Brady Christensen has seen spot duty in a bunch of games this year at Guard and has started at RT and LT at least once I think. His play at guard hasn't been very good and he struggled at RT early in the year. He also struggled a little at LT when he replaced Daley vs Arizona. The Next week he started at LT versus Washington and probably had his best game of the year (arguably the best performance at LT from a Panther this season). He has only had 2 penalties this year. Daley averages 2 a game.

He isn't as long and strong as we like at LT but he stays in front of guys and plays with good technique. At G he seems a little light in the A$$ to me (Round 2 G, Round 3 T?). We have all heard about his short arms, but who cares if he's keeping guys off the QB.

I really hope he gets a shot at LT these last 4 games. If he isn't a starter he's a better backup than Daley probably. 

Who else would like to see  Brady get an extended look at LT? Are their other young guys that you'd like to see play more these last 4 games? Who and What chance do you think they have have becoming important contributers in the future?

It doesn’t matter what we want. Rhule is determined to make Brady a guard.

He does, but Michael Jordan seems to be one of his favorites now. I'm hoping that Jordan's (rise?) will help convince the coaches to Give Brady a shot at Tackle, especially since Miller will be back in the lineup at RG.

Christensen needs to be at LT and Brown needs to be at RG. Let's see what we have (or don't have) in these guys moving forward.

I agree 100%. Brown should definitely see more snaps. Id also like to see Mike Horton and a few others off the Practice Squad. Horton's been around awhile now and never gets to the active roster or into any games. If you are developing a guys should he be "developed" enough at some point to see some action?

It's so bad that I really can't hope to see something that makes this much sense in regards to the Oline. Other than injury, all signs point to more of the same awfulness. We have so many guys playing poorly and out of position that it is just a circus at this point.

When Rhule came out and started talking about arm lengths I lost any possible chance at hope that they would give it a 'Geez, everything else is a giant failure. Why not?' but nope. None of that. Send in the clowns.

It's a lost season.  At least play the rookies to see if they can be part of the future.   

Terrance Marshall, Shi Smith, Tremble, Christensen, Brown all should be starting or at least playing major minutes. 

 

That's what smart NFL coaches do when they whiff on the playoffs and are headed into the offseason. We will not be doing that.

It's crazy we've been saying this for what feels like years now instead of weeks. This regime is exhausting.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
