Ask the Old Guy - on Bozeman/Elflein

[CRA]

Gantt dipped his toe in PFF ratings for 1 game.

Yet PFF ranked Bozeman as the 14th best C last year. 

also, Elffien's PFF grade Sunday was below Bozeman's overall grade on the year last season at C.  So it's not like Elflien wow'd.

This is on Bozeman if he can't definitively beat Elflein

They never really gave him a shot. He got hurt and they just kept rolling with Elflein per the article. If the bad snaps and poor performance continues they have to put him in.

Yeah totally believable from the crew that played Erving and Daley over BC last year. SSDY.

Whatever, if Elf helps Rhule get fired then he did more than I could ever expect out of a player of Elf's quality.

It's clear we will never have a quality offensive line under Matt Rhule. It's Ron Rivera all over again just playing favorites.

It depends how you much value you put in PFF.

I don't.

I know some others do but not me.

...we have soooo many holes it seems on this roster...could someone else get better production...i think so.... our only hope is dr tepper shaves off some of that bone on his forehead to allow some blood to get to the frontal lobe where reasoning and cognitive functions occur....

In a vacuum maybe.  

but we watched both them start last year.  One is a better player than the other.  

and now both reside on a team that has displayed very questionable roster management.   OL being one of those spots.

Corbett came in and started immediately. I don't think Campen hates Bozeman. Maybe he has lost a step

Look at it on the bright side:

as long as elflein is playing at center, it is impossible for him to play at guard

Matt Rhule is going to continue playing a bad player for "reasons".

We've seen this time and time again. It was blatantly obvious Rhule was desperately trying to find a starting spot for him on the OL in camp and then the Bozeman injury gave him his excuse.

I have no idea what he sees in Elflein that everyone else is missing, but opposing defenses sure do appreciate it.

 

Lol kind of like R. Rivera with Siona Fua oh the misery

I assume Gantt has a decent feel on the in house narrative. 

sounds like Elflein is going to be the starting C for the time being.
