Pro-bowl? Really? Man, I hope you're right, but I'm thinking that's just a wee bit too early to call at this point.

Mainly worried though.. I expected rookie bad, but not exactly that rookie bad.

Not just one Pro Bowl but 12 of them starting his rookie year, and this predication was made 10 minutes after the pick. The best thing is not to argue with him and just bump the post after reality has argued with him.

Why our rookie OG from a DII school couldn't dominant premier DT Gerald McCoy in his first game is unacceptable to me.

Please explain to me why we consistently go into seasons relying on vastly outmatched rookies at critical positions. Last year everyone was making excuses for Fua and McClain because they were rookies. Guess what, it doesn't matter if he is a rookie or not. We don't get bonus points because our roster is outmatched. If a rookie isn't ready to start, fine, that's understandable, but you have to put your players in a position to succeed. You can't start him anyway, get terrible play causing your football team to be worse, then shrug your shoulders and blow it off with a "He's a rookie".

We shouldn't be tearing down Silatolu, we should be tearing down the people who drafted him and shoved him into the starting lineup unprepared. The same people who went into last season with mid round rookies manning the middle of our defensive line and have been relying on munnerlyn to stop starting WRs for far too long. It's not unreasonable to question if the men in charge have any idea what they are doing.

Making excuses because Gerald McCoy is "too good" is the kind of thing that someone with a losing mentality might do. This is professional football where you play against the best in the world every week. Giving someone a pass because their opponent is "good" is ridiculous. Either you man up and do a respectable job or not. Silatolu was not respectable at all yesterday. Hangartner sucked too but that's another thread.

Since I adopted Amini I will give you his play from the game:

First Qtr:

1 pull

no missed blocks

looked great

Second Qtr:

@12:35 he whiffed on a block and Cam was sacked. Kahlil also whiffed the other DT, 3 Bucs in backfield before Cam could turn around. It was an overload blitz, but the whiffs didnt help.

@2:34 McCoy bull rushed and almost got the sack on Cam

@2:00 False start, but the whole line moved could have called it on anyone.

3rd Qtr:

1 pull

@9:00 (LaFell's TD) made good contact with McCoy, but McCoy under cut him and was a free runner at Cam.

@5:55 (Ronde's INT) that was Amini diving at Ronde that far down field.

@:30 Holding on a big run by Cam. Bad form from Amini

4th Qtr:

2 pulls

@7:45 McCoy sack on Cam. Made good initial contact but McCoy gets off the block same as the 3rd Qtr

@3:25 Beaten bad by #71 with a swim move

All in all not a bad start for a DII rookie lineman. He didnt look lost, got beat a couple times. 2 of his 4 pulls were on passing plays. With him pulling and a FB our running game can blast people.

Update your sig accordingly.

Edit: Nevermind. You must have updated it right as I posted that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
