He's killing the combine:

"Flowers set the bar for offensive linemen at the combine in the bench press testing. Flowers, who measured in at 6-foot-6 and 329 pounds, bench-pressed 225 pounds 37 times. Making his feat slightly more impressive: he did it with arms that measured 34 1/2 inches long. Only seven of the 53 offensive linemen at the combine had lengthier limbs. Flowers moved that weight a greater distance than most.

In the 40-yard dash testing Friday, Flowers ran a 10-yard split — the key number for offensive linemen — in 1.78 seconds. Only three offensive linemen were quicker, each of them smaller and lighter."

Yeah, Flowers is probably driving himself too far up the draft board for us to have a chance at him.

 

I think we're going to meet with a TON of OTs.  I HOPE we meet with a ton of OTs.  I wouldn't mind double dipping in the least.  I like Remmers, don't get me wrong, but I'm not 100% certain that he's the long-term answer at RT.

another analyst not impressed:

NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout 3h

I'm not a huge Ereck Flowers fan on film (Nebraska, FSU

games) and he's not been super impressive here either.

 

 i watched that same game vs. Nebraska, and he didn't have a bad game. a lot of people called Miller out on that too.

#Miami OT Ereck Flowers looking pretty good in change-of-

direction compared to most of the OL. Jake Fisher also

looked good, unsurprisingly.

Ereck Flowers 5.29 1.78 That's an I make money ten yard

split

gridironstuds.com Chad Wilson @GridironStuds 4h

That's stupid that Ereck Flowers moves like that at that size.

6'6 1/4" 329 lbs. and gliding across the turf like a summer

breeze.

Ereck Flowers is a great example of a guy who wasn't great

as a junior but worked hard senior year of hs, got bigger

offers. Killing combine

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
