Matt Kalil Concerns


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Practice one is in the books, and I am not at all reassured about Matt Kalil. Typically with non padded practice, the offensive tackles have the advantage as the defensive ends can't fight through as much. That didn't appear to be the case yesterday with Kalil. 

Mario Addison got around him and to Cam Newton instantly in more than one instance. The only time Addison was at bay was when Kalil was chipped by Dickson. Kalil really struggled to get wide enough to stop Super Mario quickly enough. 

The speed rush was always his biggest issue. Lets hop that this is just a starting point and not an indication of whats to come.

the Panthers paid this dude 55 million so he can be as bad or worse than the tackles we had before? damn somebody do something..

You realize I've been saying this was the worst signing in franchise history and people try to defend the guy right?  This dude is horrble, ask any viking fan, watch any full game that he played... all the pressure comes from the left, they push him aside like he's nothing. Cam is gonna have another bad year of rushed throws, it's sad.

It is just the first day, not sure that I would be making assumptions this early about anything, kinda like the whole silly fat KB stuff. Would much rather see what he looks like in the preseason before I start sounding the alarms, and he was a FA for a reason, probowl LTs are like franchise QBs they don't go anywhere!

This story worries me. Clearly this tells us that JR's other "sons" - GO and TD - was indirectly the cause of DG's firing. Makes me think - Is Matt Kallil now a Panther with a lucrative contract just because RK also has "son" status, he lobbied JR, and DG was forced to open the wallet? To fulfill JR's romantic dream about the brothers playing on the same line? First I was stoked about the transfer, and us finaly getting set at LT for years to come - now I'm not so sure if the talent realy is there...Hope I'm wrong and MK will turn out to be the best LT we ever had.

And don't even get me started on Bersin why he is still arround. 

Lol - just posted this in the other SS thread. You are adding to my worries Mr. Igo...

    • General tone of the thread. Probably shouldn't have quoted you directly. Not to mention, this White kid has a career 6.8 Yds IAY. Bryce is 7.7. That is not even an upgrade in targets down the field. It's literally a downgrade.
    • The scope of the limitations is so far beyond long bombs. Nobody here is clamoring for us just to run straight up go routes on repeat. There are crucial throws defenses know we can't convert such as down the sideline that almost always result in either the ball going several feet over the receivers head out of bounds or the receiver having to leap into the air and make an acrobatic attempt to haul it in or having to completely slow down or stop. It's off the table and defenses know it and sooner or later we were going to walk into another buzzsaw like against the Patriots. Nobody here is in love with Hendon Hooker or Mike White. It wasn't us who made the decision to ignore the depth of the QB room two years in a row. You can whail at people for discussing it all you want. If you're bothered by the discussion then all up Dan Morgan and bitch at him about the fact we are having to discuss the likes of Dalton Hooker or White. It isn't our fault. 
    • But we have the qb whisperer or so I've been told
