He moved Moton to LT one game last year, first that BC had to start I think, and he got 2 false start penalties and didn't look like his normal self. Back to RT the next week, lesson already learned on that one. 

Exactly, put BC at LT if not the rookie. Moving Moton is asinine.

Ickey at LG and BC at LT is probably better than the opposite. Ideally Cade or Deonte win the guard job, Ickey starts at LT and BC is a solid backup swing tackle

I can see both sides on this one and I wouldn’t mind it but let's be honest look at some of the horse crap Rhules played at LT instead of moving Moton.... he won't do it.

I could get it if we didn't draft the best run blocking LT this year. But we did and it makes no sense to take lumps at LT. Let's just hope it was more Brady with the poor personal choices on offense and Moton not playing LT being one of them.

The only thing wrong with your perspective,  is you don't make Sam, nor  rookie QB the focal point of a pass happy offense. That's how you continue to lose games, period.  The passing game can evolve. 

 

It’s not my perspective that’s wrong.  The team’s decision making at the QB position has been wrong. That’s how you continue losing games.

Play guys at their best positions.  Moton is best at RT, Ickey is best at LT and quite honestly better than Christensen.

Moton is a better LT at this point. You don't face pass rushers in NC State like you will in the NFL. Facing the slower man especially in run blocking is a smarter move. Unless you just want Rhule and this team to do poorly. Then that would work out quite well.

No he isn't.  If he were he would have stayed there last year.  I have no idea why people are soo intent on playing guys out of position and putting them in more difficult positions.  We drafted Ekwonu for a reason, play him there.

Me thinks you are maybe overvaluing the LT vs. the RT.  In todays NFL the "best" tackle isn't forced into the left side, used to be yes, when defenses typically put their very best pass rusher on the blindside.  That is over now.  Both sides have to be able to pass block and run block.

Moton is one of the best RT's in the league, we don't need a RT, we need a LT....and that needs to be Icky this year taking his lumps when we can't really expect to push for a playoff spot yet.

Because you don't understand how a offensive line works. It's not as plug and play as you see it. LT is the most difficult position to play in the NFL and starting a guy there who has faced ACC talent isn't a great idea if you want to win games. Especially when you have a elite RT that can play LT. Not only that but you need to protect the blindside of a QB especially when that QB is a rookie or sees ghosts. This is why Jordan Gross started out at RT his first year and it wasn't a "more difficult position" for him. It allowed him to progress and build NFL skills.

Me thinks you may be overvaluing a Rookie coming from the ACC. Some DEs do change positions but majority rush the LT. When you have a QB that sees ghosts and another that's a Rookie you need experience at LT. That way they don't get creamed on their blindside. I'm not sure if people have paid attention but that's exactly what happened last year. Not only that but as good of a play as Ikem Ekwonu is his struggles come in pass pro. Letting him be nasty on the right side year one would be a smart move while he learns the moves of a NFL DE.

You and I will not see eye to eye on this.  We need a left tackle, we drafted him to be that, RT's and LT's are no longer weighted like you are speaking of.  He will be fine, and we aren't going to be good either way.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
