Everyone knows Ryan is one of the best centers in the game, but one thing I don't recall being mentioned is how well he has snapped the ball in the shotgun. Not only has his placement been excellent, he gets the ball to Cam with plenty of pace. The sooner Cam gets the ball, the sooner he can begin his reads. This is important when they are taking what seems like 75% of the snaps in the gun. (75% is just a total guess on my part.)

I don't remember who it was, but someone other than Kalil was playing center in the preseason and ball just floated back to Cam when they were in the shotgun. It seemed like the D-Line was able to take 2 steps before the ball even reached him.

We are lucky to have Ryan.

Im not really for taken a OL, but i wouldnt be mad at all about adding his brother to the line in the draft as well. Would be sick.

yea especially since his brother is a big time player. I doubt we will be picking that low but I would love it if we did. Move Jordan back over to the right side, best o line in football

I notice they corrected the low snaps by letting the Hangman look back at Cam and tap Kalil when he's ready for the ball.

I was going to say was it against the Lions or maybe earlier, there was a game where it seemed every single shotgun snap was really low. I'm glad it got corrected.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
