My goodness.  I just don't understand how Bama's offensive lines stay so dominant and then when these guys get to the pros they look like this???  Like wtf is going on.  Just big for no fuging reason.  He plays like he's 145 lbs., not 445 lbs.

And Evan Neal not looking good in New York either. Strange. No more Bama olineman.  Their players in general are overrated.

I decided to look at Neal and see what's wrong because he was so good in college. Found the problem. The DEs he's going against are grabbing his jersey and pulling on it to throw him off balance or throw him on the ground. He is not used to that and defensive holding is not being called, so it's the tricks of the trade that are getting him.

I watched him--he will be cut.

Not sure if this has been a thing on here yet, but Cade Mays was at C, and he looked good from what I could tell.  Had a high snap, but we all snap high once in a while.  I know I do.

Mays will work his way onto the starting o-line, he’s that good.

he was a sixth rounder...we took a flier that didnt work out...bye.

We caught Brown in the sixth round; dude was plunging like a rock.  He likely would have went undrafted. We love caching falling prospects in a draft and think we got a value.  Does the name Greg Little ring a bell? Likewise I remember people here butthurt last year when he wasn't given a "fair chance" at earning a spot in the starting lineup.  It's not rocket science to surmise if a player couldn't crack the starting lineup on the 2021 Panthers OL, they probably suck.  Brown got blown up on numerous plays last night, not just the one that Corral got hurt on.

Didn't this place bitch for an entire season about Brown not playing? Now, what was the point of all that bitching and crying?

Probably could have been helpful to get a better idea of what we had in the young draft pick when we knew our season was officially lost and we were relegated to evaluating the bottom of our roster. But yeah let's stick it to the fans and not the inept coaching staff.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
