Panthers sign Rams OT Mike Remmers from Practice Squad to 53 Man Roster

[chknwing]

At the very least G-Man found Norwell and signed Velasco. Let's see if this guy can replace Bell. If he does, I'll say G-Man did an adequate job considering the circumstances.

His nickname will henceforth be Mike Remjob.

The Rams have all sorts of oline problems with Jake Long going to IR so if they didn't even want him on their 53 man roster he must not be any good 

 

We may have just beat them to the punch before they signed him to the 53.

Laugh all you want, but this guy is literally an upgrade over every tackle on our roster.

Let that sink in.

Im not laughing at him, Im laughing cuz while knowing he is an upgrade over all the tackles.......i fully expect to not see him starting......

[klumme]

As a former UDFA he will fit right in Now just hope he is a lefty or we are fuged.

[Mr. Scot]

Ultimately Gettleman. Rivera shares some of it, I believe he lobbied for them.

Agreed.

We know from their own words that the Panthers roster building process is a collaborative effort. Gentleman listens to input from Rivera, and I agree that Rivera lobbied for guys like Bell and Chandler, among others.

But the GM is the one who ultimately signs off on these things, so he has to bear the blame too.

[Ricky Spanish]

IT's not like gettleman didn't try to sign guys in the offseason people... They didn't want the pocket change we could offer them. 

[FuFuLamePoo]

Taking Seantrel Henderson or James Hurst in the sixth might not have been a bad idea

[tailg8or]

Do you think Bell, Chandler, or Foucault would be on anyone else's regular roster?

 

Chandler?  Do you mean Slash?  DT / OG / OT.

 

In the offseason, we draft a stud LT with our first pick.  It's too important and there aren't many available in free agency.  There are 4 worth spending a first rounder.  Move Chandler back inside to guard to compete with Norwell, Amini and Turner.  Moving him outside only took an OK guard and made him a bad tackle.  Get a decent RT via free agency and keep Bell for depth. 

 

So ... I could see Bell and Chandler on the roster, but in different roles. 

[BettyBangzer]

Let's hope that we got lucky on this particular dumpster dive.

[therealmjl]

The real question is how soon will he see he field.

[GRWatcher]

 

Also, jeez if he can't keep his hands on his iphone 6 how the hell is he going to handle pass rushers.

 

The man obviously can't do two things at the same time. So if he leaves his phone at home on game days we should be ok.

[TheRed]

Just have some real competition at the tackle position. That's all I ask.

[rmoneyg35]

I think Foucault will start and this guy will be our back up as long as no more injuries occur on the offensive line. I do think this is the perfect time to let the unproven offensive linemen to get some reps and see if we can find some quality offensive linemen for the future. It has happened before when most our starting linemen got hurt and Schwartz and Bernardeau played well in their absence.
