..for who was on our roster going into the preseason:

LT M. Kalil: We're not getting worse but we're not getting better here...contract lock

LG Van Roten: He showed up when needed last year, has the experience, is not a thrown to the wolves UDFA.  Best run blocking OG outside of Turner which is big.

C R Kalil: Self-explanatory 

RG Turner: Self-explanatory

RT Moton: Honestly, he has a bigger upside than Williams and it is why he was a 2nd rounder.  Dion Dawkins taken 1 pick before, Moton has really good potential and has a bit more turn than Daryl.  He has a ceiling to protect from the speedy and the power in a really effective manenr.

So there it is.  

Adios

I think the line the will be fine. These guys have to stay healthy though and I applaud Daryl for making an attempt at a return.

If Ryan can stay healthy then that will do a lot to maintain consistency for us. That lets Larsen float around the guard positions

We had two All-Pros on our OL last year. One is gone and the other is going to miss an undetermined period of time. We're getting back our former All-Pro center. Hopefully Turner will bounce back from a somewhat disappointing performance last year. Regarding Turner, and Norwell, I hope that we're not looking back in a couple of years forced to acknowledge that we re-signed the wrong OG.

I’d still like to think it’s possible that Matt kalil plays like he did his rookie year (Lol). I’m not saying it’s likely, but... I mean, idk 

 

lets just say every year he lies and says he’s healthy, but this year he’s actually healthy! Bam! Now we have a stop sign not a speed bump.

Think moton will be solid. Whoever wins LG might not be so great but probably better than AS so that’s a win. Ryan kalil still not playing? Still pissed about last season. Someone needs to spill the beans on wtf happened bc I don’t buy this sleep funny oww I broke my neck poo one bit

Swap out Amini and Williams and is it really that much different? worse? better?  

I'm excited about Moton but Williams was 2nd team all pro for a reason last year and to expect Moton to be even close to that is a stretch. We've barely seen him outside of jumbo packages in real game time. I'd temper expectations with him, but I am sure glad as hell we have him behind Williams.

Turner was helping the Center spot a bunch last year. Moton looked really good as well. I think Thursday showed a OC with good game flow can counter a good defense and pass rush. You could also see our line was still not pushing the Dline yet we still moved the ball. Something Shula didn't do.

Unpopular opinion. I know. But Taylor Moton starting makes our right side better. Daryl Williams was overrated honestly, and Moton’s superior athleticism is certainly showing already. Had a strong showing against the Bills.

Of course, I’ll let Moton continue to prove that down the road. Hopefully, he will so that we don’t have to worry about the right side of the OLine with Daryl Williams out.

Left side. As long as Amini doesn’t start, it’s not a catastrophe. Hopefully Mahon and Van Roten continue their strong performances.

Moton has the feet to play LT in the future for sure.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
