the growth of silatolu...

Loved to dude before the draft last year.

The man will be great. One of the most aggressive college prospect I've seen the last couple of years.

it's the overcompensating for any player that takes place.

 

they may say they are confident in their recovery and that they are healed up, but the truth remains that 1) the injured part is likely not quite totally healed and may still be weaker and 2) that they will have in the back of their minds that they have to protect that injured area and cause the muscle groups around it to work harder and that can lead to trouble.

 

the body healing is just one aspect of it. injuries are almost as much mental as they are physical. it effects how you function.

 

Yep I get all that...Kalil is just one of my favorite players/people on the Panthers. I would be devastated if he turned out to be Beason/Gettis 2.0.  I just didn't think about it when thinking of Kalil. Probably my homerism.

i chose this as the best answer mainly because i thought it was a good thread and worth re-visiting.

It's funny to think about the state of our offensive line last year and then read from that punk Schein that RG3 and Luck could have made the playoffs with Geoff Hangartner, Gary Williams, Zac Williams, Jeff Byers, Bruce Cambell, Thomas Austin, Jeremy Bridges,and Mike Pollak playing snaps. The Redskins had a terrific line, and I'm not familiar with the Colts.

 

I think we fired our O line coach and promoted the Hall of Famer guy. I hope that is a smooth transition.

You can only go up from the bottom

I remember the first game against TB where Silatolu was beaten by McCoy play after play. It was ridiculous. There was a notable difference in the playing of him in the 2nd game, though. Glad someone tracked this information. Good find.

I think having Silatolu could really help Kugbila out a ton. Having another guy who just recently transitioned from DII to the NFL to help guide him will be a bigger deal than I think most realize.

good point 

[jarhead]

So is it the consensus that Silatolu has turned the corner and is now a quality started? I sure hope because we are so thin at the position.

 

Can we afford Hamburger to start while Kugbila develops with Bell next to him? After looking at the FA's I see more talent left at RT versus OG.I feel we should upgrade the RT position to improve both the running game and protecting Cam.

[Creep59]

More protection for cam would really up his passing game.  Id bet Gettleman is waiting to see what team cuts in August  will make available that we can afford.
