HurneyMagic? Amini Silatolu Doesn't Look Half Bad As A LT

So, remember that time Marty Hurney was talking about switching some players' position?

Quote

In some cases, Hurney suggested moving a player from one position to another” Rivera said.

Perhaps Amini might've been a part of that recommendation.

At first, many Panther fans groaned at the idea. I mean seriously, Amini as our 2nd string backup LT? What kind of messed up idea is that?

It only worsened when reports came out of Amini being dominated in training camp surfaced. In the first few days without pads, it appeared as if Amini was the definition of a turnstile as everyone took advantage of him.

However, looks like today told a different story.

On one rep against Horton, Amini showed a lot of promise as good depth. Take a look below:

Now, I understand Horton's primarily a run stuffer, but I want everyone to watch Amini. His technique is picture perfect, holding off Horton and standing him up. Amini utilizes clean and fast footwork to further limit Horton on the rush and keeping up with him.

Beautiful footwork and play. 

Maybe Hurney does have a bit of magic in him after all.

WHo is 96?

Look I've been following the Panthers since the start if kalil+gino are "healthy" this is the best group of OGs and Cs in 22 years. Amini looked great in 4 or so games he replaced Norwell, most of the other 20+ were poor. He justs get hurt, nicked, and injured far too much, IMO. Its numbers deal always, Panthers should carry 8-10(i say 9), every spot has tough competion, except backup LT. Herniay watched Aminis' college tape and fell in deep love, sad that Cordy Glenn as the next pick.

Well, he actually does have fast enough feet to keep up with speed rushers. I'm not counting on him ever being a full time starter but if he can somehow develop into an improved Remmers, it would be well worth it depth regardless of side.

IIRC, Mayock talked about Amini potentially being an All-Pro player when he was drafted, it just never surfaced. One thing is certain, I never want to see Trai Turner on the outside again. Last year was a crazy.

Amen on Trai and playing OT. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Yep. Remember the 49ers playoff game?

No thanks. He looks good at practice but Amini gets overpowered. Maybe he's a decent match for a speed rusher like Beasley... but an overall DE like Quinn or Wake? Or even bull rushers?

Amini will get run over.

Yep. I don't want him starting, but I'm hoping he'll be okay as a backup.

No he supposed to be our hope even glimpses of ability in a player should be welcome with warm positive arms I'm so sick of this board it's so pessimistic at times I just have to log off. I mean I understand being levelheaded but the season hasn't even started yet can't we all be excited and isn't exaggerating expected . This is the closest stuff we've had to football in months

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By strato · Posted

      That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By woahfraze · Posted

      This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce.

      Dan's first draft

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
