It's rather funny how the opinion of arm length has done a 180 degree flip since Brady was drafted. 

At first it was outrage of drafting a short armed tackle. 

Now it's outrage over arm length no mattering.

This place has the collective memory of a goldfish bowl.

Luke kuechly knew he didn't want to waste his time associated with the clown rhule so that's why he walked away this year

This clown will prevent us from going anywhere past the wild card, at BEST. We wont win anything as long as he is the head coach. doesn't matter who the QB is. 

Wild card? Pfft. We'd be lucky to ever challenge for that spot.

Five wins a year before the current iteration of the team quits on him is what we're getting. Can't keep turning over the roster until he finds some folks that will hang with him for six. Besides, we're running out of Temple alumni.

*DISCLAIMER* - I am very much in favor of finding out of BC is a NFL tackle.  I have been all along.  However . . .

Gross and Slater had the exact same measurables at the combine.

Except they didn't.

 

Brady:

 

If you believe arm length is that important, that's fine.  However, here's the guy they favor over BC at LT:

Dennis Daley

 

The guy they have at LT is slower, not as quick, not as strong, not as explosive as BC is.  I just can't make heads or tails of it.  Daley's longer arms are irrelevant if he can't stay in front of his man - which he can't.  I can't fathom why we don't just give him a chance.

If BC comes in, plays LT and lays an egg, fine.  The staff can then go "See?  This is why we don't play him there."  On the other hand, BC sports the best grade at LT we've seen all season in the limited time he's played there.

Isn't that at least worth a long look?

I'm so very done with Matt Rhule. He is absolutely horrible.

Christensen has the same size arms as Jordan Gross.

This is what you get when you hire a small college HC that has done very little.

Zion Williamson is super athletic and 6'6" and by the looks of things has eaten himself into being heavy enough to play LT.

6'6" 330?

Wait a minute, if Rhule said his arms are too short to play Tackle, doesn't that really mean his arms are indeed the perfect length to play tackle?

This the dark side of an analytics obsessed staff. Slater was/is everything you want in a tackle in terms of execution but his measurements didn’t hit the magic number for our data crunchers in the front office to take notice.
