Why Aren't Christensen & Brown Playing?

Because Rhule is Fox, and Rivera 2.0

They graded Christensen as a first round guard. 

 

You mean to tell me a first round guard is not better than the talentless players out there currently?

Yep…that was my thought..my other thought was, we need tackles…why did you pass on them….

I get kind of confused about the Brown "conditioning" excuse because..... didn't he play college football each week and 30 pounds heavier at that?  Not only that, he played at Alabama.  I really don't think a program like Alabama would have someone that couldn't play. 

Brady is also older than most draft picks so waiting so long to see what he does in an NFL game makes a bit less sense than a normal draft pick.  We need to see what we got, especially when there are issues happening.

It's hard to trust coaches when we dealt with Rivera keeping people like Norwell on the bench and others because of "they are vets" type nonsense.

I was really hoping both would be first year contributors and come into their own this season as rookies but keeping hope alive that they both turn out to be solid for us. That line sure could use some good help.

He sticks to useless vets just like they did.

He also punts from the 33 like fox.

Burns TOs like Ron

Makes inexplicable decisions like a 54 yd fg when pinning them deep was the obvious decision. 

 

So tell which of these statements are incorrect

You're not facing Aaron Donald and Vita Vea week in and week out in college.

They also play less games in college.

Possible but I hope not.

It took a few weeks to move on from Greg Little, but they did.

I wonder if Little was still on the team, would the Huddle be screaming for him to start?

Our entire O-Line besides Moton is worthless and could not start on any team. You simply cannot do worse by trying to replace them. 

And if our rookies and back up can't beat our current starters, that says a lot about them.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not.

Seems like conditioning and learning the position for Brown.

Christensen I believe we'll see more of and hopefully Erving won't step on his foot.  I think it is evident the Panthers see him as a guard and probably at LG.  Again, he's probably learning the position as a pro and his assignments...interior rookie linemen have to make sure they know the playbook and any protection audibles the QB calls.  The tackles need to as well, but it's a little bit easier as much of the time they are taking care of the DE or blitz coming from a CB if it's a stunt or the DE drops back in coverage.
