So we now have 2 credible NFL starting OL

We have an unproven 26-year old LG (hopefully) in Christensen.

A marginal C (Elflein) who might play better between 2 solid Guards.

So maybe, just maybe--a LT or LG is all we need.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Brady is a tackle. I don’t give a poo about arm length and Rhule shouldn’t either

Yeah, he should've been the starter at day one at LG, then kicked out to tackle the second Irving got injured the first time. I was hoping that was the plan originally and I think a lot of people were hoping that was how they'd work him into the lineup.

Elflein is horrible at center. If he is there, everything falls apart.

Hoping they are going with...

BC(LT)-Elflein(LG)-Linderbaum(C)-Corbett(RG)-Moton(RT)

Elflein is still a liability at guard, but the OL can win with him at guard or draft one of many guards who will be an improvement. Keeping Elflein and then signing Corbett is extremely confusing. Why put a good guard next to a weak center?

It's the other way round I'm afraid.

You can win with him at C. He's horrible at G - he's just too small.

I honestly think if he were an inch taller and 15lbs heavier the dude would be a good player all around.

Size isn't going to make him better. Skill, technique and drive will.

That's your inner Matt Rhule talking with the 1 inch and 15 lbs stuff.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
