I think Christensen will probably be a starter from here on out

Let's be completely clear on the OL, there isn't likely to be a silver bullet combination that is going to make us suddenly competitive or elite. This is likely just a "least bad" venture.

Well Christenson got in and did alright, maybe when Brown is 'in shape' enough another spot could be upgraded but no silver bullet coming down the barrel for sure. I mean not unless a team flubs out and we are in playoff contention and there is a trade deadline trade or something.

I think the odds of a trade windfall are slim. Fitt seemed to indicate that.

I would rather not overpay for a guy when we still need 4-6 more guys to shore that line up.

Yea including depth its a bit off. They have been calling around so they clearly know the OL is dookey. Just need to run quicker options for the passing game until CMC comes back and when he does get back that part of the offense just jumps dramatically.

Honestly, there is so much chickenshit on this OL, I am not sure the best way to make chicken salad from it. I will leave that to the staff. I don't envy them in this endeavor.

This is pretty much how I see it as well unfortunately.  The line is just so bad that how to shuffle the terrible pieces into the least crappy version of an OL is not easy to see.   I'm not sure there is a one or two player shuffle or replacement thats gonna help and I'm real glad it's not my job to figure it out.

I would keep both the current tackles.

The interior? Move Erving and add Brown. Paradis is Paradis but we don't really have a better center.

 

This would be a much better choice than what we are seeing so far.  I fear even if we see that lineup it will take time for them to jel.  So basically the offense is fubar at the moment and possibly beyond.  

Another game like today and things are going to get interesting in BOA.

It is hard to scheme away that big of a weakness, unfortunately.

I'm not sure it should.

I've said about a hundred times that I view this season as a transitional season. I know the first few games heightened expectations but so far it's still about what I expected.

Unfortunately, there's so much crap in this forum right now it might be time to take a break.

TBH, I don't think there is a "much better" version of the OL waiting for us, no matter the moves we make.

I am with you on taking a break from this place. I've noticed a lot of the old regulars have disappeared as well.  I think I'm going to head north.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
