He doesn't have elite length and is raw as hell.

Sounds like a good time to trade that 7th we got for Little for him.

Been telling people this, I felt it was dumb when Rivera and Hurney locked Moton into RT when Daryl Williams got hurt when they tried to force him to play LT coming off his injury. 

It should have been back then - Moton / Reed & someone else went to NYJ / Paradis / Turner / Williams

Now it should be - Moton / Elflein / Paradis / Brown / Christensen -- Erving, Scott, Daley, and Miller as the key reserves. 

I think that unit gives us the best ''all around'' offensive line.

Sewell hasn't played football in a year (opted out for COVID) and the Lions are asking him to change from LT to RT. It's not surprising at all that's he's struggling a little bit.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
