So we now have 2 credible NFL starting OL

We have an unproven 26-year old LG (hopefully) in Christensen.

A marginal C (Elflein) who might play better between 2 solid Guards.

So maybe, just maybe--a LT or LG is all we need.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Brady is a tackle. I don’t give a poo about arm length and Rhule shouldn’t either

Yeah, he should've been the starter at day one at LG, then kicked out to tackle the second Irving got injured the first time. I was hoping that was the plan originally and I think a lot of people were hoping that was how they'd work him into the lineup.

Elflein is horrible at center. If he is there, everything falls apart.

Hoping they are going with...

BC(LT)-Elflein(LG)-Linderbaum(C)-Corbett(RG)-Moton(RT)

Elflein is still a liability at guard, but the OL can win with him at guard or draft one of many guards who will be an improvement. Keeping Elflein and then signing Corbett is extremely confusing. Why put a good guard next to a weak center?

It's the other way round I'm afraid.

You can win with him at C. He's horrible at G - he's just too small.

I honestly think if he were an inch taller and 15lbs heavier the dude would be a good player all around.

Size isn't going to make him better. Skill, technique and drive will.

That's your inner Matt Rhule talking with the 1 inch and 15 lbs stuff.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
