Moton-Daley-Tecklenburg-Miller-Christensen would be the best option assuming Tecklenburg is better than Paradis. An improvement there helps the guards out tremendously and doesn't start a chain reaction that reaches to the tackles making up for Paradis' mistakes.

You really don’t think Rhule will do this do you?

he strikes me as a little Riveraesque were this is concerned

This OL, as-is, absolutely sucks and will single-handedly ruin the season.  Yes, the defense got gashed today, but the Cowboys are a good team and the game really came down to us not being able to move the ball or score on the last possession of the first half and the first possession of the second half, which was also when Quinn realized if he overloaded the box with pressure that we couldn't stop it.  Then it was a free-for-all.  Fix it, Rhule.  That game shouldn't have went down the way it did.  Don't let it happen again.

I don’t disagree. I would move Moton to the left and start these two. Couldn’t hurt.

Think Sam was hit 10 times today. Sacked 4

Starting Brown wouldn't do anything until you change center. It's hard to tell were the guards stand as they keep having to make up for Paradis.

Not trying to be pessimistic but I don’t think Tecklenburg would be an upgrade over Paradis and Elflein is on IR

As bad as the interior of our offensive line has been, you can't just assume that Christensen and Brown are better or more capable.  They have potential and we all hope they can be.  But for all we know, they are guys that shouldn't be in the league. The coaches--who yes, could be wrong in their evaluation--don't think they give us a better chance to win than the current group they are trotting out.  And they both see how all the players in question perform in practice and know a hell of a lot more about football than all of us.

Someone reminded me Erving has played center before. Might actually be our best option atm. Moton-Daley-Erving-Miller-Christensen to start out in practice and if that helps out the guards, then good. If one of the guards shows to still be weak after the change, then replace either one with Brown.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
