Yes, but again he's only better than the backups at his position specifically. He's not versatile enough to have active as a backup so until the team is ready to make him the starter he will, baring some more injuries, be inactive on game day. He's not jelling by sitting the bench regardless and he would be limiting the team's options in the event of an injury on the line that wasn't his specific position.

He's still getting work in practice obviously. 

He's good enough now to be a starter. I mean we are missing out on a starter because others are bad at muliple positions?

I said before that he should probably be starting. The discussion you quoted me on wasn't about why he's not starting but rather about why he's inactive. It's because the team isn't ready to start him and he doesn't have value as an active backup versus more versatile players.

He will be active when he's named as a starter and not before for this reason.

He dropped 34 pounds from Senior bowl to draft.  WTF does Rhule expect.  Put his big ass on the field if he gets tired.  Sub him out for a series or two. 

Rhule doesn't get it,  Running game is #1.  Brown is clearly the guy you want in the running game.  Open up some damn holes and that opens the play action and wide open receivers.

MATT RHULE stop playing college football and join the NFL. 

mans kneecaps gonna disintegrate on the opening drive if he's out of shape

Yes but the question is how can he ever be a starter if he isn't given the opportunity. I mean if he's not ready say that. Not that he isn't versital. I mean Moton is versital but they refuse to use him on the left side. Its contradictory. Especially when you're starting guys like Elflein.

This is based on what?  Speculation?  Casual observation of him against backups?  Or professional evaluation?  Please elaborate.

Based on the observation on the talent above him. I'm not saying he's all pro. I'm saying the guys above him will never even be starters much less all pro. So after a good showing in preseason why are we waiting? To get Sam killed? This is Rivera type BS we dealt with for years.

It's not contradictory in that Rhule was answering questions specifically about why he wasn't active not why he wasn't a starter but his answer explained both reasons and it's that he believes he's not ready to start and he's not versatile enough to be an active backup. I've explained it more than once. I'm not going to bother doing so again. You just clearly don't understand the point that I'm making.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
