Two Options for Tackle Depth that might be better than Amini

Recommended Posts

Two practice squad players. They wouldn't cost the Panther's anything more than a roster spot and a minimum non guaranteed salary.

Roderick Johnson: 2017 5th round pick, currently on the Texans practice squad.

Storm Norton: Norton initially signed with the Detroit Lions after going undrafted out of Toledo in 2017. He spent some time on the Lions’ practice squad, as well as the practice squad of the Arizona Cardinals before signing with Minnesota in December. He is now on their practice squad.

Are they better than Amini? I have no clue. It's not a super high bar to hit.

Rod Johnson...How did that guy survive high school?

David Newton says Silatolu will likely get the start at right tackle.

Because he was probably an ogre in high school. Also, I simply can't trust David Newton so I'll wait and see.

i have always been optimistic but we will never survive.  Ron will ride this guy to his demise.  Sadly we will lose Turner in the process.  He is the best thing to happen to Cam and will be blamed for Rivera's man crush on Silatolu.

What choice does he have except he's a vet and knows the line calls? Moton was suppose to be the swing tackle this year. He's now #1. Maybe Corey Robinson isn't getting in done in practice or picking up the line calls yet? It's not like we have a ton of choices but now Kahlil is needed to come back so Moton could move over. Hate to say it but that might be the best option and it's hang on till then.

One of us could probably block better than Amini. He literally highlighted himself on several screw ups. Good job on the research.

I don't wanna hear that crap, there are guys on practice squads, rosters, free agency list that can block better than aminis garbage ass.  Its not even close honestly. He is that bad.

I can give you 2 more options for depth at tackle that might wotk better than Amini:

Bailey - my dog.  Boxer - about a foot tall and a little over 80 lbs.  He doesn't know the line calls at all but he listens, when he wants to, and he likes to jump on people.  That might scare a couple of the DE. 

My Grandmother - 103 years old.  110 lbs.  Dead for 2 years.  Nobody likes an old dead person.  It would at least scare the crap out of a few of the DE.  To be sure she would never move the wrong way on a down block.  

Both better and cheaper than Amini.

    • and they don’t get paid and teams don’t keep playing them 
    • Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is. 
    • We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
