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."

Thanks for clarifying.  So, I was right in that it must've been with the twos because he was running Elf with the 1s from most reports throughout camp.  So on one hand, yeah, it makes sense that they had Boze and Baker working almost exclusively together even if it was with the 2s to begin with, but it still frustrates me because the OL needs reps together, as a unit.  So if Bozeman was gonna be the guy, he should've been in there with BC and Ickey.  So, if that's because of that fake Asa QB competition, I think the complaint is still valid.  It was a dumb way to arrive to the ultimate outcome.

TMJ doesn’t seem like he’s ever going to stay healthy enough and on the field long enough to contribute in a meaningful way. It may be time to thank him for his efforts and send him on his merry way to whatever is next for him. Which is likely the XFL.

0% chance. Second round pick one year ago who hasn’t played a down yet for a real OC.

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. 

I feel the pain brother, this was just like the other "earn you spot/battles " going on........ I take up for rhule cause its a full on hate fest, but he makes it hard pulling this silly college BS. Even Jordan Gross was asked about how to handle Ickey, quote- "Put him in there one day. PERIOD." I hated the Elf signing, but waited to see how he was used......still piss poor. Boze is just my type of OLmen and hes a clearly levels up from Elf.....  Why the games??? 
This is the fuging professional NFL...

Yeah. Everyone knew who the best QB and C were at the start of Wofford.  They lost work because Rhule going to do Rhule things.  

it’s lost work for no reason.  And yeah, Baker and Bozeman had some work.   But they didn’t get the work actual starters would be repping.  Just like Bozeman wasn’t working the whole time beside the starting Gs, Baker getting starter reps with his WR, etc.

How dare Jordan Gross question Matt Rhule on his competitions.   Gross just another irrational Rhule hater it seems.

I really like Higgins - he is such a happy guy. Even watching his personal vlog on when he signed his contract with us was awesome.

I think Higgins should get a lot of reps when the season starts.  That build in chemistry with Baker likely will be useful.  Not sure if he will but I’d like to see it.

Marcellus Wiley said that Ickey should have to earn the starting job during the OTAs. Every pro has a different opinion. I agree with Gross though.

Im curious how often we will have 4 WR  sets. It will most likely be rotational plays that we see Higgins. I dont have much isnight into McAdoo's "modern offensive" plan. I hear that he actually had a footprint in the Cowboys game plans last year.

Same deal with Robbie being out this week, only has half the reps he really needed with Baker for the first 3 weeks of camp. Now we're going to be cramming last minute to get pretty much the whole offense ready for week 1

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      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.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      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.
