Why Aren't Christensen & Brown Playing?

This is a legit inquiry for those with thoughts on the matter, I recall Brady getting some snaps a game or two ago as the 6th O-Lineman on a run and Deonte has been inactive for 4 games. 

The left side of the OL has regressed each week it ''feels'' like, and as ''meh'' as Elflein was playing could Daley actually be worse?

I know they said Brady and the shorter arms, but he played LT over RT in college, and is the most athletic O-Lineman on the roster I think we need to see him, he can't be worse than Erving or could he 🤷‍♂️

Deonte per the team has lost roughly 30 pounds, and is in the 330's per a Rhule presser a few weeks back, I'm just tired of seeing our interior OL knocked off the spot and back into the pocket as our interior at is fairly light (low 300s on Elf and Dice). I'd like to see what this young man can do, and hopefully we don't wait as long as we did for Whitehead to be benched. 

I have no idea if these young men are ready, but I think we could use a spark, I understand wanting to and why you'd field a veteran OL with a younger QB, but PHI DL is stout as well, anchored by Cox, if the veterans can't get it done, we might need to see what the young guys can do. 

Options (Left to Right)

 

  • Moton / Brown / Paradis / Miller / Christensen
  • Christensen / Brown / Paradis / Miller / Moton

Clearly the staff don't believe they are ready.

I said in another thread, I would like to see BC getting more than just five ST snaps.  Give him a series or two.  We saw him, and I understand why he isn't in there.  Still, there is only so much he can grow sitting on the bench.  I'm not saying he should start, but he should get a bit more opportunity.

With Deonte, I would feel better if he were getting on the bench.  But I do understand why he isn't.  At best, he may get those ST snaps.  His lack of positional flexibility is a problem when he isn't starting.  And starting him doesn't seem like it's in the cards.

You and I only see what's on the field. We aren't privy to what is happening in practice, the film rooms or positional groups work. The coaches have all that information.

Christensen and Brown are on the bench, or without a uniform, because they aren't ready yet. It is as simple as that. Rhule isn't just trying to lose games and keep some genius rookies hidden from the league's eyes.

If either were good enough, ripe on the vine so to say, they'd have been out there.

And yeah, they may actually be right.

I'm all for seeing them play too but I'm not yet convinced we're dealing with another Ron Rivera.

Well the guys they have playing now are Definitely not ready....nor will they ever be. Take the rookie with the most potential and play him, the other rook Asap. 

They can't proceed with 'the less then JAG's' they have on the field now.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
