Do We Double Dip Again?

Due to the success of bringing Kawann and Star together at the same time, will Gettleman and Rivera be more prone to double dip on tackle? Or do we likely get a guard and a tackle? I'm comfortable with Amini, but I don't know who will be the other guard as the entire o-line is looking like a mystery right now heading into this offseason.

I think all it is is an indicator that he's willing to do that if the talent is right. That's something that I bet a lot of gms can't say they'd be willing to do. Last time it worked and because they both looked so good this season they made the individual picks look better than if we'd just taken one.

It's all depending. If most of the the tackles are taken then the likelihood is when we pick at #28 we will most likely pick up a second round graded tackle! So with gettleman going on BPA we will most likely pick up a receiver, but again it depends on what teams pick before us and whether we trade down, I mean if all the first round graded tackles are gone and so are the high graded receivers then il have no problem with drafting down

I think it's possible, I just don't think it may be necessary.  If Gross comes back and all our injured Oline guys come back we really don't need to draft more than one tackle to be in pretty good shape.  The only other double dip possibility would be WR which, if we are going to be a running team,  we may not want to draft highly more than one rookie WR.  I mean, there are only so many snaps for a WR in our offense.  If we keep Smith, Ginn, bring in a decent vet FA and draft one good prospect those are probably our top 4 guys right there.  How often would the second WR draftee see the field?

 

That doesn't mean it's out of the question for us to draft more than one offensive lineman or WR, just that we may not have a need to double dip on either position with our first two picks.

 

It's not like last years DT position where we had a gaping hole and nobody around worth a damn to fill them.

Not at OT.  

 

I don't know why so many people are convinced that there is a likelihood that we're gonna double dip on OT, when there was no Meanie or Kug this past season. I think we may take one high if they are the BPA, but we have to get some offensive play-makers in here. We just have to. So if anything, I can see us double dipping at wide-out.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
