Amini......playing better

I have busted his balls quite often, but he has done a decent job filling in for the beast. The pass rush that Cam faced this week should have been stymied by better play calling (a k.a: screens, short dump offs etc). Amini did alright and for this I give him credit. The ball busting will stop because he has performed better then expected. Credit where credit is due.

Eugene and Mick on Panthers radio were going on about Kalil raising hell with the refs cuz the Tack's D-Line was grabbing and holding him to clear the middle for those blitzes. Gotta wonder if Amini was getting the same treatment or if he was whiffing his blocks.

I'll trust Gettleman to make an appropriate offer for his skill level this off-season.

I'm not. Did we watch the same game? I saw him whiff a lot. Not to mention those blitzes were coming up the middle for a reason. Where was Turner, hurt?

These are my thoughts exactly. Amini still can't pass pro for poo. 

I will say this though. I do think he run blocks just a little bit better than Norwell.

Pass blocking is more important, IMO. LeBeau watched film on this flop, and drew up stunts and blitzes that came right in his face, and he failed. 5 Sacks. He needs to go, a wasted draft pick like there Division II lineman we drafted the year after him, Kugbila.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
