Bad news on Matt Kalil


TheSpecialJuan

Recommended Posts

There is no clear timeline for Panthers LT Matt Kalil (knee) to return.

Kalil had his knee scoped on August 21 and reportedly has "no clear timeline" to return. Pelissero notes the Panthers have a bye in Week 4, so it's logical the team could hold out Kalil at least for the first three games. Carolina recently acquired OT Corey Robinson from the Lions since RT Daryl Williams (knee, MCL) is closer to being placed on injured reserve than he is returning in 2018. Taylor Moton is expected to start at left tackle in Week 1 for a Carolina offensive line that remains in shambles.

The part about Daryl Williams is the worst part of that quote if true.

It’s a post from rotoworld and that’s just whoever wrote it’s logical opinion about how the injury was reported, not a new report that he’s not healing properly or whatever. The odds of him returning this year were always long, I don’t think anything has changed.

This team is built to make a run...but then you see our OL.  How can we keep whiffing on this so badly?  Just give Cam something decent.  

Yeah, how can we keep whiffing on this so badly while injuries ravage the players. 

Think. please just think before you post.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
