the best O-line we have had in years.

That's not saying as much as you think considering how bad the line has been.

Christensen should remain a starter whether right or left side

Let them compete. If the rookie is the better player, he should start. Same if Christensen is the better player.

JMO but BC is better suited at T than at G. He did an adequate job at LG but I think his playing there was more about Rhule saving face after the ridiculous “arms length” discussions. I’m not saying Zavala or anyone else should be immediately inserted at LG but it’s all about putting players in the best position to help the team as opposed to the “square peg, round hole” way we typically do things here.

Don’t count out Cade Mays - dude showed a lot of good things last year.  I wouldn’t be shocked if he wins that LG job outright.

Absolutely not! Mays is a baller - we’re fortunate to get two potential starting calibers G the past two drafts. The future of the OL is bright!

I’m also curious to see if Deonte Brown had a further here. He had a decent college career and actually played okay his rookie year. I really think Rhule’s micromanaging adversely affected the development of some of these young OL, which is sad considering that was supposed to be his area of expertise. Very excited for tots direction if this team under Reich and this staff.

Love this pick!   We needed IOL depth/fringe starter and that's what we got.  Is it weird I'm more excited with the day 3 picks than the day 2 picks?

Day 3 was better then day 2 it’s not just you who feels that way.

Reading tea leaves here:  After watching the call to Zavala video, based on the comments of several people (Tepper, Reich, etc) in the war room (about playing beside Icky again), I cannot help but think the hope/plan is to start him at LG.  Of course there will be a competition, but the absence of T depth is noticeable, and Christensen was the "weak link" on the OL last year.  His superior athleticism is sorta wasted at LG.  He had a 56 PFF score (from memory) which is not good or elite--it is around average or slightly below it.  I think BC helps this team more by playing #2 LG and swing OT--and it seems like that is the plan, despite what they said about the USFL etc.

If the guys coming off our bench are average, we are in a great place.  🙂

Does make me wonder though, if NCSU's oline was this good a couple of years ago, why was their run game one of the worst in the ACC?

Tim Beck, OC. 

Second the fewest rushing attempts in the conference. Not a sound approach when you have a good defense and offensive line

I like the pick and with Corbett not likely to be ready for week 1, think he could start for us to open the year.

But weird clip to use for a tweet that is meant to compliment him, that is a clear and blatant hold lol

He's inside the shoulders and the rusher didn't beat him.  Holding normally gets called when the hands are outside and the lineman is beat.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
