Is anyone currently on the roster suitable to at least be a stop-gap at LT?

Pretty straight forward question.  

 

I don't know what the rest of the FA will provide but it's a mixed bag of offensive linemen we have at tackle and we need someone to protect Cam's blindside in the worst kind of way.  

 

Nate Chandler (G/T) random factoid: began college at OT (fr), went to TE (so), then to DT (jr-sr) 

 

Byron Bell

 

Garry Williams

 

Travis Bond

 

Andrew McDonald "Player A" in the Incognito/Martin Wells Report

 

I'm not so sure if there is but was looking to see if these guys had any fans.  I didn't think Chandler did poorly by any means this past season.

Williams might be my choice, but I like the snapshots I have seen of Chandler.  I think Rivera mentioned Bell (he has been worked at LT with the panthers at times in pre season and in practice).  All could be considered "stop-gap."  However, anyone can stop the gap, it is the 2 guys that form it that bother me.
:lolu:

 

I think we may go with a rookie.  I am not critical of Gettlemen on this situation either.  I think we all expected Gross to return.  Again, the bank account is Hurney's doing, not Gettlemen's.  Nonetheless, he made decisions like franchise tagging Hardy--when he made that one, he did so knowing he was probably not going to find a stud LT in free agency.  (Hardy better get 20 sacks and 75 tackles this year--that is all I am saying about that)

 

I think, when they said "there are young guys on the roster who need a chance to play", he was referring to the OL and WR depth.  We shall see.

No, and this is my only concern (not even WR or DB concern me). I don't know what GMan plans to do, but on the bright side it's hard to name many Super Bowl winning LT's. If the answer IS on this roster however, I don't think they add their name to that list, if that makes sense.

      It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit

      T-Mac or Nalo

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
