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.

Christensen, who Rhule sees as a guard because of his arm length, has played pretty well for a rookie being forced to learn multiple positions on the OL.

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.

      Vegas is unfortunately fine, the LTIR pool isnt reflected in that when Pietelgrinos LTIR will more than cover it

      1, Sanders absolutely is going to blow up, period end of story.  I would bet just about anything on that.     2. Wallace looked completely lost at times and his instincts didnt look fluid.  Could he break out, sure but I think he is more of a player that gets marginally better season after season not just turn into a full blown stud in year 2.  IE Shaq T   3.  Mayes is who he is, a grinder that seems to handle whatever position he plays with functionality.  He will probably never be elite and he probably will never out right suck.  Just more consistent and decent/solid play.   remember he was straight cut after last years training camp so something was going on between him and the staff

      I honestly do think we will land him, Ovi has maybe one more year, the caps are probably a board line wild card team. We have more money and weather or not he picks us we are a far better team than Washington.    If Elhers signs I think we should bump Jarvis to center. Elhers-Aho-Svechnikov Hall-Jarvis-Stankoven Carrier-Staal-Martinook  Robinson-Jankowski-Blake  Nadeu* (I think if he isnt used as a trade he will be displacing someone on the roster hes a top 6 talent)   Slavin-Chatfield Miller- Burns***? Nikishin-Walker   Although I think we over paid I've come around to the miller acquisition, if we can bring Burns back short term this us a lot of SIZE speed and Length in the D core, if there was anything painfully obvious about playing Florida it was that outside of Slavin/Nikishin/Burns the other 3 were getting out muscled and giving up the middle.    The roster above I believe can at a minimum take Florida 7 games.
