Gman: ...we're going to attack the issue [of LT]


top dawg

Recommended Posts

With everyone getting all caught up with Dave Gettleman proclaiming that he is not going to "overdraft" in a decidedly weak class of offensive tackles, I think that it's just as important to note what Max Henson of the team's website reported, as it gives even more clarity.


"We're going to look at what tackles are available in free agency, look at what is available in the draft and see where they fit," Gettleman said. "I'm not going to overdraft, I'm not going to overpay. But we're going to attack the issue."

So there you have it! Vintage Gettleman! Sure he's not going to reach for an overvalued LT in the draft, but he's also not going to reach deeper down in his pocket than he ought, just to pay an overvalued  LT in free agency. And yet, still, we will attack the position, so look for some changes with Michael Oher's future still up in the air.

I'm loving that language.  He knows what he's gotta do and I respect that.  Let's hope his actions follow suit.

Yeah he's certainly checking off my wishlist, with his words---LT, TE, WR, DE---now we just have to hope that GettleClause delivers!

Matt Kalil, watch it happen. He made the Pro Bowl once. Slowed by injury, but looked better than any OT in this draft when he came out, only 27. I'm sure some of you guys would pan it, Whitworth is old. Draft sucks, we can take a 3-5 round flier but that's a shot in the dark

If Matt Kalil is the ONLY LT acquisition, GMan must truly care more about Bob Barker's plea to help control the pet population more than the team.  Male Panther fans will have a much harder time getting and keeping an erection and fewer Panther babies will be made.

What else you got? Legit LT's are like white unicorns right now. Give me names

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
