What happened to Ryan Kalil?

He is only a couple of seasons removed from being considered the top Center in the NFL.

His play has slipped over the last year or so, what happened to the All-Pro Center?

 

 

 

 

Sorry, this silly article got me thinking...

 

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12179331/how-many-players-away-super-bowl-was-team

 

I was reading it, and saw Kalil was in the "Average" category. So I looked at some film from this season, and yes there were moments he got burned on double teams, but also just pure slip ups that I haven't seen from him in years past.

 

I still think he should've been listed as "Good".

 

Carry on...

playing between silatolu and velasco or whatever AARP reject we had starting will make anyone look awful. it's no mistake he looked substantially better once turner and norwell were starting.

 

i'd love to see that interior lineup come back and start for us this year. i imagine a couple months of offseason workouts and training camp will do wonders for building chemistry.

Pretty much.

Kalil is a liability? I must have been watching a completely different player. At the absolute very least he has been solid.

 

As the players around him improved, the OL as a whole improved to finish the season. Is this really that difficult to understand?

I know right?

What's the deal with this bum?

Center should be at the top of list of draft needs.

We need someone who can call protections, remember plays and snap counts, and have 7 feet long arms and able to squat a metric ton.

This way he can block everyone at the same time. It's so simple.

Lol at you Kalil fan boys.

Pathetic really.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
