Starting OL

[panthers55]

The line wasn't that bad given all the blitzing the steers were doing backups or not.  This was a top 3 defense in 2020 so of course we struggled with no gameplanning to neutralize the blitz. But I thought the backs picked up blitzes and as the game progressed the guys started sorting things out.  Were there some wiffs and misses? Did we leave points on the board? Yep.  Of course we have lots of work to do but it wasn't as bad as many here are suggesting.

Moton-Daley-Elfein-Brown-Christensen should be the starting line. Don't understand why Paradis' job is assumed to be safe. He is garbage.

Yep. Agree completely.

It’s gonna be a night and day difference in an opposing defense’s gameplan with vs. without CMC on the field for us. Defenses are gonna be more reluctant to blitz, they’re gonna invest more coverage to try and contain CMC (opening up opportunities for other receivers), and if they DO wanna blitz, we’re talking about having access to the absolute best safety outlet for a QB under pressure. You can’t overstate the impact of our absolute best player sitting on the bench for the entire game today.

Brady is going to start at some point this year. Might as well be now. I think he is probably an elite Guard and a OK tackle but I hope we upgrade next year.

I would say Erving looked better than expected tonight. Still not sure I'm ready to trust him as a full season starter at LT though.

Paradis? Wellllll...

He and Moton were the least of the problems with the line tonight.  Both starting guards and center were not very good, and that's being kind.

I've begged for years to draft a guard, center, and for either Little to work out or to finally find a good LT.

here's hoping Brown answers one of those.

Not as good as I'd like, especially on the interior.

Miller may have gotten benched.

He did Dennis Daley subbed for him and was a vast improvement 

[Fan01]

Paradis on rolling skates against 2nd string scares me.  Dude was pretty bad.

[Proudiddy]

Daley, Brown, and Christensen need to be out there.  Period.

[CPF4LIFE]

The chiefs are starting creed Humphrey and trey smith. I see no damn reason why Christensen and brown shouldn't be out there.

[pantherclaw]

Gotta give them time.

[DaveThePanther2008]

IMO Rhule and Co. were going with their hearts in this last preseason game.  I am hoping starting this week we put the best 5 out there.  

Move Moton to the LT, Daley beside him, Paradis (maybel Elflien)Brown and Christensen is who I would begin the week with. 

[TheSpecialJuan]

Even Taylor Moton was bad last night
