Marquis Haynes continues to impress.

This kid may actually contribute this season 

 

[Darknight]

He has good hands.

I am hoping the drill wasn't supposed to be 100% for that tackle because that was embarrassing.

Unfortunately, I think that's just pretty much the state of our OL.

Speed kills.  So do SEC lineman.  Hopefully it translates to the regular season.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm going to be kind of skeptical until I see it in preseason.

Lots of guys can look impressive in drills. It's another to do so in a game against an actual opponent.

Hope he turns out fine, but we'll see.

Really think this kid could end up atleast a poor mans Vic Beasley

Or Vic Beasley could be a poor mans Marquis Haynes.

The guy is fast, sure, but in that video, had the guard dropped into passpro or been blocking a DT, the inside would not have been as cleanly available as it was.  Again, I'm simply looking at one video, I haven't seen a practice to make a more in depth analysis.

That would be ideal

 

But im going with the worst case to keep the expectations low

Those opposing interior OL are probably going to have their hands full trying to deal with Short, Poe, and company at DT.

[BrianS]

I don't disagree, but even if the interior linemen are otherwise occupied, there won't be a clear path to the QB inside like that.  He was only 3-3.5 yards behind the LOS when he turned inside.  If he had pushed the tackle another couple yards upfield and then made the turn, it's more likely there would be a lane.

Again, it's just one rep.  I am encouraged by all the reports we're hearing on the guy, but I want to see things that look more like actual NFL reps before I go all giddy.

#78 making M Kalil look All Pro

The life of Cam Newton is literally in the hands of Norv Turner. If Norv can’t figure out how to get around the weaknesses on the o-line Cam will get killed this year
