Panthers shuffle O-Line

[pantherj]

I've been looking at some video of Williams and I think I see why he's ok at RT, but terrible at OG. He moves really well laterally and has some quickness, but he lacks power and has to give up a lot of ground. Lateral movement is more important at the OT postion because you're more out in space and often opposing DE's will try to use speed, and you can get away with less strength, but at OG power becomes more important. It's tough to get around Williams, but easier to bull rush him if the DE has the strength.

[Mr. Scot]

On the topic of OL, no offense to John Matsko, but I'd love to see former Eagles DC Juan Castillo brought aboard as a consultant or some such.

He may have been a poor fit at DC but I recall him being a pretty good OL coach.

Yep. That's the skill set difference I was referencing. Good call.

I've said before that Bell reminded me of Wharton who was a better guard than tackle.

I am optimistic this is a positive change that will get the run game going.

Bad move after bad move. Well at least we get the #2 pick this year.

one of the best oline coaches.

I never thought there would be a day where I would think Todd Steussie would do better than what we've got

I think it definitely can be. I worry that they'll continue to try being super-awesome-cute with the read option and it will lessen any impact it could have though. Doesn't really matter who they put where on the o-line if they can't call plays that have a chance to work.

i hope so.

[Brooklyn Bully]

It always works SO well moving around a line after they are attempting to gel. Yay!

[Tarheels23]

I was hoping for a move like this, but only to get Campbell on the field.

Ditto on getting Campbell on the field

[TheRed]

Campbell is either legally retarded or the staff doesn't trust him. Waste of a trade if he is always inactive.

[PantherPhann89]

Rivera must not like what he sees in Campbell...
