For those of you wondering about Moton in 2019, did you wonder why he was not playing some LT yesterday?

That makes me wonder about Williams and a new contract.  Or the condition of his  knee.

We were one OT whiff away from CMC taking snaps.

Options?  Moton to LG,  Moton to RT without signing Williams,  Moton to left tackle even though we kept him on  the right side this season while the LT position sucked.

Since RR is the coach, who knows?   Does he think that far  ahead?

yeah man, long, ideal LT frame? Blazing quick 1st step? Proven talent?

Let's move this player to OG.

 

 

He was a better G in college than T.  He has not consistently shown the attributes you have associate with him...If your LT sucks and you have the LT of the future at RT---what would you do?

Exactly on point about LT...the obvious choice is going after a good LT...which has been the obvious choice since Gross left...

Yeah

Haha some people on here

Dude handled Dallas's Lawerence better than most LTs in the league.  

But want to draft a guy like Little who scots says has the tools but is a project, and got beat pretty bad by some college pass rushers this year

 

 

Only Huddler would want to replace a guy who handled a probowl DE at LT and was solid in his other showings there.

To draft a project who gets beat by college pass rushers.

Moton to LT and Williams to RT seems like the logical move. (yes even to Hurney) 

Rivera said he was going to takee a look  at players this week.  Why not let your future LT play LT? 

Is he  still  thinking Kalil  is  the man ?

No. Matt's contract allows them to move on if he's post June 1. I would very much think this is what they're going to do.

How does someone not consistently show the attributes I listed? lol.

This entire thread feels like setup for "there's this OT I want the panthers to draft in the 1st round and they should pass on bigger needs and two strong OT talents to do it."

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
