If he's serviceable we can roll protections his way. I have to wonder if Christensen was further along if they would've rolled with Moton at LT and Christensen at RT.

Still could down the road.

Mind you, those are the kinds of decisions I'd really rather get made before the season starts.

Tends to get knocked back pretty far on initial contact. Tends to hold on too long to where it's very noticeable. Saw at least two hands to the face.

He was getting bull rushed by linebackers at the BYU level, not promising as a 24 year old rookie.  Also has some horrible BYU film falling forward on run plays. The only reach in the draft IMO

Tell me more about Christensen. What type of "very raw" are we talking about here? Like this guy needs work on technique and adjusting to the NFL, but shows the physical talent type "very raw" or the why the fug did Hurney draft this guy in the 2nd round type "very raw"?

I usually rely on you experts for comments but I believe he needs to get up to speed with the NFL and improve his techniques.  I don't think he is going to be Little 2.0.  All I've heard about Christensen was how athletic he is.  If that remains the same.  He'll adjust and improve. 

My $.02

Was he? I’m no expert, but the clips I watched, he completely dominated in pass coverage. But, like you said, his run blocking needs a lot of work.

Not sure Deonte makes the team at this point.  Yea, he's big and physical, but historically we've asked our guards to be able to move.  Not sure last year really gave us the best read on our offense, but I can't see Deonte being able to do the sorts of things Norwell did as far as movement goes.

He looks like he'd be a great fit in a power run scheme, just not sure he's mobile enough for Joe Brady.  Maybe we keep him around for first and goal from the 2.  Hard to argue that our red zone offense was worth a dime last year.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
