I think Christensen will probably be a starter from here on out

     Brady had one of the best RAZ scores for athleticism in this past draft. Brady’s  shortcoming would probably be he doesn’t have the ideal playing weight.  I believe he is right around 297 pounds. He is athletic enough to overcome the arm length argument at tackle. 
      Why on earth does half this forum think he would be the answer at LG? He played left tackle in college and he would not hold up well to an NFL defensive tackles interior bull rush. Think about a tackle like Derrick Brown bull rushing the rookie. That just wouldn’t work. 
     Please leave Brady at one of the tackle positions, preferably the side he excelled at in college. My vote would be Moton at right tackle where he has excelled and feels most comfortable.  Brady where he has the most experience. Deonte Brown should help slow up the push right up the gut. Those options don’t fix our line issues but it should slow up the leak.

This is exactly what I've been saying.  BC, for all that he is, doesn't appear to be stout enough to play G.  My only observation is that we should stop moving him around, put him at LT (where he played his entire college career) and see where we go.  Nothing to lose really, and it gets both tackles in their most comfortable position.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
