For all the offseason upgrades on the OL, what has changed?

Honestly, you can say this about every unit and every single aspect of this team today.  Literally nothing has changed.

But I focus on the OL, because supposedly that was our biggest, glaring weakness holding us back.  And yet, here we are...  again.  And funny enough, Ickey and BC are holding it down onnthe left, it's the vets that are fuging up.  From what I've seen, it's from Elf, Corbett, and Moton...  and this signifies two things.

1) This is why you don't bullshit around and rotate guys in and out to look like you're a football coach all offseason.  They can develop chemistry or continuity, which is more important with an OL than prolly any other unit on a football team.

And

2) Notice the same patterns reoccurring, as I mentioned in the opening paragraph, across all positions and phases of our team.  It's not a player.  It's not the personnel.  It's not the assistants.  It's Rhule.  This team is soft, undisciplined, misguided, unaccountable, and half-assed in all they do.  So it doesn't matter who you bring in, coach or player.  It's clear it's Rhule that is the final word and that's why we're seeing upgraded positional ģroups looking like a worse version of the shitshow we saw last season.  It's why Baker looked the worst he has ever looked in his pro career for that first quarter and a half.  It's why a renowned playcaller like McAdoo, who all-world Aaron Rodgers oogles over, all the sudden looks no different than inexperienced Joe Brady.  It's why despite bringing in a helluva coach in Steve Wilks, that we have guys like Henderson making one of the worst, most inexcusable interference calls ever seen in all the history of pro football.  

It's Rhule.  Plain and simple.

We have a OL built for power running with PA. They are trying to be cute and run finesse pass plays that we dont have the OL to block for. 

Any idiot would know they needed a heavy dose of CMC and Foreman to soften them up before dropping some bombs in PA. 

However we dont have just any idiot on our coaching staff, we have Rhule and his group of yes men.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
