Panthers met with Miami OT Ereck Flowers

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:

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

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

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
