OL

LOL if you guys are calling the Bucs a "very good d-line" wait till we play the Giants in two weeks. JPP is going to be creaming his pants

can't wait to see this same OLine go up against Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, Linval Joseph, Marvin Austin and Rocky Bernard

what fun

Well, I think our OL gets off to a slow start every year, as evidenced by the run production week to week. But, I don't know that their DL is that good just yet. A lot of the problems we had were with the extra blitzers and not so much the DL, at least from what I saw.

I was just gonna mention this...the fact that almost every year we start off very poorly running the ball...give it time, the run game and pass pro will get better.

don't worry about him; I'm pretty sure three dachshunds could stop his ass (resentful UNC fan)

Why is it we have to always start off slow? Other teams play well out of the gates, yet we continuously suck in one or more aspects of our game every stinking year. They get paid to play a sport... do I get to have a few warm up tries when doing my workload? No, I'm paid to do it right the first and every time... these guys are too, and should start acting like it.

Please don't take that as an attack on you, or be offended - totally not my intention. It's just the results of our start of season the past 9 years running have me sick to death of our "out of the gates mediocrity," especially when we have the talent to be so much more than what we've shown over that span. So frustrated.

good job OLine

What bothers me about this play is again, it looks like they knew what we were doing before the play. Look at how quick the NT jumps the snap. And there was never any hesitation on their part. The OL played horribly the entire day, but there is something very suspect about plays like this... I've never seen a team completely obliterate the option and come upfield like that against us.

^^This^^....You'd think Cam , when seeing the Bucs load up 8 in the box, he'd audible out into shotgun. I mean Cam's a beast, but even he can't juke 8 down linemen when his O line lays down. Oh to be a fly on the wall of the O line meeting room this week.

Gerald McCoy was absolutely kicking our interior OL's ass.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
    • If hypothetically, Ickey comes fully healthy, would he be willing to give up left tackle money for left guard money? In the Panthers case, moving Ickey LG or RT would be in our best interest and as it gives us our best starting offensive lineman combination. However, Im sure there's another team that would be desperate and willing to dish out top dollars for Ickey to have him come play left tackle for them. In that case, Ickey would just leave for that team instead.
