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.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
