LT Byron Bell not in pads today. He seemed to hurt his right foot during the game.
 
Bell is not in pads today at practice and it got me to thinking about his backup (and Chandlers for that matter).  It's David Foucault.  The rookie from Canada. Gary Williams was the other backup but he's out injured.
 
I'm one of those guys who thinks Bell and Chandler can get the job done.  Not elite by any stretch but they can hold down the fort as they say. 
 
But, good lord, if one of them gets hurt and can't play WTF do we do?  I don't even seen any Tackles on the practice squad.  Just Dennis Dixon at guard.
 
And please try to answer with something besides, "Kiss our ass goodbye" or "Start planning Cam's funeral".  Actually, you can answer with something like that.  Better to laugh at this then cry.

I mentioned in the game day thread I saw Byron on the ground grabbing his foot.

I doubt they would put Foucault in there, but who knows. Probably slide chandler to the left and maybe put Garry Williams (or is he ired?) at right

 

Pretty sure WIlliams is on IR again.

 

Agree that Chandler probably slides and RT gets backfilled.

Garry Williams - Placed on injured reserve with an injured back (9/27/14)

 

So we've got Faucault and that's it.  While I like Faucault, that is scary.

 

I would think they'd at least have someone on the practice squad.  Can any of our guards or other backup linemen play tackle in a pinch?

To answer the question of the thread--we improve at tackle.  

 

jk

 

There's a few different things we could try.  Zod mentioned the likely.  Chandler to LT, Foucault to RT...or maybe Norwell at LT? haha

 

Hell maybe shift Amini over--so we have: Amini-Velasco-Kalil-Turner-Chandler.  It can't get worse than it's been this season...can it?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
