Max Henson wrote a piece on our rookie interior linemen's budding relationship---on and off the field, actually---and Trai Turner gave a pretty nice quote on his friend, Andrew Norwell.

 

 

"Every play is 100 percent nasty with Andrew. And I thought I was physical," Turner said with a laugh. "That's something I want to add into my game. I had my plays, but with him it's every play. I love that, man. He pumps me up."

 

 

I remember at least a few on here touting Turner's nastiness when he was drafted.  Well apparently some of us didn't quite know the true meaning of what "nasty" is---Turner included---until Norwell hit the field.  There is obviously a distinction between "physical" and "nasty".  Here's hoping to the evolution of both---the terms and how they relate our O-line, and Turner and Norwell.

 

The chemistry and respect between the linemen began to show late in the season.  The interior of the line is in good hands with Turner and Norwell for years to come.

I'm excited about the 2015 class and training camp. Could be one or two more guys like that coming in.

 

If you tried to take any bias out of it where do you think we rank in teams most likely to win it all next year? I'd honestly have to think we're top 5. Obviously everything depends on FA and the draft and all of next season, but I'm curious as to where you think we're at as of right now.

If I'm being impartial I would say maybe 10ish right now. Offensive coaching and scheme still a big issue until proven otherwise.

True, and top 5 is probably too high. I was just so excited with how the season ended. For the most part our offense moved the ball pretty well since our o-line got settled in and didn't change for the last 6 games. And all the young guys stepping up, we won't be losing any important players at all to FA, and with Gettleman I can't see us getting less than 5 rookie contributors. It was actually our offense that was keeping us in the Seattle game.... And cap space opening up. I just can't wait until FA, the draft, OTAs, TC, preseason then regular season.

Having a story like this on site is a good sign that these guys will be the starters next season.

Can't wait for mini camp in May when we all get a glimpse of the starting offensive line for the first time.

If the names Chandler and Amini are in it, I fear for the Huddle server.

Turner and Norwell were the bright spots from this past season.  Love their attitudes and both really young and can be cornerstones for the next decade.  

 

Here's hoping we can add a beast of a LT in the draft.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
