If Silotolu Starts...

the only games we win are the ones where the defense can  dominate.  Amini single-handedly almost cost us this game.

As soon as he was on the OLine, every play crumbled.  We couldn't move the ball.  If Jarrett were any kind of smart, he'd have punted on the 4th and 10 and pinned us.  Lucky for us, he was world-class stupid with play calling and time management.

Cam won't last half the season if we have to start Amini.  At this point, I don't want him near an NFL field unless it's for the opposite team.

I agree he is a drive killer and will get your QB killed. Even when Taylor Moton got beat he at least tripped two Cowboys Defenders to prevent them from having a free shot at Cam. Amini doesnt even have the awareness to hold or grab a facemask. I hope Corey Robinson starts this week.

Yeah, Amini isn't starting material. He isn't second string material. He was suited up and could fog up a mirror when the team had nobody left to throw into the game who knew the play calls.

We got lucky that we had a lead and that our defense can hold ground when we need it to.

I don't think Rivera was on the sidelines just rocking the happy dance that Amini was going into the game.

Stop it. Do any of you not realize Amini DIDNT START THE GAME. He started TWO rookies over Amini. That should tell you everything you need to know. Amini went in bc the new swing tackle isn't up to speed yet. Stop bitching about a good decision that you don't understand.

up to speed? lol as an o linemen you either pass block or run block, there is nothing to get up to speed with.

Yes.  We all realize that.  Do *you* realize that we started *ZERO* rookies on the O-line?  Not two?  In fact, our only rookie O-lineman was inactive yesterday.

The guy *directly* cost us one point.  No debate.  He may have cost us three more, depending on the blocking responsibilities for CMC's fumble near the goal line.  Yea, Amini was in as the jumbo tackle on that play.

Honestly . . . the decision everyone here is baffled about is not why Amini was in the game.  It's why he's even EMPLOYED.

Do we still even know whether Robinson is healthy or not? I've still heard no update on how his foot injury is going.

If Robinson is not ready to start next week we need to strongly consider signing or trading for someone.  Unfortunately, Sirles is not even an option for us until Week 6.

Silatolu has taken over the whipping boy mantle from Brentin Bersin.  He shouldn't be starting or necessarily even on a team with OL depth.  However, at this point, our OL depth is as bad as WR depth was until recently.

Silatolu is not 100% to blame.  He is not a starting caliber OG, let alone an OT which he was pressed into being yesterday.

But yeah, the coaching staff needs a better plan than to just start Silatolu and hope for the best

Yeah we basically didn't have a T. The look in Amini's eyes when lined up said it all lol.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
