Marty impressed with new guard

Marty appears big on UDFA guard Mahon.

 

From the observer...

“That’s my guy,” says Carolina general manager Marty Hurney, who watched Mahon on tape and attended one game to scout him live. “He just has that look in his eye. He’s physical. He’s got a chance.”

 

Panthers desperately need one of these UDFA guards to make the team.

This is exactly what I called when I looked at tape of our UDFA's.  Guy was meh as a tackle but mostly because he struggled with speed rushers.  On the other hand, in the run game, the guy was a mauler and loved contact.  If taken off the edge and just allowed to maul, I think he can be a pretty good guard.  Until I see him with contact, I won't make it a lock, but I do think he has a very good chance to be a decent guard for us.

This is what they said about Norwell.

Scrolled down real fast so I could not see the name---I am going with the G from Penn St.   My second choice is the G from Clemson.  Now I am hitting "Submit reply" and going to scroll up.

 

Good call, self.  I have watched a game or two on youtube and was impressed.  This guy will start in the NFL before some of our draft picks do.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
