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 Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
