Why Aren't Christensen & Brown Playing?

Fitt is not gonna get a pass if he cant fix this O line. Thing is..We have already had great defenses in the past, Great QB play, great running backs, D line, linebackers, etc. BUT we have ALWAYS had bad O lines that cost us any real success. If he is gonna be better than past GMs he NEEDS TO FIX THE O LINE. Plain and simple.

I e said before that I think the plan was to sign stopgaps this year and build the OL via the draft.

Still looks that way to me.

Well those stopgaps are going to get Sam killed. 

I think he'd be better off wearing a complete suit of armor whenever he takes the field at this rate.

Brown is a little different situation from BC but the revisionist history about why we drafted Christensen is getting annoying. One of our top needs was tackle. We were thrilled when we got him and we passed on other talent on the board. He should be working his way into the rotation soon that's all there is to it.

Sub package?

And I don't think there's ever been a player in the NFL who's played all 60 minutes, so?

Well, back in the old days there were some two-way players. That hasn't been true for decades though.

Still, you don't have to play a full 60 minutes to get tired. Ask our defenders.

For sure he couldn't be expected to play every snap on the OL, but the idea of subbing him in on a jumbo GL unit could work, couldn't it?  No pass pro or footwork to worry about there.  Just grunt n go.

Like I said, I'm not against it.

Just pointing out what the coaches might be thinking.

For some reason, coaches tend not to sub out offensive linemen.  And not just our coaches, but most coaches don't.   I have wondered why.  I suppose continuity is part of it, but it does seem that it might be a good idea to bring in fresh players at times.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
