I get that with certain positions, for example, Darnold and Mayfield were both ass last year so make one of them earn it.

Bozeman on the other hand was milessssss better than any of the guards or centers on our roster last year.

I’m sure he will be here too once he learns the concepts and builds time with the coaches and others on the line. 

You get valuable experience on the second unit too.

He’s not on the second unit though, they have him running a lot with first team LG.

A lot of mixing and matching going on right now.

Bozeman at first team LG then second team C, guys are all over the place right now.

Elflein still appears to be running as 1C in drills, doesn’t make sense. Bozeman was an above average center last year with the Ravens and is somehow behind Elflein.

It would only make sense if the Panthers truly believe that Christensen can’t play guard and are forced to put Bozeman there.

If Darnold isn't going to be the QB1 but Baker has to take reps with the 2s for the sake of appearances, then you put the new C1 with the twos also. Now both Baker and Bozeman can be said to have "won" their spots as starters during practice AND got meaningful reps together to get their exchange down.

Good points. Likely all about just trying to find the best 5 and encourage interchangeability and understanding each other’s roles.

OL play in the NFL has a lot to do with chemistry between the lineman.   Playing next to guys and learning how the guy next to you handles things.  

No reason for him to not be at center.   It’s college coach Rhule showing himself.   Same with the QB “competition”.  In the end end he is just robbing guys of reps they need.   Both guys are new and can use all the starting look reps they can get  with the starters.

That’s not the case though, they keep switching QB’s while leaving the lines in tact. In reality neither the OL or QB’s are building continuity. It’s a hodgepodge right now.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By hepcat · Posted

      Nijman is actually one of the better free agent left tackles available in free agency and he will get a chance to start next year. He will get a raise and likely be re-signed. Christensen backs him up and they should sign another veteran tackle and/or draft a 2nd or 3rd round tackle as well. Zavala and Corbett need to go so they should also draft a guard. I’ve suggested they should trade down in the first round to accumulate more picks for depth they are going to need a lot of going forward.

      Evero and the pass rush

      Princely overall PFF was 47 compared to Scourton’s 68.   Not everything shows  up in the stats.

      If you account for the discrepancy in snap counts, then Princely and Scourton actually had pretty similar production. Scourton: 717 snaps (68%) 47 tackles (7 TFL) 5 sacks 15 pressures 1 FF Princely: 222 snaps (22%)  24 tackles (2 TFL) 1.5 sacks 5 pressures 1 FF, 1 FR I think Scourton was simply given more opportunities to flash.  Then it goes to a more abstract argument of why Princely was not given more playing time.  But then we'd be blindly giving credence to the same guy who not only drafted DJ Johnson, but was happy to waste a roster spot and snaps on the guy for 2 seasons and some change.
