If he’s LT I definitely want to trade down.  I’m not very high on any of these QBs, but I have a nauseating feeling it’s going to be Pickett

I noticed Fitt immediately jumped into BC’s versatility mentioning he can play LG or even RG if needed. That makes me think he is considering LTs in this draft. I’m personally not sure how good BC would be at LG, but he looked solid at LT. We could run Cross, BC, FA/later pick, Brown, Moton and have a solid young line.

I think Christensen can hold down the LT spot and get better the more he plays.  Take a C or even a G and you have Moton, Brown, Drafted C, Drafted G (or FA), and Christensen and let them play together and be a cohesive unit.

 

I would say go after the best center in free agency--I think they are looking to Brown to take the Miller spot at RG.  With BC as a developing LT, we could be closer than we think.  If we plan to start BC and DBrown, I would focus on some free agent veterans or we could have another disaster.  Erv and Elf need to go.

I’m really high on Cross, so if we move BC to guard and go that way, I’d be totally fine with it.  The more good pieces on OL the better.  Not getting my hopes up that whoever we draft is actually gonna get playing time, though

Hopefully our new OC will get some input on playing time…

Might be me reading too much into it but I feel like his choice of words, "A lot of people say..." when talking about the arm length was quite interesting. Specifically because that's exactly what Rhule said and Fitt negated it.

Definitely caught this too. Lowkey confirmed that passing on Slater was Rhule's call. 

I'll give the front office this much: Someone said Tepper reads the huddle and other fan sites and I absolutely believe that. Fitt and Rhule appear aware of all the criticism being tossed their way and the timing of the decisions lately seem like they're in direct response.  Having fun imagining Tepper calling Rhule into his office to watch a slideshow of huddle hate.

I agree going with Moton, Brown, and Christensen we may not be far off from a better line.

Why did we ever sign Erving and Elflein to 2 year contracts?  I guess they can be scrub backups.

Paradis's contract was restructured so even though he's done, his contract is the gift that keeps on giving.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
