Brady Christensen in at Left Tackle...

[davos]

I just don’t want 2 rookies on one side. Would prefer:

Brady-Daley-Paradis-Brown-Moton

but don’t think Elf and Miller have lost their spots (yet) so it’s:

Moton-Elf-Paradis-Miller-Brady C

but Daley has an in right now if Miller or Elf are benched. Then comes Brown after that.

I suspect he'll be starting sometime in October.

I watched Christensen tonight and this is what I saw:

• He was in good position nearly every play.
• His hands were usually in position. He was technically sound, and he can slide really well.
• He got bull rushed a bit.  He needs strength. 

[MHS831]

About Brown:  He was very active.  I liked what I saw, but he got confused a bit.  Now, that could be Tecklenburg as much as anything.

The player I thought sucked the most?  Paradis.

I need to watch it again, but I was tracing pressure back to A gap all night long.

[MHS831]

I HOPE that in next years' draft we are drafting for a C and LG.

 

Daley was decent, by the way.  Erving has some technique issues at LT.  Gonna get SD killed.

Paradis is hot garbage. Maybe instead of Elfein at G, try him at C. Have Brown and Miller/Daley as our Gs.

I like that idea.  Paradis lead the league in "help ups" last year.  Saying to his QB, "My man just pancaked you...Let me help you up."

I understand the rookie concern. But they are better than the vets right now.

The rookies are not playing until they learn all the protections.  The sad part is the current starters know them and they still can't protect worth a damn.

Playing a player at the position he played at in college... who wouldve thunk it???? 

You mean...it doesn't matter if he's left handed or right handed?!

Ironic that the Huddle has been obsessing about LT all preseason, when we had a complete dumpster fire tonight on the interior.  And will somebody please explain to Paradis that rollerblades are not game day approved equipment.

That's an interesting point. To be fair, my OP was to simply point out that BC was finally getting a shot to play on the left, something I don't think he's even done in camp.

But you're absolutely right, if you go back and watch those drives in the first half the pressure was usually coming from the interior. Often paradis, but elf and miller missed blocks too.

Makes me wonder if it was more of a scheme thing than anything else. The Steelers were doing a lot of stunts (although paradis did get flat out beat more than once).
