You know, I hate to bitch and moan seemingly every practice thread, but again, it is just frustrating to see all of this concern for Bozeman now from our media guys.  Now obviously, I never want any of our guys injured, and we definitely want and need Bozeman back asap,so I hope he gets healthy quickly...  but I find it another example of an ongoing pattern that we discussed yesterday when it comes to Rhule.  Everyone was banging on the table for Bozeman to get reps as the starring center and wondering why he was still wasting time and reps on Elf.  He continued to play Elf.  Now, Bozeman is injured, and it's like the staff and media have all become lockstep in their concern for getting Bozeman back, seemingly signaling that it is his job when healthy.  It's mind boggling.  If that is the case, aside should have been from day 1 of camp, AGAIN, WHY TF WAS HE NOT GETTING THE STARTER REPS TO BEGIN WITH????  

This poo happens every year with Rhule and it is just maddening.  If you planned for him to be the guy, why did you waste time that couldve been spent building chemistry and continuity??  Idc if they lessened his role this year, Rhule really is a fuging idiot.  And it just sucks feeling like even if we win, we lose because it buys more time for said idiot.  I believe people can learn and change at any point in their lives, but they have to want to, and it's like he has learned absolutely nothing.

im not here to debate or ignite a fight. However, it was reported many times that Bozeman was the center that Baker took most of his snaps from before Bozeman went down with an injury. I believe this is a contributing factor to the bobbled snaps right now with Elf.

I didnt recall hearing that.  Maybe while Baker was working with the second team, because throughout camp, Rhule ran Elf as the starring center for the majority of it from what I recall.

But no issue on my end.  I'm just speaking from what I've seen reported.  If you have info that counters that, I'm all for it.

it was an ongoing discussion on this forum during the practice threads. There were photos to reinforce the conversations as well. Bozeman and Baker spent a lot of time together. Someone on here nailed it when they said that they felt it was intentional that baker and bozeman were with the twos to get used to each other while SD played with Elf.  The injury put a kink in the plans for bozeman to start.  I would assume Bozeman would have been the starting center at the same time we put ickey at LT and BC at LG, but the injury occurred.

 

edit: listening to the presser with rhule and he just said "Bozeman was the guy we intended to start at Center."

I'm guessing this is for our "starting" slot WR spot not outside opposite DJ, although from what I've seen he is making a real push to start across from DJ over Robbie in 2 wideout sets. He's been really good this offseason.

No, the fact that he wasn't primarily running as the 1.  Then he got hurt, and now he and the bought and paid for Panthers media are all now sharing this urgency that we need him back bc he's the 1.  My point is, why was he not running with the 1s the whole camp and preseason, as he should've been.  Because now he's lost another week to three weeks to injury in addition to all of the reps he lost while healthy to that bum Elf.  And for what?  Rhule just loves playing these little games like it's something of significance or he's falling someone.  It's the same garbage he did with Baker and the QB comp, and the crap he did with Moton and the OL last preseason and camp.  It's just stupid.  It serves no purpose and all it does is hurt the team by not playing the guys where they should be to build chemistry with who they will be on the field with when it matters.

Nice to know he's not on the bubble. Higgins should be a lock too, but no mention of him today good or bad

But it was already said they were switching due to each QB getting comfortable with a Center.. Instaed of switching for chemistry purposes..

And a question is why isn't Campen catching any of this grief when it comes to Oline decision??

    • I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
