Great article about Christensen, author throws shade all over Rhule’s face about arm length

Our OL situation becomes a MUCH easier fix if we have the long-term solutions in place at both OT spots. Serviceable IOL are much easier to find. Well, they are unless Matt Rhule or Marty Hurney are the ones shopping. My concern is Scott Fitterer may need to be on that list too. Seattle's OL is as bad as ours.

Christensen, who Rhule sees as a guard because of his arm length, has played pretty well for a rookie being forced to learn multiple positions on the OL.

not sure how many times he said "who Rhule sees as a guard because of his arm length, but it felt like it was every other sentence.

I felt like it was done for the purpose of memeing, so I had to continue the tradition.

One thing I really did not take into consideration was how little the offensive line matters in the Big 12. I remember now reading tons of articles about how top flight o line recruits will stay away from the conference because no one gets drafted out of there. Since they all run some air raid variation, all they need is their offensive lineman to be able to get up quickly and move to the next play. Blocking wise you just need to slow the defender down a little bit.

In the NFL....not so much.

SMH, man people are ready to crown him @MHS831 . He’s been OK but not being able to pick up blitzes after his guy stunts is a big problem. It cost us 1/3 of the points NO scored because a free run at the QB that should have been picked up is the most likely to cause a fumble.

Maybe he can get better but that’s why tackles are so important, especially on the blind side. If a rusher comes up the middle it’s bad but the QB can see it and at least react. The tackles screwing up is what typically creates the fumbles.

It’s funny that the article keeps mentioning being seen as a guard even though he’s right now playing LT for us. Seems like he’s getting an opportunity. I just hope we don’t pass on a much more talented LT on the hope that next time he’ll actually react quicker to the blitz since he didn’t even get his 🦖 arms out to impede the blitzer. As said above, solid IOL help is available day 2 of every draft. Remember our buddy Hurney didn’t draft a single IOL from 2018 to 2020 after letting Norwell walk, trading Turner and watching Ryan retire. That’s the reason why our interior is a steaming pile of poo.

He's a rookie who has gotten minimal playing time and yet has still been by far and away our lost effective LT. It's 100% on Rhule. It's 100% on Rhule why we haven't seen Deonte Brown despite everyone we've trotted out at RG getting treated like a doormat.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.

      I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.
