Mentioned by the same idiot who said we're switching to a 3-4 defense, even though both our GM and head coach have said otherwise about our LT situation.

Translation: don't hold your breath. Silatolu will likely start at LG (with competition from Pollak he's expected to win), since he's, you know, listed as a guard on the Panthers website roster.

Seems like you missed the video that showed why we drafted Amini. He is a quick and elusive wrecking ball that will be needed to pull and run. The only pull and run Otah was capable of was stealing a biscuit from Bojangles. Amini will stay at LG.

The only people that actually know poo about the Panthers are people that cover the Panthers (Gantt, Person, Reed etc). ESPN and NFL analysts just speculate about teams like the Panthers because they don't feel like putting in the time and research to get the facts straight because they aren't the Cowboys, Patriots, Giants etc...

Amini was a tackle in college but he was used as a run-game pulling tackle. He was allowed to get out into space to bust people in the mouth and create downfield holes for their running game. Our run game uses pulling guards A LOT, which is why the FO fell in love with him. That's his skill set - he'll play guard for us.

The only way that Amini get's stuck out on T is if we have a streak of injuries at the position.

Byron Bell is our starting right tackle, folks. Deal with it.

You should give him more credit. He anchored one of the top rushing teams in the NFL last season as an undrafted rookie. He wasn't perfect but he has now had a full season of game experience to learn from.

Oh, I agree with you. I'm a fan of Bell. I was directing that at all the folks who seem to think it's the end of the world that we have to start the same guy who started most of last season when we were one of the best offenses in football.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
