Howard working out for Panthers


top dawg

Recommended Posts

After reading through all the articles about him over the past month I am convinced he is the safest pick in the draft. He gets comparisons to Olsen but honestly at this point Howard is likely further along at this point than when Olsen was drafted. If we pick him up we would have a better offense than we had with Olsen and Shockey. Howard talks about how important blocking was to him at Alabama and the emphasis Saban put on strength and blocking given given how much they run. I would actually move up for him before I would move up for Fournette.  Then again I was heavy on the Greg Olsen bandwagon when he was drafted. And don't think we should trade up for anyone from 8. Now 40 is another story.

Always enjoy your posts, so are you saying that for you OJ is the #1 offensive player in the draft?

    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
    • Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things….and very much gets into why the middle school QB doesn’t fit
