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.

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
