Yup, he's a stud.  He's only been playing LT for two seasons.  Traditionally he's been a G. He's given up a few sacks, but he talent is undeniable. I think he'll slip as a tackle unless someone drafts him as a G.  I hope so, because his arrow is only pointing up and with more coaching and more reps at LT, I think he's going to be a franchise LT.

I didn’t realize he was a potential LT, thought he was a stud guard. Interesting.

I don't have PFF to see how he's grading out and his stats for this season thus far.  As a team, State is giving up just under 2 sacks a games, but I can't find a source (for free) where I can get the breakdown of that info by player.  My most liked scouting/daft site has him as the #2 LG prospect and ranked in the mid-twenties range right now.  Hopefully, about where we should realistically be picking in the draft.  Maybe Christensen will be the real deal at LT and we can draft this dude to solidify Darnold's blindside for years to come.

Hopefully the franchise LT of his hometown team

I think he is a g. He is average as a T, but most experts see him as a G--so we shall see.  Either way, we have multiple needs and if we took him, I would start him off at LT.

Do you have access to PFF to see his blocking grades so far this season?  Most college team sites don't give out the "highlights" in a player's bio until the season is over.  I know it's PFF, but it's still some sort of metrics to see how he's playing this season.

Tackle: Ikem Ekwonu, NC State

The Wolfpack's left tackle hasn't allowed a sack in 371 snaps through five games. Even more impressive, he has zero blown blocks on 152 run-play snaps and just three blown blocks all season. A two-time ACC offensive lineman of the week this season, Ekwonu had a career-high 11 pancake blocks against Louisiana Tech and eight more against Clemso

That's what I'm talking about!  I hope scouts still will view him as a 'tweener G/T.  It may cause him to drop some so we can draft him.

His future is probably an elite OG that can slide to OT. I think most scouts see him as an OG and not an OT. 

I would love to have him in Charlotte. Really, really nasty disposition. Something we haven't seen since Norwell.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      By frankw · Posted

      Even all the rookie QB's who haven't played a single snap ranked above him? I really hope Bryce is using all this as motivation in some capacity. Because if this doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.

      QuickBooks Requires That You Reboot Loop: How to Fix the Issue

      By IKra · Posted

      Many users see a message stating that QuickBooks +1-844-476-5438 requires a system reboot to complete its installation. This typically happens when a new QuickBooks update has been installed. However, even after rebooting, the update doesn't always complete, and the reboot notification continues to loop incessantly. What is "QuickBooks Requires to Reboot to Complete Installation" error can be identified as follows: Initially, you download the installer from QuickBooks  +1-844-476-5438 and launch it with administrative rights. You proceed with the VC9 installation. An error message is quickly followed by a system reboot request. You click on the 'Yes' option. However, this only leads to the same error message reappearing, followed by a regular reboot. The installer starts on its own, and the cycle repeats endlessly. If you choose 'No' when the reboot prompt appears and then manually restart, your computer system states that the installation was interrupted unexpectedly. You must redo the process from the beginning. This error can be triggered by a variety of factors, including: A Corrupted or Damaged Hard Drive: If your hard drive is damaged or corrupted, it may affect the functioning of installed programs, including QuickBooks. An Impaired or Missing QBWUSER.INI File: This crucial QuickBooks  +1-844-476-5438 file can lead to installation errors if damaged or absent. An Excessively Long Company Name: QuickBooks might not function properly if the company name entered in the software is too lengthy. Incorrect QuickBooks Desktop Installation: During installation, errors can cause ongoing issues, such as constant reboot requests. There is a problem with this Windows installer package Outdated Operating System: If your operating system is old and no longer supported, it may cause issues with running updated software versions like QuickBooks. Resolving the "QuickBooks Requires Reboot to Complete Installation" error may seem challenging, but it can be addressed by following these steps:

      Of course. That’s what I said. Bad goalie play and the style of defense. Florida played amazing.  Rods decision to stick with a struggling Freddie cost us. Plus, Florida may be more talented than us and they play a very heavy game. Something we don’t do well minus Svech.  Glad the rangers lost.
