This is a clear all-nighter boozefest, mouthwash, sleep soon as the game ends, alarm for 12:55(4:10 for the older peeps), profit.

4 out of 5 I approve greatly, given the state of the team/Rhule. This made up for DL coach hire, Wilks is one of the better DB coaches in the world.

I was here for most of the draft last year, in the draft thread it was nearly 100% of the posters were screaming for Smith in the mid-rounds. I started in the 4th, lost my mind when the Long Safety was drafted. Even at that point, if he doesnt play, it was worth the risk. Think If Smith, Moton and Elf were on this team.......been a great boost.

Nate newton eat your heart out, dumbest people on earth do this while they are close to a 80 million deal. One less LT option, enjoy hiring all the lawyers and while hoping to make a come back at 32....

Yea I agree, bring this guy in an consultant role, not coaching 24 year olds. Rayzor had a good one about this making Snow look young. You know Rhule has ALL the coaches do sprints and similar stuff that the players do for bonding fluff.........I hope they have the ambulance running when this happens now, especially at the burg..... fuging rhule......slightly got my hopes up..

Better had......looks at age.......

I just was bragging and getting high on hopium for Rhules coaching hires, now he hires a close to 73 year old man for the 25 and younger group.......curse you MATT RHULE!!!!! CURSE YOU!!!!!

You mean leos right??...

Fun fact- Pasqualoni is the last living coach to call plays at the rome colosseum..

I didnt give the hope part a thought, I for one am hoping Finesser has the full control come draft time. Rhule does come off as someone who would do anything to save his job, even if it meant trading players/future picks. I swear if Rhule picks Pickett at 6 or trades up for him, save me a spot on the fire rhule bus.....it would be soul crushing for me if that happens

I thought most huddlers knew this since most here are in the hardcore status. The doomed and o noes ones, like this was the way for tepper to get his prized pick.

Im confused as well, why the surprise??

The first baylor bro that jumped shipped, hmmmmmmm Honestly this team needs lots of coaching help/input, its past time for Rhule to hire a DL coach. Now WR needs a voice and leadership. Get to work rhule!

My bar is low. Again Im no fan and in a rare move spoke out against him numerous times. After he came back form injury and got a couple games at C under his belt; He played fairly well, you have to take in the fact on each side of him was UDFA level play. He played better than Paradis did in 2021 and full 2019 season. Simply can not fix all the problems and when you have a guy thats decent, roll with the best solution. Of course if youre able to sign/draft a clear upgrade after filling LT, LG, MLB, and maybe even TE. All for it.

C is the most important OLmen. Its been that way for 20 some years. Just for some odd reason the draft and free agency $$$$ has lagged behind that thinking. C makes calls, leader of the group, has to put in the most work, hes not able to fire off like the other 4. I got no clue why they are not drafted higher or paid among the LTs, its a trick that teams plays- "we cannt pay everyone" TE is the same, vastly under paid and under drafted. Run and pass chess piece, control the middle of the field like center. Im no Elf fan at all, but you can not fix every spot, he played well enough to push the C need down the line for me. He was at least better than 2021/2019 Paradis. Again bump any Elf thread during his signing, I trashed the hell out of him( i never do), but here I am giving some support as a C(if you do, I said hed make a better C) I just hope for LT and one of the OGs is filled with average play.....figure out the other OG via luck(brown, morton, FA vet min, trade, etc). Moton is best OL and Elf holds down the C.....little dream heavy for me, but its a realist hope.

For sure its on the table, I heard that during the season were big brain Rhule wanted Christ to get snaps across the OL. Injuries hit and Christ took C snaps cause ELF, Paradis and Teck were injuried nearly at the same time. You need 7 OL man. Starting 5, swing OT, and Backup C/interior. Chirst can be one of the 7, im 99% sure.

Im high on hopeium, so excuse this. If ififiififififi the panthers get lucky with a couple draft picks/FA and then theres Mike Horton or Austen Pleasants miracle.... there is some small chance at fielding a decent mid-ranked unit. New OL coach cappy maybe a warlock and still has some of the green bay dust. Honestly its can not get worse, young players are older, new players are another year adjusted to queen/rhule, new coach, and a couple draft darts and some Cap space that already been spoken for at OL. 16-20 ranked can happen with some luck....

I feel this will be the most insane market for OL in history. Watch a few no-names/backup types will get 10 mill per. I can even get my hopes up that a couple OL will fall in the panthers favor, the radar is too good for that. My real hope is that Alejandro Villanueva will take a team friendly deal after a poor showing(word is cut) to rebuild his career. He should be able to play LT while the panthers draft his replacement.

Hes 99.999999 % getting tagged if no deal is reached, but he could do something dumb like Alvin. Panthers has no chance for his services. Not worth talking about, unless you like to day-dream.

Panthers got a good one, honestly maybe the best one on the open market. Blackburn was just too young to deal with all those issues-3 kickers, 3 punters, poor coverage/return due to poor players. I always said if I was HC, Id spend whatever it takes for the best OL and ST coach. Rhule has done great about hiring coaches this time, could be the grand slam if he lands a legit DL one. Those three years contracts are able to get coaches while Rhules sit is warm...

If they are still trying the "wide zone" he doesnt need be an animal. I got no clue about the direction, wish the reporters would do some good reporting and find out. Hes a top tier OL athlete numbers-wise, so pulling and getting out in space would/should be a strength of his. Plus passing blocking should come easy as a LG. Watch the New OL cappen and Christ become BFFs, I can already see that. Cappy may not care about the arm stuff, prefers grit I bet. Wide zone fits most of the current group, Elf is good fit.......about the only good fit he has....I dont know if thats a system Cappy teaches or not.

He may get cut by the recent news. Vegas doesnt want to handle any crimes, you have to go above and beyond. At the least this is looking like a 8 gamer, if you doesnt pay the guy off, jail time is clear as day. I thought this guy was "cool" minded? Terrible mistake and he will pay millions now and later.
