I think Icky getting beat on two stunts basically back to back is making people lose perspective. He and BC had a pretty good night otherwise.

sure I agree, but at least early on there will be times when they struggle, whether that is a difference in a w or L I dont know but for now its not buttoned up to where it needs to be

Yeah, there's definitely going to be struggles but I think that putting Icky at guard and BC at tackle for the year as many are suggesting is just a terrible idea. It's hampering both of their progressions on the places that they're ultimately going to play. Icky needs to play LT and BC at LG and just let them learn together and build. It's not going to be beautiful in game one I'm sure but it'll definitely improve.

The game was setting up to be exactly what it was

Patriots were playing all their starters into the 2nd qtr. Not only did we not play any of our starters but we held out 30 players What did you expect was gonna happen 

We’ve reached an inflection point where Juan’s posts are more coherent and contain better content than our fave mod, LG. poo is getting wild on the huddle.

Just got a chance to watch the game, and it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it might be. It wasn't exactly stellar or pretty either, but for being our next level down against their starters for 2 Qs, we actually did decently well overall. It wasn't until Q4 that we started to look mostly incompetent, and I blame that mainly on our 4th string OL being manhandled (outside of Mays, 3rd string too really). So, I was okay with the results myself.

 

I also just read the last ten pages or so of this thread, and I have to say, you guys are awesome for making me laugh so hard. The sheer amount of overreaction to a friggin' glorified scrimmage is priceless.

Did the bottom of the roster look bad against a higher tier? Sure did.

Are most of those guys going to be here in a few weeks? Nope, not likely.

Of the ones that do remain, can they still get better by season's end by practicing throughout? Of course!

So, relax.. worst case scenario is we stink the joint up again and there's an even higher probability that Rhule gets fired than ever before. Best case, we look good and make the playoffs and maybe beyond. Either way, we as fans have a good chance of being happier by next year, so getting bent out of shape now (again.. preseason) is a bit premature and a tad foolish. Let's just see how this plays out before jumping off a bridge or something - still way too early for that sky to be falling.

This might sound dumb, but I want to see Darnold in the next game. PJ was bad. Real bad. Worse than I remember. Also, Corral does not need to play anytime soon.

I dont disagree about darnold but totally disagree with you about corral.  Thats how players get better, you know by practicing and playing.  He had like 2 really really bad throws last night and a few more off the mark.  He needs a ton more work and he will not get that on the IR or being 4rth string.

Play Baker a few series next week, roll SD for a few and then just give the rest to MC.

 

Thats of course if he is not seriously injured

I agree he does not need to be IR'd for the year. If he goes on season ending IR, his NFL career could be done. He needs practice reps for sure. I will say, Corral did look better in the 2nd than the 4th quarter. I think the 2nd string oline is quite a bit better than the 3rd and 4th string. But even early he couldn't string a full drive together.

Rewatching now. I agree with the people that are interested in switching Ickey and BC. BC would be better in pass pro at this moment, he's never going to be a road grader in the run and it's not ideal for our RB's to cut all the way outside the left tackle. Kills the RB's momentum and will usually have a CB waiting for them. You want the left or right side interior to open a gap that's an instant 4-5 yards running downhill. Ickey can clear that path now while he works on the nuance of pass pro. Of course Rhule didn't give them any reps in that combo and declared Ickey the LT off of a subpar week 1 performance and he'll look like a dumbass for walking that statement back so he won't even entertain the idea

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
