They say he’s ahead of schedule but I’m still thinking week 6-8ish. Texans game after the bye makes sense 

In corbetts presser earlier this week he made it sound like he will be ready by end of pup - thinks he can play sooner but it’s up to the front office

They sounded optimistic about Zavala as well. Believe they said he could be available for some preseason action.

The offensive line has 5 starters at any given time--more than any other position group, but you really need 7-8 that are starting quality.  Personally, i do not think BC is a LG, but is perfect to be a swing OT for 2023 and could replace Moton in 2024 when his contract explodes to $30m.  I seriously think Zavala and Corbett will be the starting guards for most of the season.  Mays is an ideal backup at C and both G spots, as is Jensen.  If they all work out--that is eight players with starting ability--problem is, they do not have the starting ability right now (injury, experience). 

Backups for 2023:  Christensen (eventually--not right now), Mays, and Jensen.

Starters for 2023 (later in the season):  Ikwonu, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton.

Guard is not our only problem.  Tackles looked terrible last game as well.  

Zero concerns on tackle, those 2 are proven 1 preseason game means nothing for them. Now the swing tackle/backup is an issue but hopefully they never see the field

I could get on board with that.

I feel like it's always worth mentioning when we're talking O-Line that as a position group, chemistry / continuity matters probably more than it does anywhere else on the field. You could argue secondary is up there too but I think the line is where it matters most.

Keeping that group together was a big part of what made us successful last year. Here's hoping the same applies to this season as well.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
