Great article about Christensen, author throws shade all over Rhule’s face about arm length

Our OL situation becomes a MUCH easier fix if we have the long-term solutions in place at both OT spots. Serviceable IOL are much easier to find. Well, they are unless Matt Rhule or Marty Hurney are the ones shopping. My concern is Scott Fitterer may need to be on that list too. Seattle's OL is as bad as ours.

not sure how many times he said "who Rhule sees as a guard because of his arm length, but it felt like it was every other sentence. 

I felt like it was done for the purpose of memeing, so I had to continue the tradition.

One thing I really did not take into consideration was how little the offensive line matters in the Big 12. I remember now reading tons of articles about how top flight o line recruits will stay away from the conference because no one gets drafted out of there. Since they all run some air raid variation, all they need is their offensive lineman to be able to get up quickly and move to the next play. Blocking wise you just need to slow the defender down a little bit.

In the NFL....not so much.

SMH, man people are ready to crown him @MHS831 . He’s been OK but not being able to pick up blitzes after his guy stunts is a big problem. It cost us 1/3 of the points NO scored because a free run at the QB that should have been picked up is the most likely to cause a fumble.

Maybe he can get better but that’s why tackles are so important, especially on the blind side. If a rusher comes up the middle it’s bad but the QB can see it and at least react. The tackles screwing up is what typically creates the fumbles.

It’s funny that the article keeps mentioning being seen as a guard even though he’s right now playing LT for us. Seems like he’s getting an opportunity. I just hope we don’t pass on a much more talented LT on the hope that next time he’ll actually react quicker to the blitz since he didn’t even get his 🦖 arms out to impede the blitzer. As said above, solid IOL help is available day 2 of every draft. Remember our buddy Hurney didn’t draft a single IOL from 2018 to 2020 after letting Norwell walk, trading Turner and watching Ryan retire. That’s the reason why our interior is a steaming pile of poo.

He's a rookie who has gotten minimal playing time and yet has still been by far and away our lost effective LT. It's 100% on Rhule. It's 100% on Rhule why we haven't seen Deonte Brown despite everyone we've trotted out at RG getting treated like a doormat.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
