The Panthers have only allowed 3 sacks...


The Question

Recommended Posts

I'm not one of the people that wants to kill Remmers, but we have played three division games since then and our division isn't known for rushing the passer.  Atlanta is doing alright, but the other two are in the bottom half of the league. Arizona will be a true test of his ability at LT. We'll see how it goes

Atlanta, NO and Tampa defense....none of which are known for or have displayed good defense or pass rush...

this week we play the #2 defense and known for their ability to disrupt.

so the stat is on par with us opening the season against horrible passing offenses and trying to equate that to our pass D being decent.

Yeah, AKA he'll get his ass kicked because he's trash.

You guys give Remmers such a hard time. He's not an upper tier OT, but it's not like he doesn't belong in the NFL.

Remember Bell and Chandler and Amini? Now that was a crap storm. 

He is in the same line up..if he doesn't  get cam sacked, he close to it..then if there is a penalty majority are on him..he sucks.. he is better than them but not by much.

I'm fine with Remmers as a backup, but he shouldn't be a starter.

I hear ya. But, I think a lot of his sacks and pressures are due to play calling, and Cam holding the ball too long. Not all of course, but most.

He's not a shut down Tackle, where you leave him out on that island for the entire game. That doesn't make him a bad player, just one with limitations. I think he's perfectly fine if you were scheming a defense. He's athletic enough to pull and get down field on screens. But you just don't put him on the best pass rushers by himself, drop Cam back 10 yards, and forget about him. 

McDermott wouldn't lock Peanut Tillman up on OBJ for the entire game and just forget about him. That's asking for a 600 yards receiving day from OBJ. That doesn't mean Tillman can't play. He just has limitations that you have to scheme around.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
