Predict the Line!

With Oher and Martin, Amini, Kugbila, and Chandler coming back from injury, and the strong possibility that we take an OT or two in the draft, who do you think our starting five will be on day 1?  How about mid-season?

 

I know it sounds like a joke, but so did the idea of Bell and Chandler being bookends last year; it's possible with our coaching staff's history that we're not just going to plug Oher/Martin/Rookie in at LT and see how the line does.  

 

So what do you think?

Martin, Norwell, Kalil, Turner, Remmers. 

 

I think Oher will make the team, but Martin will win out in training camp for left tackle. Both have a lot to prove, but Martin has fewer miles and he was outstanding as a left tackle at Stanford. 

 

I think both are going to be a big upgrade for us.

man this is going to be quite a sight to behold when Jeremys, Jake Fisher bubble is popped.  Carolina will not be going OT in the first 2 rounds.  With the Oher and martin signings, I think Getty thinks hes set for now, may pick up a project OT in the later rounds. or UDFA.

Panthers high on Fisher in the second, just an FYI.

Fisher won't be there for our second unless a trade is made.

The difference between this year and last is that now we have better options. Last year we had Bell and Chandler and Amin. The rookies needed time.

Sure, but the issue there is will he drop to 57(doubtful in my opinion) or is Gettleman high enough on him to move up to get him? Our 4th should be enough to get into the low 40's to pick him if he's available there but Gettleman has yet to show the willingness to move up in the early rounds. Obviously there is a small sample size to go off, but it's all we have. There's also the Chip factor. Fisher is from Oregon and the Eagles have an aging LT who probably only has a couple years left. Getting above the Eagles at 52 may be required as that very well could be the lowest he drops.

I don't have Kug in the equation at all. Think he is on the verge of being gone. I would say the next injury and he has a cash settlement bus ticket out of here.

 

 

They tried to get rid of him last year. He cleared waivers much to their dismay. He was injured, so he had to go on IR. 

 

 

I doubt he gets a jersey this season.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
