Since he may be starting at right tackle on Sunday, why not take a look into his background....

 

 

 

First, he played 4 years at tackle for a legit football program in college at Tennessee. No small school project.

2009 - Games/Starts: 13/13 ... All-SEC second team performer one of three Vols offensive linemen who started every game ... Finished UT career with 39 consecutive starts, tying Eric Berry for longest active UT streak ... Named to All-SEC second teams by league writers and coaches ... Participated in both East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl.

 

Also, he was actually drafted in the 5th round by Pittsburgh in 2010

Thickly built player with great height. Gets his hands inside defenders and has a strong punch. Reads fast and takes proper angles. Has the strength be a road-grader in the running game. Finishes blocks and shows a mean streak. Played extensively in the SEC.

 

and... he looks like he is in decent shape at practice. I was worried he would come in looking huge again, but he actually looked pretty decent.

 

Yes, there is reason for concern. But there is reason for hope. I mean, really, could it get much worse at RT?

A Little on Nate Chandler: 

 

After training with Panthers OT Nate Chandler the past two summers, Hall of Fame LT Jackie Slater claimed "there's no doubt in my mind he's a top left tackle."

A converted defensive tackle, he's now battling Byron Bell to start on Cam Newton's blind side. "He's mentally equipped to solve problems, and that's what you have to do to play offensive tackle in this league," said Slater, a seven-time Pro Bowler who's now the OL coach at Azusa Pacific University. "He's going to be a good offensive lineman in the National Football League for a very long time."

No it couldn't and I am happy they are making a change. He should help out the run game too. Now if they could just bench Harper and start Colin :)

 

Literally the only reason they are making a change is because Chandler is hurt.  That is literally it, this staff was compelled to keep the status quo if he wasn't hurt.

Bell is a backup RT

Chandler a backup guard at best.

Honestly Chandler would be better on the practice squad for a yr working out technical things. All this is moot as they have been forced into roles they are not equipped to succeed in.

I don't think Bell is equipped to succeed in any role on the offensive line in the NFL.  That's just my two cents.

Funny thing...

If Scott actually comes in and looks good, then you kinda have to question his being cut in the first place and other guys who haven't looked good being kept over him.

It'd be a good thing for us, but yet another knock on Rivera's ability to set a proper depth chart, especially given that if Chandler weren't hurt he likely wouldn't be here at all.

Last time I remember our line playing well I think Scott was in there, for as bad as he may have been at times

He really was never "bad" at all.  I have mentioned a few times, that he is actually a pretty damn good linemen, if he would get his ass in shape.  That's the thing I never understood, how he would just not do anything about it.  He would have been starting over Turner, if he wouldn't have came into camp looking like a fat turd.  If he's truly in shape, and has his act together in that regard, he will probably surprise quite a few people.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
