Big Ugly Makeovers


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

A lot of 'used to be good" uglys have hit the open market in recent weeks with teams deciding their performance wasn't worth their salary anymore.  

A few years back, Michael Oher was one of those guys. And prior to his now apparently devastating concussion, it looked like the time back under his original position coach John Matsko had done him a lot of good.

So the question I have would be whether Oher was unique due to his relationship with Matsko or can Matsko perhaps pull off a similar stunt with Matt Kalil or someone else.

Can Matsko make one of these guys ugly again? And if so, who should it be?

Matsko is garbage. The Ravens OL as much better when he left. Our blocking schemes are garbage. Matt Kalil may not be garbage, seems to be effort issues with him, honestly having his brother here, there's no better fit from an accountability standpoint. That's what he needs, in my line of work from a management perspective I look at skill vs will. Kalil's issues are mostly will, if I were another team, I would not sign him due to this, but with Matt here I would sign him in a heartbeat

I'm going to say Kalil.  He has the athletic ability to play LT at a high level, he just hasn't had the coaching.  Coming to Carolina with his bro, a great coach, and a team ready to made a SB run might be enough to push him to play his best.  This assuming he's back to form from his hip injury.

Okung - he's had as many health issues.

Fluker is Daryl Williams (as was stated by someone else in another).

After that....I dunno.

I'm not the world's biggest Matsko fan either, honestly.

But I'm looking for other's opinions on he and our potential new friends.

Man that "used to be good" feeling is a real b!tch.  When Jeremy proposed that "how many reps of 225 can you do" question, I got thinking...man I used to do a lot.  Now I get winded taking the elevator.

Is this your new alt

    • fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally
    • Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations. 
    • 5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
