Frank Omaliyia

Does someone have some tape of his play today.

Twice he has gone in this season at LT, and twice I didn't notice it because of poor play.

This is fascinating to me, for if he is a viable Left Tackle player, our options with Jordan go from ok to very interesting.

Please advise.

Frank comes in the KC game and nary a whisper of a sack on Delhomme all game. He comes in at a moments notice and blocks some decent DEs and I did not even know he was in.

I think as a strategy....maybe Gross could be the most expendable one of our free agent trio. I am in no way saying Omaliyia is a pro bowl LT like Gross but the dropoff may not be as bad as losing Peppers and having Brayton as the other DE.

Moving Gross makes more sense because he's more versatile. Omiyale has likely only practiced at that spot.

Can't say I watched him specifically, but on memory I can't recall any specific collapses or bad plays that came from his side. The push upfield was nowhere near the same without Otah on the field, but that's to be expected.

Ask Antonio Gates and Ladanian Tomlinson how a little toe booboo affects your play.....they have not been the same since 2006.

Luckily, they are skill position players and rely more on route running and quick cuts that put greater pressure on the toe. Shouldn't be quite as hard for a big ugly. Let's just hope the 13 days off gives him some time to recover.

You still have to able to fire out, back-pedal, slide, mirror, plant and position for leverage.

They don't have to move as fast as skill players, but their toes are supporting a lot more weight.

    • Yeah. Probably will be close. I am not rooting for anyone don’t really care that much.   Same for the AFC game, don’t really care. Except it is Sean Payton, I always like it when he loses.  But it’s New England, I can’t root for them. It’s going to be 23 degrees at kickoff in Denver, wind will 12-15mph, dropping to 13 degrees by 7pm with snow predicted to start before halftime. 
    • Most people will agree with this in principle. But it's situational and also depends on the results you're getting. We were middle of the league in sacks given up. Had the 27th passing offense. And if a few instances that went our way turned out differently we very likely could have been staring at another 5 win season. For the highest salary cap percentage to the OL in the entire league. While we had basically nothing at linebacker and not much at all consistent pass rush to speak of as we were leaning on two rookies. And despite all that our defense which has been on a lopsided end of investment compared to the offense managed to go from league worst and giving up historic single season points in 2024 to middle of the league in 2025 which is quite impressive all things considered. So yes the investment in the OL versus the results certainly matters or at least to should to anyone that would like to continue to improve and also maybe finally win another playoff game.
    • Still think that if Carson Beck is there on Day 3 you have to take him. QB depth in drafts has been atrocious as of late but what he is good at translates very well to what the Panthers need a QB to do.
