UDFA watch - Brendan Mahon - G - Penn State

Brendan Mahon  - Penn St - 6'4 320

I am going to keep an eye on this kid throughout camp. Panthers desperately need depth along the o-line and this guy had success at left guard and also right tackle for a legit football program. Panthers paid him the higher end of the UDFA cash, so they apparently think there may be something as well.

He played LT in 2016 as well.  I watched some tape and he looked good, but he did give up a sack early.  Not a T, but I see G who can backup T in a jam- glad you started this thread.

And if he makes the team, he will have beat out 23 other Guards.  Talk about throwing numbers at a problem..

I sincerely believe, by the way, that Rivera wants Moton at  Left Tackle.  He can bench Matty Nice if he has a quality backup.  Norwell II would certainly be a gift, and that is what they are looking for.

I read he is a better run blocker than pass blocker.  One of the guys opening up holes for barkley. 

Gotta admit tho Norwell spoiled me, 6'6  monster with a mean streak. I hope this guy replace him but that is still big shoes to fill.

Yeah, Norwell was such a wonderful story and great player.

Sadly, Penn State's line was trashed by many going into the draft for their lack of interior blocking resulting in Barkley trying to push every play to the outside.

Maybe he'll turn out?  Man, that would be nice.  Were I him, I'd call up Norwell and see what I had to do to try to match his success.

Norwell wasn't good at all as far as strength and speed.

 

If there was a combine drill for mean though....

Your "Norwell Smash" pictures throughout the years have been some of my favorites.  The rage he had on the field was truly special.

Based off last year, we probably need more “better run blocker” guys.

Idk what your talking about Norwell displayed tremendous strength maintaining bull rush from premiere DTs and showed his speed in pulling plays.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
