Before the game it was reported that Mahon was to get the start at LG, but that actually ended up going to Van Roten.

Here are the combo's I noticed throughout the game. From Left to Right. Substitutions are in bold.

1st string: Kalil,Van Roten, Larsen, Turner, Moton.                 That combo played 2 series with Cam.

2nd string: Clausell,Mahon,Larsen,Van Roten, Moton            This was the lineup for Gilberts first series.

2nd string 2.0: Clausell, Hearn, Van Roten, Mahon, Motorn.     This was the line up for Gilberts 2nd series.

2nd string 3.0 : Clausell, Hearn, Friend, Mahon, Bisnowaty     This was the line for Gilberts 3rd and final series.

3rd string: Clausell, Mahon, Friend,Price, Bisnotway.               This was the final combo I paid attrention to and played on Heinicke's first drive.

 

Very small sample size to work with but I must say Van Roten filled in pretty well at both guard spots and even Center. So if Larsen does not slide to guard when R. Kalil comes back I'd suspect Van Roten is the favorite to win the job as of now.  Hearn and Mahon do not appear ready yet to take on that role. 

Also feel like its worth noting on the first string line, even with Van Roten and Moton having to step in and replace starters, I still think Matt Kalil is our biggest liability in pass protection.

Lastly, did anyone notice if Jeremiah Sirles played at all? I thought he was going to be a key depth piece but have not heard his name mentioned all camp and don't recall seeing him play last night

Good take on the line play last night. There was a lot of rotation going on, but they did well as a whole last night. I was most pleased with the way our first stringers went against their first string. Buffalo is really strong up front and we withstood what they threw at us.

Moton and Van Roten did really well and I could see both of them sliding in and holding up this season. Matt Kalil wasn't the best out there, but with one near sack, the rest of his time looked pretty decent... not great, but decent. 

I think basic play calling aided them a lot, and the speed at which the offense set up and moved was refreshing. That has to help the O-line immensely. Still, I want to see how they do with Ryan Kalil out there calling out the protection and solidifying the group. Larsen seemed to do a decent job, but Ryan K. is one of the best at it in the game.

Very nice, thank you!!!

Re: Sirles, I think I saw something from Voth that he tweaked something and didn't play as a precaution.

IIRC Van Roten was decent during spot duty last year.  We'll throw enough poo at the wall to stick at Guard, but just gotta pray for no injuries at OT....or that we find an upgrade sitting out there. 

 

Don't know how much he has left in the tank (recent Pro Bowls, though), but Donald Penn might be on the trading block in Oakland. If I'm Hurney, that's a move I might make.

I like Van Roten and Larsen very much as depth, and feel like they both have done pretty decent when they have to play. I know some would like to see Larsen get the starting center job next year, but we were much better when Ryan played.

I know he can improve with more playing time, but I'm glad we signed him.  Right now next year is a good year  for centers.  I like the idea of Larsen on the team at  the money we spent, but would like to draft better.

We were much better in what way? Speaking  purely from offensive stats our results were pretty similar with a slight advantage toward Larsen in most categories. I think people are largely just parroting this line because they want to believe it.

just going off what I remembered, didn't look at any stats.  Easy for me to say I feel better about our All Pro center being in there vs an undrafted free agent, but I thought Larsen was acceptable.  Seems I remember something about us moving the ball better when Ryan got back, but I may be wrong.

Van Roten did a good job besides the first play of the game.  

Moton was outstanding.  I didn't think that there was that much of a separation when Williams won the job last year.  And it bodes well for a cheaper RT for several years to come if Williams leaves.  

Bisnowaty played well.  Still a little shacky on a couple of plays but he just joined the team.  I remember watching film on him when I was trying to watch Dorian Johnson at Pitt.  Great pick up.  

And in blocking in general family it was nice to see a FB and some 2 TE sets to help the line.  Damn I like Norv.  The quick execution of passes will help our line. 

Unfortunately did not key in to watch Mahon as much as I wanted.  But Hearn needs some work.

The Dolphins weren't good but he manhandled them and was carving room for CAP that game.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

      I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
