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. 

Too small?

Do you know how big Corbett is?

Panthers won with him at guard. Panthers got destroyed with him at center. He is an unathletic waist bender who gets bull rushed into the QB at center.

Yeah he was our best center last year which is an incredibly low bar. I think we roll with him there one more year and replace the center position next year.

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

While your argument is compelling, if we find a better LT in free agency (and I doubt it) BC becomes the LG.  That is what I meant when I said, "Brady is a LG--hopefully" It means we have upgraded 2 positions.

Ideally we would upgrade that spot and Brady would be the first tackle off the bench. I don’t believe he will ever make guard. He does not possess the lower body to handle 315 DTs every snap.

His problem at guard last year was getting sit down. At tackle, mental errors and lunging, feel much better about fixing those.

FWIW, I wanted him at LT all season--too good an athlete.  However, they seem determined to make him a LG--and I think, if we move the pocket and pull him in the run game, he could be decent there--with experience.  The fact that he played no real position in 2021 is an outrage.  We saw him vs. 2 teams at LT play well--and there are so many different kinds of DEs/OLBs in the NFL, it takes several games to get a good feel.  If I were playing vs. BC, I would get a 280 lb DE and bull rush him.  Not sure he saw that in the last few games.

I don't think you watched the same games as the rest of us. Elflein was constantly bullied at guard. He actually looked serviceable at center.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
