Two Options for Tackle Depth that might be better than Amini

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.

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
