How did Elflein look at center?

Any idea why Brady isn't getting any run right now?  Daley had two holding calls and a false start yesterday, really killed the momentum on a few drives.

A) that was a phantom hold.  DT fell down.

B) he let that bad call beat him on the next snap.

He sucks, don’t get me wrong. But that hold was not a hold.

Meeeehhhhh,  I’m not so sure.  His pff grades were decent but that doesn’t calculate his calls. I don’t think he could make the right protection calls.  He has the physical ability, but the protections always looked off.

It has to be Paradis' calls. And it would happen often where the D would blitz and o-lineman would be standing around without anyone to block.

The o line as a whole played their best game of the season yesterday.  Honestly I think Sam was just bringing the entire vibe of the offense down, from Brady all the way down.  Its not a coincidence that the line, and the offense in general had their best game of the season as soon as Sam is gone. Enthusiasm is contagious, but so is shittiness.

What a nice thought that we do not have to find a C in free agency or the draft (a starter would take the first rounder, imo).

This draft will have the best center prospect in a long time in it. It might be time to spend that first on Linderbaum if he is there will the Panthers pick.

Paradis was looking good prior to injury, as well. I think it is largely due to the play of His Airness and Trent Scott. They have made the center look better by not sucking so hard at OG.

TBH, OG has been a much bigger issue than C all year. MJ has added some nastiness to that OL.

I disagree with the Paradis thing but I agree guard play has been competent and better..

I said in another thread yesterday that it seemed like Ef seemed much more confident and vocal about calling out protections - I can't remember Paradis being so loud and animated - Ef looked like a leader.

He was shaky to start because he was jacked. Once he settled, the middle of the line was pretty strong.

Paradis never needs to see the field at center again for the Panthers. Period.

He's a free agent after the year, right?

Paradis has never looked good as a Panther.

I thought they'd signed Elflein as a C - I'm glad he's finally fallen into that role. He's not big enough to be a G.

I think Rhule mentioned yesterday that Brady did come in for a little bit

Per the snap counts looks like Brady was on the field for 13, which was 17% of the total offensive snaps. Considering that no one seems to have noticed and we didn't hear his name I'm going to say he did OK.

we better hope Elf is better at C because Paradis will never play another snap here and Elf has 2 years left on his contract after this season.  What a nice thought that we do not have to find a C in free agency or the draft (a starter would take the first rounder, imo).

And if Cam is decent to good, we can finally use the #1 pick on a LT. 

Bingo!  If Elf can solidify the center spot, we have 2-of-5 spots settled and can focus on the other three.  BC needs to beef up. I'm not giving up on him yet, not as a guard.  I'm not sure he's going make it as a franchise LT, maybe as a backup LT.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
