Meet Yesterday's Offensive Line


MHS831

Recommended Posts

LT:  When the former college C and professional backup G went down, we replaced him with Offensive G Daley. 

LG:  A good run blocker, Jordan is famous for being the guy in Cincinnati who whiffed on the block that led to the Burrow injury that ended his season in 2020--and he is named after a successful basketball player.

C:When Paradis went down with yet another injury, the Panthers resorted to a Baylor Bear who was not pursuing an NFL career until Rhule convinced him to join the Panthers.  A practice squad player turned active roster by default.  Remember, Elflein has experience at C and I think he was active. (not sure)

RG: A backup T.  So we had a G playing LT and a LT playing RG.  And everyone was OK with that?

RT:  Moton.

Any questions?

Elflein was inactive, but he will likely start at center when healthy. Where was Christenson yesterday?

Elfein was so bad.  The team that drafted him, cut him before he even finished his rookie deal despite having a bad OL.  
Then went to a terrible Jets OL.  And was so bad, they didn’t even attempt to resign him.

we made Him a priority day 1 FA signing

Christensen, who we were assured had been graded very highly, played a couple of snaps on special teams yesterday.

That's how bad we apparently are at assessing offensive line talent.

From the coach's room to the front office to the scouting department, Tepper has managed to put together one of the worst organizations in the NFL. We would be the Detroit Lions or the NY Jets if we didn't have some talent left over from the Rivera/Hurney drafts. 

I remember people laughing and pooing when I said if we didn't break five games this year that Rhule would be gone, contract or not. It not only doesn't sound unreasonable at this point, it sounds like a fuging good idea.

Based on our punt coverages I could imagine him being a gunner lol. Sure seemed like it sometimes.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
