Interesting excerpt from the end:

Quote

Noteworthy: Alabama's Landon Dickerson, unavailable to play or practice with a knee injury, was nevertheless on the field and strongly attuned to instruction from Carolina Panthers coaches. Dickerson was working on technique with fellow interior offensive lineman David Moore, of Grambling, between reps.

Yes pls

Only thing, dont thing he make it to our 3rd pick.  

Posted a thread about him the other week.  And the consensus among people here, they didnt want to touch him until the late rds due to injuries.

 

Dickerson is from Hickory, NC

 

 

 

Really started to like the idea of Onwuzurike as a potential 3-tech replacement for KK beside of Brown

He’d fit in with the culture we’re trying to build but man he gets injured a lot. 

If he gets injured a lot at 20-21, he doesn’t stand a chance at 25-27 (with a longer nfl season).

Sounds like he isn’t worth any pick.

My wife’s from Hickory and that gives me a good reason to follow this young man. I’m glad I’m not alone on thinking he’s an injury risk. We really need to build up our o-line and hope we’re actually serious this time about doing so.

Big men with injury histories are a failed draft pick waiting to happen.  There's another Tide player, O Lineman, similar excellent character, great when he is healthy, but terrible injury history.  We can't afford that sort of risk.  A winning organization doesn't take chances, they make calculated decisions.

I'm just excited that we're vetting center prospects. Paradis is a potential cap casualty and the team needs the future pivot for the OL. There are a several very intriguing center prospects this year:

  • Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma)
  • Landon Dickerson (Alabama)
  • Trey Hill (Georgia)
  • Tyler Linderbaum (Iowa)
  • Josh Myers (Ohio State)
  • Drake Jackson (Kentucky)

If the team is looking to continue the rebuild and not rush to win now, I'd love to see them scoop up a young guy to either learn for a year or supplant Paradis.

Love, love, love Creed. Kid's going to be a stud at the next level.

Interior offensive lineman don't need to be big names to be good in the NFL, there's a lot of potential starters at the Senior Bowl. I knew Humphrey would be hyped here bc he went to a big time program and has a cool name but thankfully you can find good players on the line all throughout the draft. Dickerson is always injured so that should be a big red flag, esp if you complain about Greg Little not being able to stay healthy.

    • Hmmm... not a good start. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but after the guy who has been carrying your offense expresses frustration with his sudden lack of use and your HC just blows it off and confirms they haven't even talked, your PR team decides to use the guy who should be his backup as their poster boy hyping this week's game? Yikes. Hard not to interpret that as another slap in the face.
    • For some reason this is becoming a disturbing trend in the NFL. Teams are shutting down one part of their offense without causation from the opposition. Shane Steichen did it an overtime loss against Kansas City last week with the best back in the NFL. Pete Carroll allowed Chip Kelly to completely abandon the run game against Dallas the week before he was fired in Oakland as the OC. Matt Lafleur abandoned the pass instead choosing to rely on a bottled up run game when we clearly were having issues with the passing game. Big brain play callers some of them HCs are what the league wanted along with high powered offense and these dudes are making some of the dumbest situational calls I've ever seen. At least most of them are young and can learn, Canales included. I remember Norv Turner trying to throw the ball around the yard in a certain SuperBOWL, going in at halftime down 13-6. Emmitt Smith said get me the d*mn ball and took over in the 2nd half. Remember Kyle Shanahan in the 2nd half vs. the Patriots? This shite happens to the best and the brightest. We are just actively seeing it play out in real time just like Atlanta and Dallas fans before us.  Also, not saying Canales is going to become either of those, just begging/hoping for our sanity he gets his shite together if he's going to be our HC.
