Sorry, they need to start Christensen over Daley and get this young man used to NFL play.  I don't like idea of moving him to the right side anyway.  Maybe he'll have enough snaps under his belt to slide over to LT by next season and beat out Erving.  Dude ain't getting any better on the sideline.

I would prefer this as well.  But I'm not an offensive line coach.  I have to remind myself that these offensive line kids are not conditioned for the long nfl season. Very few are able to handle that kind of worked load much less learn all the protections.  Sometimes they are forced to start out if necessity for bad teams, maybe we are ine of them, but it's not the preferred route for coaches. 

Christensen may be able to start soon but the big boy Brown may take some time on the conditioning side to be able to start.

It wouldn't make me cry to see Deonte get some snaps this week.

Obviously he isn't ready to start, and his position flexibility is non-existent.  However, this might be the best chance he has this year:  get on the bench when someone is injured and grabbing a few snaps here or there.  Maybe he turns some heads in those reps, best case scenario.

Addition by subtraction.   This might  be the beginning of the end for elf. Lose his position to a younger better player that got thrown into the mix earlier than expected 

Who is younger and better? It ain’t Daley. Christenson meh. And Brown isn’t getting a chance (right or wrong) until his weight drops.

Didn’t we see this same Story with Norwell and Rivera?  Norwell was the clear better but it took an injury to the starter that was struggling before Rivera put him in?

It was a lot farther along in the season, if my memory serves me right. I don't see anything wrong with bringing rookies along slowly. The "throw them into the fire" philosophy often backfires.

I completely understand the desire to start the younger (and at some point likely better) options now...however, coaches need Sam to be calm, do his job, and not get panicked.  A couple/few missed blitzes by the youngins, and we could undo a lot of work that's gone into Sam already.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
