I wasn't against benching him when the next guy earned the spot....and I hope the next guy is ready.  

I was against deriding him every game when he did play.

Our OL play just has not been that bad... and when you compare it to how our opponent's OL looked.....

 

All fans deride their teams oline in some form or fashion.  It comes with the territory for those guys.

I think we knew that Elflein and Erving were injury prone and hopefully  have been planning for it.  Versatility and all that jazz.    

Well they had to get someone in those slots to hold it down until a better option presents itself.  The cupboard is bare around the league for long term solutions so its take what you can get in FA and hope your draft picks work out.

Rinse and repeat until you can get enough of a competent line together that you can keep your qb upright long enough to run your offense.

True.  But I've been spending time on the other teams forums.  We are one of the worst on this.   Here, its a drum beat with repetitive "Can he play LT" posts and thread after thread on the lineman we should have drafted or photo play by play shots of our linemen missing blocks and thier pff scores.  Even after wins, we are horrible.  Go visit em.  If we aren't the worst, we are one of the worst.  We use the words the "garbage" and "trash" to describe our line.  You can say other boards do it to our scale, its just not true.   

Daley has some shield from it here for whatever reason, so I expect our sights to turn to Erving, but we'll see.

I agree.

It's early, give it time and it will be league wide on the losing teams.

We are just so use to the oline letting us down that we've come to expect it.

The huddle seems to like him.  His first year did not look great.  Last  year he was injured.  Against the jets, Paradis helped him a lot. 

His rookie year 2019 57.7PFF on 686 snaps,  2020 64.7 on 135 snaps and  47.9 PFF so far this year.

He'll move the left side where he's more comfortable.  Hopefully he's ready.



 

 

He was downright lousy last week

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
