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.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
