So, basically Brady Christensen has all the physical tools to be a starting LT, but no one probably worked with him on hip position, shoulder height, and footwork. That falls on the Offensive Coordinator not providing individual time and the O line coach for not coaching worth a poo.

Hope we have a chance to correct that since Campen has history with McAdoo and the coaching staff in Houston is unsettled. 🤞

Maybe. Houston seems to be trying to keep most of the staff together. It will be interesting what the new coach says about that (could lead to an internal hire). Who knows?

Which no doubt helps to explain their dismissals. Good riddance - especially Pat Meyer.

Yeah, and they specifically mentioned Campen as somebody they want to stick around.

This.  When you use him at LG, dabble at C, RG, RT, and then LT during his rookie season....

I think if you tell him that he will be a LT (I do not see him as a guard, frankly, because he is more of a finesse player) during the offseason and you work with him starting now---he will improve.

Brady is borderline starting LT now--with some work, he can be an average LT in 2022.  How the new OL coach and OC see this might determine who we draft.

You might be right except for the reality that when he played he was clearly our best LT option and Rhule and company still made every effort not to continue playing him at LT despite this.

i agree but its possible they were playing him certain games with certain matchups for the reasons i mentioned

WHAT WE LEARNED:

Despite what Rhule initially thought, Christensen can play left tackle in the NFL. And even though Rhule earned criticism for occupying “arms-too-short island,’‘ he may have been right about what is best for Christensen’s future. It’s unlikely he develops into a Pro Bowl-caliber tackle.

Combine that with the Panthers’ chances of drafting a blue-chip tackle and it’s clear deploying Christensen at guard best maximizes Carolina’s resources.

Playing Christensen beside Moton creates a stonewall right side. Pairing him with Neal or Ekwonu would do the same on the left. Credit Christensen for quickly becoming a reliable starter under questionable circumstances. His growth speaks volumes about his potential next season.

Playing Madden franchise mode this makes all the sense in the world. In reality, this is about as tough of a position change as imaginable. You're not only asking Christensen to transition from playing outside at OT to inside at OG, you're also asking him to transition from playing on the left side of the OL to playing on the right. That's nowhere near the slam dunk that this article pretends it to be.

Unfortunatly nothing about BC's play could be considered stonewalling or even suggesting it's possible. I wish it was that simple.

We took a 25 year old LT that was bottom of last years options and played him out of position most of the year. I agree and still think that he didn't play well enough to pass up a LT stud even if that leaves BC as a backup at LT or another poor OG option. If BC does make it at OG, I certainly don't see him on the right side.

No, Rhule wasn't right. BC played by far his best at LT but even that was still not good enough to not be looking at LTs hard again. His arm length was fine at LT, it was his lack of stength and ability to use it that looked to be his biggest issue. At 26 how much room does he have to grow? IDK but I wouldn't bet on it.

      F’ing David Newton

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Not only was the XL exchange just absolutely horrid, but this????  Forgive me, as I know it’s not PC, but is Newton legitimately retarded?  What a fuging idiot!!!  You want Evero to tell you he sprinkled some magic fairy dust on him, just for last week, to give him some super pass rushing powers?  Or may be shoved a fuging infinity stone up his ass?  Maybe held his family ransom?  Just shut the absolute fug up, you fuging idiot.  And to not ask once.  Not twice.  But three fuging times, trying to force Evero into a different answer.  I really wish someone would punch him in his fuging mouth.     and there was absolutely no excuse for the question to XL.  You could see his eyes start to get red and glassy.  Newton is a fuging tool.  You have one job you fuging idiot, and whether you don’t remember or you just don’t know, then maybe you need to find a new line of work.  fuging weirdo.

      Yep, that's all them Bryce fans can do, trying to remind everybody of his bygone glory days in college. Who gives poo? What's he done for the Panthers lately? I can't wait for these Bama fans to leave the forum once we get rid of their favorite midget. They are almost annoying as The Golden Calf of Bristol fans.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      I'm too old to answer most of those questions, but I've lived in Winston off and on for the last 5 years and I enjoy it. Easy to live close to the city and still feel like your not in a city or vise versa.
