This is a god awful unit how can you gettleman feel comfortable protecting the future with a line full of backups and kalil

it's not protecting the future, it's protecting the present.

 

i'm not happy with the line. but i wanna see what happens with these next few signings (if we have any) and what happens when the real bullets start flying.

We'd rather pay a luxury at DE 13 mil for 1 year than to get a really solid tackle or 2 which all went away in the beginning of free agency. We had some good choices then. Now, not so much. It's about my only gripe about DG.

 

He made the decision to keep his strengths strong.

 

I don't like it, but I would like it even less had the leveraged the future.

Are Turner and Silatolu considered backup quality now? I'll admit that one being a rookie and one coming off an injury makes it tough to say that they will be good starters, but this seems harsh and an overstatement.

 

I can accept that we are flirting with fielding backups at the tackle position, I guess we'll have to see if changes are made.

I have not seen one player pop up in FA that I would have wanted to bring in here to solidify the T position, that we could afford.

This coupled with the fact that the draft doesn't appear to have offered any sure fire prospects that would do the same is one of the main reasons I'm not feeling much like complaining about the tackle situation before I see one game.

I still can't believe Bell is our starting LT.  I remember Williams at RT back in 2010 and he wasn't terrible. Chandler he's looked pretty bad at times, but the coaching staff must see something in him. Silatolu looks bad to me when trying to block stunts and blitzes.

 

I think the plan this season will be heavy on the read option, and Cam is just going to have to chuck n' duck on 3rd and longs.

I think we kept so many because it's our weakest position.

I also believe we will have to cut someone when Alexander returns from suspension.

Seemed like a lot of OT got claimed via waviers. So it was a smart move to keep the canadian.

Week four someone will be hurt by then, or both cam and DA will be heathly. Having both lines @ ten each will be very rare too. Trade could be in the works too, but that's rare too.

A lot of these hacks just want to bitch, the same with Aceboogie and the god damn WR's.

 

 

Lay out a legit plan, and then point fingers.  This isn't Madden.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
