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.

      ESPN: "Future" Power Rankings

      I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this.

      Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
