DT Nate Chandler to offensive tackle?


Recommended Posts

hmmm...interesting.

 

A four-star prospect and one of the best tight end prospects in the country as a California prep. Also averaged a double-double in basketball in addition to lettering in track and baseball. His father passed away just weeks before signing day.

 

Redshirted in 2007.

 

Saw action in all 12 contests at offensive line, tight end and on special teams, making two starts at tight end, grabbing one pass for three yards in ‘08.

 

Caught one pass for five yards in 11 contests in ’09 as a reserve tight end and as a special-teams player. Missed three games because of injury - Arizona and Oregon State (concussion) and the EagleBank Bowl against Temple (quadriceps).

 

Switched to the defensive side of the ball for the ’10 season and appeared in all 12 games, starting eight contests – the first four at defensive end and the next four at defensive tackle – and recorded 21 tackles, one tackle for loss and one sack with one pass batted down.

 

Appeared in all 14 games, making five consecutive starts late in the season at DT, and managed 16-2 1/2-1 with one pass batted down in '11.

i've read a bit more on him and he wasn't getting all the reps he wanted at TE so he asked to move to the DL. he was 225lbs his senior year of high school and by the time he was a junior in college he had filled out to 290lbs (went up to 303 at one point)...but he was still really athletic, not a fatty. that's kind of big for a TE.

 

what i see is just a good athlete who can handle both sides of the line. he's probably more needed on the offensive line and that was probably his best chance for sticking with the team. i see him working on the left side backing up gross and giving campbell some competition for the LT2 spot.

Shows me that they really like this kid. Moving him to OT gives him a better opportunity to make the final 53.

he's big. he's athletic. he's versatile. he's willing to play anywhere. he's shown he can learn multiple positions. ideal for depth, imo.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
