OG Dakota Dozier


El Chingon

Recommended Posts

Word in scouting circles has Dakota Dozier of Furman building momentum for himself recently.  Scouts point to way Dozier stepped up against better competition the past two seasons, specifically mentioning the game film against LSU and Clemson.  I’m told Dozier has had private workouts with the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

I live near Furman and got to watch a lot of their games. Dozier is a beast. He's one of those guys who dominated the competition he played against in college. Sort of like how Amini did at Midwestern whatever.

I like this guy, currently projected by a later 2nd-early 3rd by most.  Natural knee bender, good pad level, working at OT for his college career has developed his foot skills nicely.  Strong base and legs that keep on churning, but he'll need to learn to be more consistent in his technique.  Could be a long time player in the league.

    • I just keep the main thing the main thing.   The equivalent here would be you raging about Joe Brady needing to be fired.   Me saying, Matt Rhule is the issue and firing Joe Brady doesn't address the biggest issue at hand and won't actually matter.  Which is a dance I did then too.  You then call me a Joe Brady apologist because I wouldn't get away from Matt Rhule being THE problem.  the main problem is Bryce Young and his supporters in the front office.  Until that changes, nothing matters.    Canales being a weak OC in over his head? Time and a place.  You can go check my threads from preseason where I blasted amateur hour  Canales for not calling plays.  He needed work because he isn't good.  But that's not the biggest issue we got.   Like I said, nothing really matters big picture until Bryce Young and his backers address THE problem.  Which is the QB.   I have gone into painful detail about the entire Dave scheme is dependent on a QB bailing out a meh scheme and approach.  I didn't want Dave.  Dave is Foxball in reality.  Which is what Pete did in Seattle in reality.  It's the same approach and it needs a QB to bail it out.   You want me to bash stuff I addressed long ago.  I'm no Dave fan.   But the biggest issue for the Carolina Panthers is Bryce.   I want the outcome that leads to Bryce Young not being retained.  That's what is best for the Carolina Panthers.  You want 2 more pointless wins notched onto a meaningless season if it means just another completely pointless season tied to Bryce?  Not me. 
    • Canales comes across as this uber positive, cheerleader guy, but he does seem like he can make a cold decision when needed (see: Bryce benching, calling out Coker, a few others).  Something about him makes me feel like he's a bit sneaky with how he can get.  He's the type where I think if he's just in a room with Tepper, he'll let it out about what he thinks to save his ass.   And even with the wins, I just don't see much camaraderie between Canales & Young.  They don't reference each other in the usual QB-HC tone/dynamic in pressers and games.  It seems like Bryce is still trying to prove himself and Dave is still just not impressed, trying to figure out what even works with the kid. My gut says he won't be shy to explain to Morgan and Tepper what he needs to succeed.  And that doesn't include Bryce.  Barring some epic turnaround, the book is close to being written.  He will have more leverage.  If he's gifted a 3rd season, I highly doubt he's going to look and say, yep, let's just try it again with Bryce.  That isn't happening.  
    • Underrated part of all of this. Feel like it was Kaye that reported that NOBODY wanted to touch this job, so we had to go with someone not really even getting interviews/hire someone too early.  A. Tepper is dumb to have not listened to Harbaugh if it's true he wanted to be here, since that was the only name I remember being *potentially* tied to us B. You can cycle through QBs every single year. You can't do that with coaches and expect to hire anybody worth a poo. Even if Canales sucks, optically we almost have to give him 3 years minimum to prove we're a serious team for once and not scare anyone else off.
