Silatolu Hurt (edit: Being Evaluated)

I am not a fan of his but I was trying really hard to not be a bad person with this one. Mahon got the reps in his place.

 "Offensive lineman Amini Silatolu left practice in the front seat of a cart, and he was sent back to Charlotte for evaluation of a sore leg. In his absence, Brendan Mahon, an undrafted free agent from Penn State, got first-team reps at left guard." Link

Torn ACL so he’s done. Two starting offensive linemen with major knee injuries in camp. Yeesh

That's awful for him. And for him personally, I'm sad. However, for the team (and it's bad that we all know Rivera this well) it's for the best. At least we all believe that to be true. There will be many examples in this thread describing how injuries have forced Rivera to make the eventual right choice he should've made anyways.

But still sucks for the player and I feel for him. SB?

Wait where'd you see the torn ACL from?

If you saw it on twitter from an account named "saltydontcare" or another account, they're probably messing around and quoting an old tweet from 2013 lol.

Just imagining the cart and him in full uniform driving up 85 from Wofford to Charlotte

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
