Without Turner available Mike Shula was clearly afraid to run the ball between the tackles, over right guard. Without Stewart, Shula was afraid to run between the tackles on first down.

Without Turner, the Falcons got the more interior pressure against the Panthers than any team i have seen this season. Witbout Turner, Shula ran the ball less between the tackles than I have ever seen.

Without Turner we lost. For those of us who thought Silotulu was improved; we were wrong. We were dead wrong. He is who we all knew he was a few years ago and he simply doesn't have the ability to step in as quality depth against an above average interior lineman like Grady Jarrett.

This week we will have Stewart, Trai, and Coleman back, along with 8 full quarters of tape showing what doesn't work against the Saints. It's time for Rivera and Company to come up with a game plan that at least makes the Panthers competitive against the Saints, lest the season be lost and the focus of the team will no longer be distracted from the impending sale of the franchise they all work for.

Why the fug are we playing his ass over a guy we drafted in the second round?? 

Amini sucks but Moton is a tackle, not a guard. And a rookie at that. He may need time, just like Daryl did, who's now balling out in his third year. Stupid to assume he'd be better than Amini without seeing him in practice.

He was the best o linemen all pre season. Everytime he has played he has flashed. Amini was also a second round pick that was cut for a reason and hasnt showed anything to change that. Plus amini has played tackle and guard so moton can definitely fill in. Amini was getting tossed on his ass yesterday.

There was a game plan. We just don't have the speed on the outside to get separation from a defense as fast as Atlanta's. With Byrd, Stewart, and Turner we would've seen a completely different offensive game plan yesterday.

The coaches ultimately weren't as concerned with winning as they knew using Stewart without Turner would be pointless. They played to play, not to win. I suspect we will see more ball control style offense and traditional power runs against the Saints this week. Our slow was receivers need play action to get separation.

Amini was hot garbage the first go around when Hurney drafted him.

Then suddenly when it was Gettleman who decided to bring him back, the huddle acted as if he was good. He's never been good. It's been the same dumpster diving bullshit DG pulled with the OL all along. From Nate Chandler, to Mike Remmers, to Amini, and then Gettleman panicked and threw a kings ransom at Matt Kalil. We haven't been able to establish anything consistent since Gross retired. That is simply inexcusable.

Oher was good until he seemingly sustained an injury worse than a concussion. Left tackles uses to be a dime a dozen, now they are nearly impossible to find given the climate of college football.

Regardless, Silotolu, I suspect, will be graded as one of the worst guards of the day into the NFL yesterday. Someone with PFF can confirm or refute this.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      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
