So the guy that is best regarded for playing right tackle is playing left tackle and the guy that is best regarded for playing left tackle is playing right tackle?

Must be Opposites Day.

Christensen is best regarded for playing LT? I know that was his position in college but pretty sure most would agree he's better suited at RT or guard in the NFL.

I agree on RT…but guard…meh. Maybe if his short arms are an issue but he’s athletic. Corse all we really have is college film vs poo teams to go by. But BYU oline program is top of the line.

Well this is about what I expected. He’s showing some flashes, but overall not playing great. Which is fine, he’s a rookie playing the opposite side from college. The coaches aren’t stupid not playing him all season, he just isn’t ready yet. Good news is the game time should get him ready faster than practice… as long as it doesn’t cost us a Sam injury.

Christensen just isn't physically strong enough. He needs to live in the weight room this off-season. He's gotta get stronger if he's going to make an impact on the field.

Sweat is just pushing him back every play.  No fancy moves just over powering him.   I doubt he is going to get stronger the dude is pushing 30

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
