If Ward doesn't make the cut, I'll be upset. Forget the hype for a minute, we just need all the protection for Cam we can provide. Lee is an old school, bruising FB who paves the way for our RBs and picks up blitzes from LBs and DBs like a boss.

Why the fug not. Especially since LBs have gotten smaller. I want to see him lay out those big mouth defenders like Wagner, Sherman and Chancellor like bitches.

with oher looking shaky ward might make the roster simply because he's such a good blocker. if he's versatile enough to leak out into the flats and catch a few balls he'd be someone else defenses would have to consider.

i wont get ahead of myself, but to be fair to Oher, Jeremy said he did better today. hopefully "doing better" continues through the preseason and into the regular season

Let's look at the landscape:  Who is our blocking TE? (A: A hybrid TE/FB?)

Who is our FB?  (A: A hybrid FB/RB?)

Who is our LT?   (A: Below average in pass protection)

I say Ward is a good fit because he can stonewall LBs in pass protection, lead block for runners, and help inferior OTs block DEs.  He can catch passes and play special teams.  He is the closest thing we have had to Brad Hoover since Fiametta.  I say he wins a job, but here is the good news:  If he is put on the PS, how many teams use a FB now?  He should be fairly safe.

"The veterans don't appreciate a rookie coming and hitting them in the mouth..."

I love this guy!

 

They don't appreciate it now.

Once he starts hitting guys that are wearing other uniforms, they'll appreciate it very much.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Navy_football · Posted

      No it isn't. 😅😅😅 If someone says he can't throw X many yards because he didn't do it last year, but he threw it X plus 10 yards in college, that shows he can. He may not have done it in Carolina, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. There is a real possibility that there were extenuating circumstances. These definitive but inaccurate statements are also known as hot takes or gross exaggerations.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      By Wundrbread33 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how many of you guys also visit the Reddit panther sub, but damn Mingo catches so much poo in there, and Bryce gets every excuse.    Seems like inconsistent logic to me that Bryce gets a pass for the team dysfunction, but Mingo is just a bust.   I saw inconsistent tape from Mingo, but he had plenty of examples of good route running…showing me he can do it.   He was a rookie, and naturally was inconsistent with it. I don’t think we are dealing with Dwayne Jarrett here. I look forward to seeing him develop more consistency…and I hope Bryce can get him the ball if he does.

      my thing is, we have seen lots of good QBs play behind really bad OLs at times.  And yes, bad OLs impact everything.  But those good QBs, still have lots of moments showing how good they are behind bad OLs.  And frankly, a bad OL has never made any of them what we were last year.   Heck, many of them go to the playoffs with bad OL play.   That's my Bryce issue.  He didn't have really any moments that a #1 overall pick should of had.  Bad OL play included.     But I concede, Bryce was setup to fail.  And fail he did.  But if he was special, I still think that still has it's moments no matter what.
