Panthers close to deal with G Austin Corbett

[hepcat]

Just make sure he wears his magic underwear and we should be all good to go

[MHS831]

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.

Former 2nd round pick, just 26 years old. Depending on the #s I like the signing.

Nearly a first round pick---#33 overall.

Elflein was much better at center than guard. actually the Oline seemed to gel a bit while he was there but of course rhule went back to his pre season lineup

This is the correct assessment

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

I dig it. If the Panthers somehow still sign Bozeman to be the starter at C I'm real excited.

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.

Apologies if this has been posted

I'm wet by this run blocking OG play. That's how down bad we are

[ImaginaryKev]

Oh yeah daddy give it to me

He can move, and there are some cool interview things on YouTube.

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.
