Carolina Panthers OTA's - Biggest Questions on Offense

[SgtJoo]

Holy poo, are OTAs today?

Im really not with offense outside of Oher... he doesnt even have to be good just decent and thats better than we have been

[Jon Snow]

I'm more concerned about the OT's than any other position.  I firmly believe that the success of the season depends on those guys being able to hold the spots down adequately enough to keep Cam upright.

​Yes. They are closed to media until Thursday. I will be there checking out the action.

Don't forget about Dickson... When the line started holding it's own towards the end of last year he was able to run more routes instead of blocking and had some clutch plays. I'm really really excited about what this offense can do with a healthy Cam, a capable #2 TE, a true workhorse back in Stew, a great interior line and hopefully improved tackle play, and KB, Olsen and Funch and Brown/Ginn. This is the most excited I've ever been about our team's shot at a Super Bowl.

   This is very true, not many people mentioning Dickson. Partly because he was tied up blocking last year, but also because we have made some good moves/changes that are taking the attention from him. Imagine KB out wide to the left; Funch, Olsen, and Dickson in a 3 TE bunch to the right. Hopefully Shula gets creative, we really have some nice pieces here.

Soccer season is done over here, can't wait for Football to begin, c'mon!

One thing that I would like answered during the OTAs is whether B-Will looks to have an increased role on offense.  of course we may not know anything real until August, but perhaps the OTAs will give us an indicator whether Williams will really be Swole Bones or Bag O' Bones this season.

​I don't believe so. 

Gettleman and Rivera are probably more excited about Norwell than any other lineman on the team according to my sources. 

​Is Norwell limited to LG?  He played some tackle in college.

I think Williams could be gone this season. I don't feel he will be the number two TE which means he will not have much playing time unless an injury occurs.

[ALAC]

I think the biggest question(s) are the tackle positions.  Our interior line played better than expected last season, but that couldn't make up for the totally inept play of Bell on the blind side.  He was even more of a train wreck than I expected over there.  Oher doesn't have to be very good in order to be an improvement, but that isn't saying much, nor is it enough.  Cam needs protection, from both tackles, for once in his Carolina Panthers career.  Remmers played decent toward the end of last season, but I fully expect Daryl Williams to take that job in training camp.  Hopefully we never have to see Jonathan Martin in a Panthers uniform.

Looking forward to Norwell vs Amini, am leaning towards Norwell winning the spot... Payne will push Fozzi for #2... RT is Remmers job to lose, look for Williams to push him

[LinvilleGorge]

I think Amini is fighting for a roster spot.  The guy has sucked so far.  Showed some promise as a rookie, but that promise hasn't developed.  He has a better chance of getting cut than he does of beating out Norwell IMO.

​Saw that.. If you know, can you explain what that NFLPA rookie thing is? Bill didn't really explain or elaborate.
