This kid stepped up today. A third string DT to starting guard against that defense? Sheesh...

 

I only saw him blatantly whiff on a defender once that led to a sack, but all things considered, I was quite impressed with his play along with the rest of the line.

 

Kudos to him!

From what I've seen, he can definitely block, and block well.  I don't doubt that. 

 

You've also got to be able to know the assignments, and today he seemed to handle them all right.

 

On the scoring play for Williams, he pulled and threw a great kick out block.  Kudos for that.

 

Yes, he whiffed on one today too, and one of the best centers in the game botched a snap.  It happens.

 

Overall, I'm pretty happy with him.  Don't know that I'd buy him as a long-term starter, but as a capable backup?  Yes.

      A competent GM could have turned that Burns trade into 4 or 5 day 1 picks and still ended up with BY. Fitts was just so fugging bad.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

      Thielen traded

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.
