Panthers use the Schwartz and they're impressed

Sometimes change can be good, especially when it means going from backup to a potential starter.

That’s one of the reasons second-year offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz is excited the Carolina Panthers are giving him a look at right guard, even though it’s a position he’s not all that familiar with.

At 6-foot-6 and 331 pounds, Schwartz’s build fits that of an offensive tackle.

“There are some teams with big guys,” Schwartz said. “It’s not common, but it’s not unheard of. If I’m able to play guard that is even better for me because it makes me more valuable.”

He's in the competition.

He was supposed to be really good coming out of college. And this offseason he should've been the #1 choice to replace Vincent. Instead they have a undrafted guard and have to bring in a backup RT as competition for the RG spot and you hear more about those 2 than Duke because evidently he hasnt been as impressive as he should be.

I hope magazu doesn't get snarch up a coordinator position or anything.

This is why year in and year out our O-Line is one of the best in the league. We have solid starters and versatile backups all due to Dave Magazu.

I think Mackensy got the nod over Robinson b/c he had been with the team one season prior and Robinson wasn't ready. I do believe Robinson is starting material but he isn't the best backup we got.

If you were watching last year, Schwartz really didn't do that good of job at RT last year. He missed a lot of blocks and got a lot of help from TE's, interior linemen and backs.

He didn't implode, but he certainly didn't shine. If Jake had been back there, it would have been more disaster.

Schwartz played so well at tackle that he may have played his way out of a starting guard position... we need to hold him in reserve as backup tackle, it would be a shame to see him get hurt as the starting guard and then have one (or both) of our tackles go down again.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
