Left Tackle Daryl Williams?

The first string left tackle position is without a doubt the position with the most question marks surrounding it currently on the Panthers offense. With mixed reviews of Michael Oher and backup Nate Chandler, the Panthers could be searching for a long term answer. 

During Thursday's practice, the Panthers initially went with Amini Silatolu on the left side, but during the first string team drills toward the last part of practice we saw Daryl Williams anchoring the left side for the first time this training camp. 

Williams lines up at left tackle for seven plays against second year man Kony Ealy. 

Daryl has improved his foot work a great deal since the June OTA workouts. I did not see him cross his feet at all, a bad habit he had in June. Williams' shuffle was faster and he kept a wide, balanced base as he fended off Ealy almost effortlessly. 

In the end, Williams gave up no pressures and run blocked well in the seven opportunities he was given.

Whether or not Williams continues to see time at left tackle once starter Michael Oher and backup Nate Chandler are in pads again remains to be seen. This could be just a case of the coaching staff wanting to see how the rookie adjusts on the left side safely, without bruising veteran egos. 

Williams did make the most of the opportunity, however. You cannot ask for more from a rookie.

It's quite possible that this is Gettleman's best draft class. Love Shaq for the future, Funchess' untapped potential, but Williams is quickly creeping to the top of my list of '15 draftees. I'd prefer seeing Remmers get time at LT and let the Williams-Turner duo steamroll the right side of the line all day, but whatever it takes to put the 5 best guys with chemistry together to win.

The coaches need to stop this bad experiment. He was deemed unathletic enough to play right tackle coming into the NFL and now they want him to play the most athletic part on the oline? 

How many top rated LTs are over 320lbs let alone 330lbs? Remmers might be the better one to try at LT but what do i know?

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
