  1. That depends on the system. WCO based systems like ours frequently have smaller, more athletic linemen. I'd also point out that though he's an inch taller, Joe Thuney is actually listed as eight pounds lighter than Elflein.
  2. I remember Elflein being pretty good in the past. Don't know as much about Erving. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not "freaked out" by either signing, but I am a little concerned about us pursuing recently injured players again.
  3. I don't know that these are terrible signings, and I feel like it's going to be a while before we can say anything definitive on it. My concern is that we're still pursuing players who have dealt with recent injuries.
  4. The Patriots seem to be going whole hog. Being reported now that they're pursuing Matthew Judon.
  5. I've seen a couple of people say that, but I don't know that it's true. Remember, this year is a little different as far as salary cap and such.
  6. I don't hate the signings either as far as quality. I was, however, hoping to get away from depending on "good when healthy" or "coming off of injury" players.
  7. Current head of pro personnel is still Matt Allen (i.e. Jerry Richardson's grandson). Luke Kuechly did join the pro personnel department this year.
  8. It's not just the guaranteed money that counts against the cap. It's also not so much about the total cap as it is the available cap.
  9. I've heard a couple of people suggest that, and I just can't get on board. It would be a very Panther thing to choose a draft where the offensive line class is expected to be good and deep to be the one where we trade away all our picks.
  10. Is it? In a normal year it might be, but this isn't a normal year. We don't know that yet.
  11. I know we were expecting a lot of one year deals, but so far we've seen Erving signed for two years and Elflein for three.
  12. Outside reaction so far is...not positive. That's not always the best measuring stick though.
  13. Klein and Ellis both expect he'll get a chance to compete for the starting left tackle spot.
  14. I was kind of hoping to not hear or use the phrase "good when healthy" for a while. Looking like it might stick around for another year or so.
  15. Patriots are signing a nose tackle from the Dolphins too. So far, the tampering period is mostly us and the Patriots.
  16. First round pick of the Browns in 2015. His previously spent time with the Chiefs and most recently the Cowboys. He's played both tackle spots. Makes me wonder if maybe we're finally going to try Moton on the left and use Erving on the right.
  17. PantWRs, Vark? And to be clear, not official yet. Just in the works. Probably be official shortly.
  18. These definitely aren't big names or huge salaries. Damn quick out of the gate though. Pretty much nobody expected that.
