Trai Turner destroys JJ Watt on Ginn TD [x-post from Twitter]

Turner and Norwell have done a lot to make our offensive line look serviceable.  Our interior line is above average, and they have also helped make the tackles look better.

Newton has been able to step into throws, and Newton actually looks poised in the pocket.

Just look at last night.  The Panthers certainly could use more weapons at receiver, but having great receivers means nothing if you don't have an offensive that can give you time to throw

But I was assured that Gettleman had ignored the offense.

Never seen anyone tripping on someone's foot and falling laterally and on their back. What I saw in this clip was a grown man body slamming another grown man. Got Watt thinking he should line up on the left now. lol

Easy explanation. Watt lost all leverage when he was tripped. Made it much easier for Trai to put him down.

Trai was doing all the right things tho, which is why he was able to capitalize on the pro Remmers trip.

I actually think the trip occurred because Watt was redirected.

If you watch the clip, Watt is pushing toward the inside. Turner absorbs the rush and redirects him away from his path. Watt trips but only because he was forced to the outside.  In the end, he's still basically wrestled to the ground.

Trai deserves credit.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
