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.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
