Start Christensen and Deonte Brown Next Week. There is no other option.

[TylerDurden]

This OL, as-is, absolutely sucks and will single-handedly ruin the season.  Yes, the defense got gashed today, but the Cowboys are a good team and the game really came down to us not being able to move the ball or score on the last possession of the first half and the first possession of the second half, which was also when Quinn realized if he overloaded the box with pressure that we couldn't stop it.  Then it was a free-for-all.  Fix it, Rhule.  That game shouldn't have went down the way it did.  Don't let it happen again.

[Mr. Scot]

I can't argue with that.

[Floppin]

I wonder if Christensen can play center.

[jopie87]

It is the difference between being good and being a legit contender. Hopefully the answer is on the roster.

[ncstatekwi]

I agree brother!!!  No reason not to!

Elflein can but he's hurt.

[CPF4LIFE]

What reason do they have not to play them at this point with this schedule? All the people that were claiming "they gonna work them in eventually" well this the time to do it. No more bullshit.

[KillerKat]

The biggest change that needs to happen is Tecklenburg at center. Paradis' terrible play is leaving everyone on an island and guessing when they need to help him or guard their own man.

When he heals up we need to try him out because I find it hard to believe he can be worse than Paradis there

If you’re going to beat a good team you will need 35+ points. This isn’t an enigma, the NFL has made it this way.

The fact you still have the worst oline in the NFL while drafting talent with a third rounder just to sit him is baffling.

[The Lobo]

They should have been starting this week. 

[crowntownpanther]

Agreed. And find some solution to the kicking problem. Being in a situation where you have to punt if a kick is more than 40 yards is not a recipe for winning in the nfl.

No doubt, Paradis is disappointing and has been since we signed him, and likely is responsible for 1 sack a game from being bullrushed into Darnold.  That being said, I can live with his 1 sack allowed a game.  What we can't live with is Erving and Miller getting their ass whooped every play.  I saw Miller on the ground more today than I saw him block anyone and he had a penalty.  And Erving needed help every snap.  We sent two players to chip on the left side on one play...  that just isn't gonna cut it.  Hopefully BC and Brown make a line that is a greater unit than the sum of the parts.

I don't see Brown happening at this point. The staff doesn't even feel comfortable making him active. To go from inactive to starter in 1 week isn't realistic. You have to think the staff just doesn't think he's ready. Hell he could very well be our starter next year and hopefully a good one, but next week, not a chance. Even though Paradis has been a problem, I don't think Tecklenberg is the answer. That guy might not make any other 53 man roster. Seems like he was getting bullied by current practice squaders in the preseason.
