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.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
