Was it stupid to promote Matsko to "running game coordinator?"

He went from a revered offensive line coach to a running game coordinator in 2016, which is likely less hands on and more scheme-based. His replacement is Ray Brown, who was Matsko's assistant for a few years.

Since 2016 we've been awful on the line. Any correlation to positional coaching?

Interesting thought. I'm really not sure how his duties changed but if he did go from hands on OL coaching to more scheme based then I think it may have had an impact. I like Rivera but god damn I don't like how he's run his coaching staff on offense and ST. Defense is spot on, but the rest I just can't get behind with Rivera.

Since 16 our right tackles has been Remmers and Williams (who couldn't beat out Remmers) and left an out of position Remmers and a never lived up the potential Kalil. 

I find it hard to blame the coaches for this one

Overreacting here, who would think that QB coming off shoulder surgery and losing an All Pro TE wouldn't hinder the offense. 

 

Play calling  wasn't the issue it was more of Cam's accuracy & the inability to audible out of deep routes knowing the overload blitz was coming. 

Cam's decision making needs to improve especially with the loss of Olsen he needs to be more in command.

I think not having Ryan Kalil out there yesterday had more to do with it, but you might have a good point. Kalil runs that unit when he's on the field and they floundered without him directing the pickups and protections. And Buffalo just kept attacking Larsen and crushing the center of the line. He's a good back up but they put a target on him.

Not having Kalil hurt obviously, there were times the OL looked lost when the Bills brought an extra guy.

However, there were many plays that the Bills just rushed 4 and Kalil or Williams would just straight up lose their 1v1 matchup... badly.

It really was like watching the Super Bowl all over again but with Remmers playing both LT and RT

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
