Jarrett Patterson played 3 years at Center and his last year at guard. I am curious as to why you think guard is his natural position? I also agree that he can play guard when juice scrubs returns.With Scruggs, his biggest attributes are his intelligence and his ability to anchor. That alone would help to call defenses and keep that pocket from collapsing and give CJ room to step into a pocket and deliver a ball. I agree Patterson played well against the jags...but his natural position is LG and plays better there. When Scruggs comes back you anchor that Left side of the line with Tunsil, Patterson, and Scruggs and you will now have huge running gaps to drive trucks thru once they are healthy and have cohesion.
He was never the truth.Atm he was. Good things never last
I never miss
Cons: doesn’t handle pressure well. Has an inability to hit open receivers when it’s not his 1st or 2nd read. Doesn’t see backside safeties sometimes which will result in turnovers in the nfl.
thought you did something there. That was his evaluation from college from a nfl scout. Love how you left out the pros. At least you tried broNo sh*t...?

It's a good problem to have. For me, the deciding factor might be the ability to anchor. Whichever player can anchor at the center position the best, that's the one I want there.Patterson just finished cutting his teeth against the Jags and Steelers defensive fronts. With upcoming schedule….Patterson could make a pretty big jump in his results.
The chemistry has been very good even though the OL hasn’t had their best players on the field.
Scruggs has played OG and he’s athletic enough to excel at the position. I think the best move is parking him between Tunsil and Patterson. Tunsil needs all the help he can get in the run game.
It will be interesting to see how Tunsil does with an above avg run blocker next to him.Patterson just finished cutting his teeth against the Jags and Steelers defensive fronts. With upcoming schedule….Patterson could make a pretty big jump in his results.

Patterson has been really good after being thrown into the fire as a rookie. People want to change what is working when Scruggs hasn't played a down in the NFL and who knows what kind of shape he will be in after missing the last part of camp and at least the first 5 games of the season. There's bound to be rust and posters wanna stick him in the most important communication position on the ol? SMHIt's a good problem to have.

to be clear, I want to do whatever Strausser and Bobby want to do, they have earned my respect. I am just happy we seem to have more than warm bodies this weekPatterson has been really good after being thrown into the fire as a rookie.

Isn't it great to have a competent ol coach and depth on the ol. I don't care where he plays, Patterson was a steal in the 6th rdto be clear, I want to do whatever Strausser and Bobby want to do, they have earned my respect. I am just happy we seem to have more than warm bodies this week
We have Atlanta then the Saints, and then the Bye. I would give Scruggs only limited action, if any at all, until after the Bye. So with Green2's injury, who's left to play LG. Broeker, I guess, is the next man up. Or Morrissey?Patterson has been really good after being thrown into the fire as a rookie.

Jones has a hand injury and was not active against the Steelers. Guess we're waiting for this week's injury reports.I would guess Jones.

It's not all that surprising to find guys in the low rounds for the ZBS.As for the Oline and the ? of where Scruggs goes when he comes back; I believe next to intelligence the biggest thing for a C is the ability to anchor. With Scruggs they had reported that his lateral movement wasnt the best but his ability to grab his defender and anchor was elite. That there was no bullrushing him and he would stonewall pressure up the front.
Patterson has played surprisingly well at C, but Scruggs had him beat at C during training camp and I have no reason to believe that when Juice comes back that that will not be the case again. Neither lack in intelligence.
IMHO Scruggs has the better ability to anchor and Patterson has the better lateral movement. Those are my reasons for wanting Juice at C and Patterson at LG.
In reality its a great and unexpected problem to have. Who would have thought that we would find a gem in the 6th round for the Oline?!? Either way when everyone gets back from injury and our Oline is set with the pieces we originally projected to start it will be far better off than the patchwork we have right now...and Im not taking anything away from the play we have gotten out of them for the last 2 games. It has been nothing short of amazing, but I will be happy to see the protection CJ gets and the holes that will open up for our Rb's by our starting Oline.

Trying hard for attention? Mod?I never miss
Way things are going there probably won't be any "choice" about him. They're going to play the five healthy guys... period.We have Atlanta then the Saints, and then the Bye. I would give Scruggs only limited action, if any at all, until after the Bye. So with Green2's injury, who's left to play LG. Broeker, I guess, is the next man up. Or Morrissey?
Get’em coach DB@DanielTx You're not a moderator. Change it or I'll do it.
I voted good
I voted elite... But only 2 days ago.
What vote?My vote was Great, but I don't remember voting. Or when. LOL

Not getting it from me. I'm sure many hoped for it. But nobody saw it. My story, I'm sticking to it.For the record, I voted elite when this came out. I expect credit for that.
Well, I for one and SHOCKED by that information! SHOCKED, I say.
Well.
Not THAT shocked.
Opinions are like azzholes.
You made some folks made with this post for some reason but looks like you were 100% right so far. ROTY is basically confirmedgood-elite if he develops correctly. Cj college stats were impressive. 2 seasons with 85 passing td’s 12 ints, really 11 ints considering a osu receiver tipped a perfectly placed ball on the highlights. 75+ long in both seasons.
Cons: doesn’t handle pressure well. Has an inability to hit open receivers when it’s not his 1st or 2nd read. Doesn’t see backside safeties sometimes which will result in turnovers in the nfl.
Pros: very accurate. has a cannon. can pick up easy yards on scrambles. A natural winner and football player. Future roty and hofer
Trusting the coaching staff will develop him into a star. Bryce went #1 because he’s great under pressue. Just hope cj shines in that area this season.

Levis can’t read defenses. He makes poor decisions and has inconsistent accuracy. Wasn’t he sacked 36x senior year? Slid down in the draft because of his predraft antics lol. Glad he’s playing for our rival.
Richardson is inconsistent. Not enough experience. I don’t see superstar in him. Colts were desperate
The ability to handle pressure isn't a coachable thing.I'm really not worried about this. This is a very coachable thing. Preparation. Repetition. Whatever they were doing at Ohio probably didn't address his issue for situations. That's what his coaches will help him navigate.
Maybe he's been eating spinach.The ability to handle pressure isn't a coachable thing.
Well okay, but what have you dream lately?Thank you thank you, means a lot man. I was laughed at and clowned for my predictions. I remember it like yesterday. Later that night after the draft, I fell asleep and suddenly I had a dream… that Cj would throw for 4,912 yards along with 34 tds and 9 ints his rookie season. I had a dream that one day Davis Mills would forever be a backup and wouldn’t make our fan base disappointed anymore. I had a dream that Cj would rejuvenate our free agent receiving core after failures on their previous teams haha right or wrong we should be happy we’re back to winning football and watching the early stages of a dynasty
shocker
