Looks like Brady is starting at RG, wouldn’t it make more sense to start him at LG (and I know, nothing about this makes sense). I was thinking at least keep him on the left side. For those of you who understand O-Line, wouldn’t it be easier for him to transition to LG, instead of RG, from LT, or does it not matter?

I've read numerous OL guys say the transition from R to L (or vice versa) is actually much more difficult that it would initially appear.

If you've played on one side on the line for many years, when you get switched every instinct you have is completely wrong.  Those decisions you have to make in just fractions of a second take a little longer since you're translating what you're doing for your body.   Maybe if you've been playing for many years it's not so bad but much more difficult for rookies or other young players.

That's why playing Christensen at RG is incredibly stupid.  Rhule is using him like he's a 10 year pro, not a rookie still trying to learn the game (which he is).  Rhule is actually hurting Christensen's development by moving him to so many positions.  Just put him at one hecking spot and leave him there in his rookie year !!!  How hecking much of an idiot do you have to be not to understand that ??

That’s what I was thinking as well, I appreciate the insight. I also like the idea of his athleticism at LG and pair him with an athletic LT in the draft. I’d rather put a mauling guard next to Moton.

The Panthers OL is currently tailor made to have super athletic Brady Christensen at LG and huge mauler Deonte Brown at RG.    

Rhule, do the obvious thing and put them there !!!!

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By strato · Posted

      That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
