Does Darryl Williams have a legit shot at replacing Mike Remmers?

[Mr. Scot]

To the critics: Take a few minutes and check out who plays right tackle for the other teams in the league. Then come back and tell me again what you think of Remmers.

(and no, that doesn't mean "look up PFF stats")

I will agree the Remmers has been solid, ESPECIALLY for how we found him. However, as the weeks went by it was clear to me and everyone else in my section at the stadium that he was becoming a huge liability. I'm not talking just about how often he got blown up with speed rushes, but also that he was committing a lot of penalties as well that were killing drives. Like some others that have posted here, I believe the switch would have been made at some point during the season if we weren't undefeated (or a 1 loss team). He was our biggest problem from about week 10 forward during the regular season and a big problem during the Superbowl, in my opinion.

Not this year. Hoping the coaches keep on the wave of the teams finding ways to beat our line and get to the QB.

Not sure D Williams has the feet to be a pro RT at this moment

Yep. Williams will struggle with the elite speed rushers too. That was his weakness coming out and weaknesses very rarely become strengths.

 

Weaknesses may not become strengths. But that is how good players become great. By limiting their weaknesses. If you have the desire, and work ethic, you can pretty much eliminate your weaknesses. Maybe they won't become strengths, but they can be improved upon.

 

Every player gets a list of what to work on to improve over the off-season. That is how weaknesses are limited. And if you wish to remain a Panther, you had better take your wish list to heart.

 

No reason to believe that Remmers isn't working his butt off to get better. He knows he has to. He isn't to the point where he is indispensable. Not many players are. But the closer you are, the longer your career. Smart hard working guys have long careers. Smart lazy guys, not so much.

 

That said. IMO, Remmers has more value as depth. Which is why I am hoping DWill comes into camp and just blows it up. We have proven we can win with Remmers. But that don't mean he cannot be over taken.

He was injured in the opening regular season game after Remmers won the starting position. Williams played in every preseason game.

I really felt like we wanted to get Williams involved during the middle of the season, but with us doing so well and us having an explosive good offense, we didn't wana shake up the chemistry we had going ... why fix something that isnt broke? win streak and all.. why risk it  just keep the mojo flowing

 

Remmers did a GREAT job for us last season and was apart of the #1 total offense. HE has flaws as does anyplayer

 

But this offseason I believe that spot will be 100% up for grabs. Remmers is a REALLY solid depth guy, but i think Williams brings more of what we want to the table...  HEs a big, strong powerful guy that is DOMINANT in the run game. Him next to Turner is a DEADLY combo running any type of run play.. I think he can be good enough in pass pro especially considering Cams mobility which masks many different types of deficincies in our entire offense..

 

I think Williams is exactly what we are looking for at RT    HES BEAST

 

 

We dont do that Finesse Bullsshit

Remmers did a banged up job for us last year, but if you watch some of the games they've played back on NFL Network, it is very clear Remmers struggled all year.  We were good enough to win with Remmers, but we really need an upgrade at that spot.

Or do we have another season to look forward to Remmers getting beat by speedier DE's? 

Maybe the new OL coach can save him.

[uscgamecocks]

I personally wouldn't be shocked if we pick an LT prospect early in the draft this year and start him at RT by midseason, preparing to take Oher's spot next year.  I'm not sure dollar store Dave is going to be willing to resign Oher at market value if he has another good season.

[Yaboychris28]

I'm pretty sure Williams would have been embarrassed by Von Miller as well in the super bowl 

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

T-Will looked like a damn all-pro in preseason and training camp.  I was more excited about his play than any other player on the field.  

 

IMO he wins the RT job easy.  I also believe we use a 3rd round or better pick on a LT to groom and replace Over when his time comes.  G-money loves having players in waiting.

 I agree.  Why did he not win the job last year?  The OL is about chemistry.  We were winning.  You don't screw with that.
