Short term I'd agree, this was always the case even pre draft, he has the tools though to be an elite LT eventually not sure why people are pooing this post.

Still think our best line for THIS YEAR (had to bold so I don’t get poo’d on) would be:

LT - Christensen

LG - Ekwonu

C - Bozeman

RG - Corbett

RT - Moton

Just imagine CMC running behind a pulling Ickey.

I agree with this 100% and BC is the only one who isn't also an absolute road grader....

Pretty sure John Ellis said Ekwonu hasn’t taken a single rep at guard in camp. Switch Christensen and Ekwonu and I’d agree with you.

I don’t think he has either but I think this year he’s built to have immediate success as a guard while he learns how to deal with edge rushers who have elite speed. Don’t think it will happen but that’s okay. As long as Elflein and Jordan aren’t trotted out as starters on day one I’ll be happy.

I read that someone said, "Well, he got beat one play, but all Tackles do" or something to that effect.  I agree, but maybe once or twice per game.  When you give up one bad play and you were only in the game for eight plays or so, that really is not the best defense.  I think he will be fine, but he will have growing pains.

To me, Sewell (Lions) was the best, most sure-fire OT to come out of college in a decade.  He struggled for a half season or more.  So we will see.

He is not ready to start at LT at this point.  Not sure how long it will take.  He is just not recognizing where to be and who to pick up at this point.  Many more reps needed and films to watch.

Sewell is now a RT, or at least that is where they played him in their preseason game

The day he was drafted it was stated by team media that he was expected to be the RT.

Sewell is expected to slot into the open right tackle spot, which should really solidify Detroit's offensive line for years to come. With Taylor Decker (left tackle), Jonah Jackson (left guard), Frank Ragnow (center), Halapoulivaati Vaitai (right guard) and Sewell likely at right tackle, Detroit's offensive line will be talented, young and arguably their top position group heading into the 2021 season.

I stand corrected.  All the talking heads stuff I listen to should be taken with a grain of salt.  Sewell taking over during Decker hand injury had many saying that he belongs on left side where he was drafted to be and why he was drafted so high.  But yeah, Decker seems much better suited for left side and with his contract, the LIons look to be good to go.  Actually, I am pulling for the Lions a bit.  Like their coach

      It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.

      Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?

      An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
