There are going to be uncertainties with the offensive line this year, but with Hangartner’s versatility and veteran presence, he’s sure to play a key role again.

 

 

 

Just a friendly reminder to take what these nuckle heads say with a grain of salt.

It's easy to trash them now but what they said was right on.  That is why cutting hangman was such a surprise.  Of course the Huddle is going to act like they all saw it coming and the Observer is full of nothing but morons.    

 

Well, you didn't see many people here praising the right side of the O-Line. In fact, most saw it as a huge concern.

There is some surprise at the timing, but no fan of the Panthers should be surprised he got cut. 

 

And even more ludicrous is the idea that he was a key cog on our line.

no, what makes it a surprise is the timing. it's not the time that cuts are typically made and we haven't seen who getts is planning to bring in. most saw him as a  weak link as a starter, but an ok backup....which is the story of his career., but that was less accurate of an observation as time has gone on because he's really marginal as a backup now. 

 

most understood that he would be replaced at some point and saw the drafting of kugbila, who is better built for the RG job, esp. for a team that wants to run a lot, as the first step in replacing piggie.

 

hangartner is a likeable guy, but he was holding back progress of the OL. the only real question now is who getts has in mind to replace him for the short term. kug is the answer long term, at least that is the hope, but for this year.....i dunno.

Although the Panthers drafted Edmund Kugbila and have looked at some veterans, Geoff Hangartner still appears to be the front-runner for the starting job at right guard. Kugbila has been dealing with injuries and it seems unlikely he’ll be able to beat out Hangartner anytime soon.

 

 

You can't trash the Observer and not trash Pat Y who also published this excerpt this morning.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
