Kalil Not Practicing

It makes you wonder how much players truly 'always prepare as if I'm going to play'. Obviously everyone says it. But when it comes down to it, is that just fluff? I can see a lot of the backups being pretty lackadaisical in preparation and it biting them in the end.

It's not fluff with Kalil.

Kalil has been really great for us, and I hope this is just something temporary... but it would probably behoove us to get some real insurance. Just like when Kalil was drafted, there are many years when you can grab the best center in a draft for a second or third round pick. 

As long as it's not Hurney making the pick.

Larsen looked good last year, but did not play well last week.  Then again, I am sure it didn't help that Norwell played like crap right next to him.  

It also couldn't have helped that Larsen only found out he'd be starting shortly before game.

And that we changed all calls & signs since Joe Webb signed with Buffalo...

Really hoping Ryan will be healthy on Sunday and this line can get some chance to gel together with Cam...  though I have to wonder whether Moton will get any snaps at RT.  Daryl Williams didn't look great against Buffalo!

Moton is going to have to play sooner rather than later. RT or LT. Take your pick. Both OTs looked awful against Buffalo.

The same Amini, the fat man signed this past offseason?

To be a backup, yeah.

Signing a guy to a cheap backup contract doesn't quite equate to using a second round pick on him then watching a far superior player be taken with the next pick.

I hope so. Daryl Williams is a solid back up but should not be starting, he seems lost out there at times.

Moton is smart and physical. Yes he had some scuffles with Kuechly in camp by going too hard without pads, but I will like to see that overeagnerness against the opposition.

The whole OL suffered against Buffalo , Williams is more than capable starter. 

Moton needs to start getting reps at Center

 Just think, we probably only signed Matt because Ryan cosigned for him, now Ryan doesn't play and we're stuck with poo-tastic Matt and a huge cap hit

Matt Kalil only had 1 bad game I would wait until halfway through the season before calling it failure. 

IMO Kalil will be an underrated player that helps take this team to the Playoffs

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
