Think this is another one of those threads where we just pick names out of a hat and say we should sign them. Do you even have any clue who this guy is? I told you in an earlier post that we would sign a no name guy who was young and had limited experience but was cheap.

Word from Gantt is that just such a guy is visiting the Panthers as we speak and is getting a physical and will sign shortly. If it is before Kemo is put on IR then we will be losing another player momentarily. Apparently we worked Jackson out recently and put him on the short emergency list.

And how do you know that we have better players on the roster already. You don't know anything about this guy and you barely know about the players on the roster. One thing is for certain, no two things are certain: 1) We're salary cap strapped and 2) Fox has a good rep of picking good players. If you're a fan, be a fan. If you're a @#$%^ shutup

nice. say it with me.......championship.

Seriously, I guess we will have to wait till preseason starts to get an idea of what we might look like on the DL. Someone needs to play above expectations.

come on guys... let's just take a step back and RELAXXXX. if you guys remember when Jenkins went down and Jordan Cartsens stepped in, he was an unproven player that did well for us. We have 4 or 5 guys that can easily be a solid player for us @ that position. The odds are pretty good that one of those 4 or 5 players we have in camp RIGHT NOW could earn that starting spot.

CAMP BODY INDEED! Nothing to see here:

Kind of negates all the positives...

POSITIVES: Explosive run-stuffer in the middle of the line. Quick off the snap, plays with leverage and was consistently focused on by opponents. Flashes power, gets push up the field and is forceful in the middle of the line. Tough, yet also plays smart football.

Kind of negates all the negatives.

lol, Yeah, you could look at it either way, but being that he is only about 311 lbs., I don't think he's as much of a run-stuffer as this 'scouting report' suggests. It may have appeared that way in college, but I don't remember seeing a "stout-against-the-run" DT being less then 325 lbs. or so.

On top of that, his 40 time wasn't great either. I'd like to know his strength numbers though. His size suggests he does play with good leverage ("low man wins"), but we'll have to see. I do just think he's a body though.

Aside from that, I did see some posts on a Chiefs board, and a lot of the fans there thought he played well and "had potential."

Give it a few weeks, we haven't even gotten to the first round of cuts yet. I bet there will a gem on the waiver wire. And sure as you're born, some vet DT is gonna get cut who can fill in for a year. Anyone who we sign right now, I would assume is not in serious contention for the starting gig.

      Trading #8

      some of my favorite mocks i do are trading back with Indy or Miami, but not Arizona, as that lets Hotlanta pick before us.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl
