but walter jones was an amazing athlete in his time. i'm hoping jeff otah grows up to be just like him... but without the injuries.

amazing athlete is an understatement man. check out this stat:

"On 5,703 pass attempts over 13 seasons, according to coaches stats, Walter Jones was called for holding 9 times and surrendered 23 sacks."

He is one of, if not the greatest left tackle of all time.

Let's hope that another LT is known for being that great.

Its amazing how a great o-line can make an average back like Alexander look like a pro bowl running back.

So true...Starts in the trenches, bruh.

I think Alexander was pretty good in his own right.

What happened in a year? I thought so too but he went from dormant to dominant to doormat in no time flat.

yeah I had a chance to go to the 05 NFC champ, and I'm glad I didn't I would have winded up paying $400 for a ticket to see us get badly beat, but its a little better we were in the super bowl 2 years before, if it weren't for that fact, think about how much more the memory of this game would haunt us

Walter Jones was all over sports radio up here today, they are even calling it Walter Jones Day etc... but the interviews were cool, the reporter state that Holmgren called Jones the best player he ever coached, and that's impressive, it would great if Otah got as good as Jones, but Otah is already just as good in the run game Jones seemed like the type that his pass protection is what stood out the most, they said today he only gave up 23 sacks I believe it was in 13 years in the NFL, and only got a holding penalty once every 20 games

      Dane Brugler from The Athletic 2-round cock draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.

      Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?

      Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
