Key to the offence: Brady Christensen

I watched Fitterer's interview the other day and he spoke a few times about Brady and how important his role will be. So, I've been thinking a lot about this, if he is ready to go and can take a starting spot (T/G) we actually could develop into a very dangerous o-line. 

Our line was so bad last year, we didnt have any chance in games. It really didnt matter who was throwing the ball we were getting blown up every play. 

It all starts at the line and we have not had a good one for years. Now, finally, it looks like we could make that a team strength. 

 

Im excited. The team is getting better. If a QB shows up for us we will make things messy in the NFC. 

LFG!!!

Listen....this isn't Great Britain, we use an "s" in "offence."

Some years back, I had to work July 4th. One of my colleagues who was also there took a call from a British guy.

After the guy hung up, my coworker complained.

"Man, why is this British guy calling in today? Doesn't he know it's July 4th?"

I gently said, "They don't really celebrate that in England. It's... actually kind of a sore spot." 😕

If Brady can actually hold down the LT spot allowing Icky to smash at LG, then that would be awesome.

I would be happy with both of them locking down a spot but it would make me cringe thinking about Icky being licked number 6 overall, 1st offensive player drafted, prototype LT going into LG. That seems like the ultimate Rhule move but I see no way it happens that way

I just gave you the D making you pull off what not many have accomplished. The 5-fecta of emoticons. Congrats my fellow Panther lover.

I am a BIG Christensen fan. I think he has potential to be a very good offensive lineman. He is extremely athletic and smart. Only thing screwing him up right now is Rhule trying to play him at every oline position and not starting him over freaking Michael Jordan and Cam Erving.....Stick him at one spot and he will thrive. Now, if that spot is guard (which it should be) now that we have Icky he will take a year probably and need to gain some weight, but his potential is very high to me.

I’ve spent the 4th of July in London a couple years ago…not a single firework. Sad. Probably had some this year though with their buffoon PM getting the boot.

He doesn't generate a lot of push because although he is a great athlete he is not very strong and his technique is still lacking.

He is definitely a project player.

Im not sure how a 26 year old player is considered a project.  I think at best he is going to be a good/great backup to have on your roster to play in a pinch.

Some linemen do have relatively long careers. If he develops he could have some time in the league as a high caliber player.

I don't see it happening but it is possible.

Age isn't really a part of the equation unless he's old enough to where he's physically limited.  Just because he's a few years older doesn't mean he's further along in his development than a 23-year-old second-year player.  It's about his experience and the level of coaching he has received, which are both on equal footing with NFL sophomores.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
