Matt Kalil contract details

Andrew Whitworth

2014 PFF Top 101 - #16

Quote

How flawless was Whitworth in pass protection? He didn’t grade negatively once all year in this regard and had an incredible 10 games where he didn’t give up any pressure at all. Thats remarkable even when you consider the help the Bengals scheme provides in getting rid of the ball quickly. Throw in some excellent run blocking and it’s amazing Whitworth isn’t more highly regarded around the league.

2015 PFF Top 101 - #41

Quote

There are few more consistent players than Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth, who posted the ninth-consecutive positively-graded season of his career, representing every season PFF has been grading, with a retrospective 2006 in the works to complete his career. Whitworth allowed 23 total pressures over 1,124 snaps (including the playoffs) in 2015, and again graded positively as both a run-blocker and pass-protector—as he has every season of his career. The Bengal may be getting up there in years, but there remains few more consistently-excellent tackles than Whitworth.

2016 PFF Top 101 - #26

Quote

There is no more perennially underrated and under-appreciated tackle than Andrew Whitworth of the Bengals. He ended the 2016 season with the league’s best pass-blocking efficiency score (98.0), allowing just 14 total QB pressures across 561 pass-blocking snaps. Whitworth recorded six games this year in which he had perfect pass-protection games. His run blocking was solid, albeit not the strength it has been in seasons past.

 

Matt Kalil just doesn't compare, regardless of his younger age.

Sorry, i can't resist...  but where was this freewheelin' version of Gettleman when dealing with Norman last year?

25M guaranteed?  55M total?  And so many here have ragged on Hurney for the contracts he gave out, lol.  Look, i think having his brother here and Matsko will help a bit, but we just gave 55M to a guy who was rated lower than Oher.  I'm hoping for the best, but on paper this is horrible as-is.

My guess is the first 3 years are fully guaranteed. So $25 million over 3 years is $8.33 million a year and in the market today that is as good of a gamble as we're going get with the Panthers management. 

Yep... I bet it is 5-8-12 per year. Then if the three year experiment doesn't work, we've gotten a bargain at what free agent LTs are going to be going for over the next three years.

Now lets go get Swearinger at Safety, Warmack on the inside to compete at Guard, Jordan Mills to come in and take over RT duties, and Devin Taylor to add to the pass rusher rotation... I will look like a modern day Nostradamus!

I hate that Andre Branch re-upped with Miami. I thought we would make a push for him. I will settle for Taylor though, and make him earn it like Kalil will have to.

A bargain for three years at what expense tho? Cam's health? The offense being able to operate? A bargain is well and good but not when the play on the field is piss poor (if the three year experiment didn't work).

Because CBs are replaceable as are DTs. OTs are getting harder to find anywhere. Most in the draft are just OGs that played OT in college.

 

Ohh yeah, and he was a fool that ran his mouth with a weak a$$ agent.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
