Two Options for Tackle Depth that might be better than Amini

Ron always talks about how he wants to see consistency when he talks about young players. But if you are completely inconsistent as a VET it is just fine. 

In todays salary cap era a coach has to find the young players that can step in at low salaries and play above their contract.  Ron refuses to do that. He just stays with the mediocre Vets Who play well below the cap value. And is the downfall of this team. 

I like RR but this is starting to get on my last nerve.

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

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

That news would come from David Newton.  My least favorite person reporting on my other least favorite person.  F em both.

I was there In person bud. And also read the recaps.  Care to argue some more?  Read the recaps.  Williams gave up 2 sacks.

pass protection has never been his strength, hes a Mauler RT. Amini gave up a 3rd sack and we rushed for -2 yards after Daryl went out. Daryl was destroying Lawrence in the run game.

The Panthers probably need to think about trading for a tackle. My target would be DJ Humphries, from the Arizona Cardinals, who are going nowhere and need picks to build a future. Make the pick a conditional 3rd and a 5th rounder and stick him at LT, moving Moton over to the right side. Humphries can stick even when Kalil returns and is young enough to stick there for a few years.

The current "window" closes when TD, Greg Olsen and Pep leave the team, which is likely at the end of this year. I don't like trading picks often, but believe we have an opportunity here.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
