Rhule might be wanting Deonte to cut even more weight before he sees the field. Deonte has the agility of a dump truck, but he's about as powerful an o-lineman as you're going to see. Deonte might not be ready mentally to start as well. He might be one of those guys we don't see taking the field until next season.

Our defense is wild and it really tests the o-linemen mentally in practice. We mug a lot and we drop lineman into coverage, or LBs, or anybody could be rushing. It's mentally taxing for a rookie to deal with that split second decision making, and that might be giving Deonte trouble, and we know it gives Christensen trouble. The rookies might need more time baking in the oven.

I doubt his conditioning is up to where it needs to be to start a full nfl season.  They may work him in around game 6 or 7 if he shows he's a starter.

And I hope fans are aware of the rookie wall which we are going to slam into at some point this season especially with 17 games.

O-line takes a while to develop. Just because Deonte and BC don't see much time this year doesn't mean they aren't going to eventually get playtime. I'm a lot more interested in seeing Deonte play than BC just because he'd such a physically imposing player. 

Moton didn't play much his rookie year IIRC. I'm okay with slower development of O-line guys as long as the staff gets a chance to see what they really have before next year's draft. Didn't Norwell & Turner get slotted in fairly late in 2014 season and we went on a tear... Would be nice for a repeat scenario!!!

One thing to keep in mind as far as O-line activations is the question of backup Center with Elflein on IR.  It's been Tecklenburg the past 2 weeks. If we plan to have him as backup again he needs to be officially added to 53 since he's reached his limit of PS elevations.

Is there anyone else on our roster who can back up Paradis ?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
