Lol just a few days ago you were saying how much the eagles and all the teams on the panthers schedule were crap

As an overall team they are (especially when it comes to coaching) but they do have a good defensive line and we now have some key injuries.

Mind you, I'm still picking us to win, but the path is a little harder than it was before.

BC has had an entire offseason and 5 weeks added to the years he played LT at school. We can scheme, we can give him help but it's time to see what he has. At worst we have Scott out there being a backup if he fails.

Maybe don't count on injury prone players? IDK, seems kind of obvious if you have that kind of information, which absolutely was out there when we signed the 2 big oline free agent duds.

I mean we're talking about a third round pick from a lesser college program starting his first pro game just five weeks into his rookie season at a position he's really only spent a few days practicing full time.

If he has an average game by pro standards, I'll be thrilled out of my mind.

Did we see him play some snaps at LT in preseason?

You really need to stop saying things like this people want to win. Come down off the cross already.

 

For someone who spent all summer telling folks to play nice. This is a pretty disrespectful post. 

 

C'mon Dr. Phil. You need to be better than this.

Aren't they both speculating?

I saw the press conference, Rhule didn't name a starter.

I watched Rhule’s presser as well.  And agree he didn’t mention this.

BUT.   The way those 2 separate beat writers worded this,  it didn’t sound speculative.  It sounded sure.

 

IS set to.

Set to.

 

there is no May etc in their wording.  Maybe they know something that we don’t.  They have their sources.  And maybe they know/heard something that Rhule hasn’t announced.

I don't recall any but LT is the only position he played for 3 years at BYU. He looked alright at RT in the preseason, but apparently has been taking reps at LT this whole week. Either way he's a 25 yr old rookie with a full offseason and 4 weeks of in season practice so he either has what it takes or he's a career backup

I'd be lying if I'm not fearing a 2014 Eagles fiasco which is in the running for all-time worst O-line performances I've ever seen. 

We were down our LG the last 2 weeks, and gave up 8 sacks.  This week we are down our starting LT and LG. 

It sounds like at least one rookie is playing. 

Hopefully he'll rise to the occasion.

Christensen has played 23 snaps in four games, 19 on special teams and 4 at T.

Newtons a moron I think he's referring to Brady taking a few LG snaps in the Saints game. Unless we had multiple T's on a couple plays

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
