This is all just so Rivera can prove a point and people buy what he is selling. There is no way Bell starts if Otah is healthy come September.

Rivera is a provide it to me guy. Its not for show, the spot is Bells to lose.

Byron was our starting RT last season. Why does it surprise everyone that it's Bell's spot to lose?

I think the fact that Otah looks like an All Pro when on the field and Bell looks in over his head might have something to do with it.....

But Rivera is just doing his status quo thing. Otah will start. Just like there was no doubt Cam would start despite the competition that was portrayed

Byron had a few games where he looked distinctly average and on occasion decent, so considering most players make improvements from their rookie season he may be a completely different player coming into 2012. That said, he was our worst performing OLine player in both the run and passing game and picked up by far the most penalties.

It should be noted though that Otah wasn't any better in pass protection.

However over the last four games Bell gave up 5 pressures, 2 hits and 0 sacks, with only 2 penalties, showing marked improvement from the mid part of his season.

All pro is pushing it. He looks very good in the run game, but is no better at pass blocking than Bell.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
