Key Matchup: Van Roten vs. Donald


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Look for Wade Phillips to exploit this mismatch.  However, the Panthers SURELY have a plan to help VR.  I expect to see a lot of Manhertz beside Williams (so Williams can block down) or I expect to see Armah in the backfield with only one job--taking the first blue helmet that emerges from the OL left.

Manhertz makes the most sense, but we shall see how they deal with it---hopefully Ron had flashbacks of Von Miller in Super Bowl 50 eating Remmer's lunch this week and realizes that you cannot ignore a mismatch up front. 

On the other hand, a solid run game and quick passes are the key for the offense.

Nobody has talked about this much--i have simply said our LG situation bothers me more than LT---Van Roten is key to our success today if left one-on-one with the Don.

Yeah id say thats an important matchup

And this is exactly why im not giving this staff a pass if this cost us in the long run. How do you go threw the entire off season and dont think LG needs to be upgraded?  Van roten is a legit backup has no business starting in the league and oh wait you play the best damn interior linemen in the league week one. Wade Phillips lined up von miller on remmers in the superbowl for a reason.  Expect the see same today, this coaching staff is just unbelievable.

More like the key matchup is Van Roten and whatever other lineman that will be helping him every snap vs. Donald

He should never have a 1 on 1 battle with Donald

Aaron donald vs anyone single coverage is a mismatch.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
