Cliff notes

I didn’t watch the whole thing, but when talking about the line and arm length, he said it doesn’t matter that much if you have compensating factors like quickness, etc.  He mentioned the proper technique of keeping your arms/hands in front of you, which Brady does well.  Said he played well and had a tough season because he had to learn so many different positions, but he did it as a rookie and was impressed.  Sounded like he wants to keep him at LT.  
 

He also mentioned Deonte Brown and how you could see the power he brings, as well as quickness even with his size when he was in last night.  Saw him push his man around and get upfield.  He thinks Brown and BC will be good building blocks.  
 

HOWEVER, they should’ve gotten a shitload more playing time to see what we’ve got in these guys.  Now we have 3 games of BC at LT to figure out if we should draft one.  he didn’t say this but it’s clear it should’ve gone down that way.

Nah come on - be a man of your word

I am. I said I was done watching as long as Rhule is the Panthers coach. I didn't watch the last three games. Hell, why would anyone? Continuing to cheer on an incompetent organization doesn't make you a "good fan". It makes you a sucker. If Tepper cared enough and/or was competent enough, he's get rid of Rhule. He either doesn't care or he's incompetent. I hope he learns. Until he does, I'm not watching.

“Was it a mistake to picks up Sam darnolds 5th year option before he played a down for you”

”well you look at it as 22 million over two years and….”

lol the logic hoops these guys will jump through to justify their poor decisions

If Christensen is the LT, then #6 has to be QB or trade down IMO.

If he’s LT I definitely want to trade down.  I’m not very high on any of these QBs, but I have a nauseating feeling it’s going to be Pickett

He signed on to be Rhule's yes man. I have no idea why people want that kind of GM to be turned lose like Rhule was. It's really desperate when we could do a lot better.

We went from interviewing Berry to the guy who is qualified to get him coffee and we are supposed to be happy with that? The only guy we interviewed with Rhule that was promising turned down the job and went back to the 49ers. He is a Rhule quality GM, that should be enough to not want him around. He constantly did a poor job but it's all on Rhule. I call BS 

I don't want the Gettlmen type GM either... I want the coach to be able person when it come to talent evaluation.. Rhule just sucked at it.. 

But Parcell says why cook the meal if you can't pick the groceries..

Based on what we've seen out of Rhule's ability to evaluate NFL QBs, ask him who he wants and then

I said the same thing recently in another thread. Having good feet, balance, and technique are more important for a Tackle. I even used Slater and Joe Thomas as examples

BC needs to work on his lower body over the offseason and anchor better vs. bull rushers.  However, finesse rushers are not that successful against him.

[WOW!!]

I'm reassured Atleast that both are very vocal and focused on OLINE, OLINE, OLINE!!

It's a helluva lot easier to gain strength to deal with power than gain quickness to deal with speed.
