Van Roten

[saX man]

He played a bit against the dolphins and looked like one nasty SOB.  Anyone else notice?  

Was watching some highlights and he was hard to ignore.

Let's get Roten.  

Decent depth?

Let’s get kalil. 

But worst case scenario at least we know we have an above average backup and a serviceable third center.

If Kalil's neck continues to act up, Larsen and van roten are a good tandem at center.

It is good for the interior of the line in general. He didn't back down an inch from Suh.

I noticed that too. As a matter of fact, Van Roten was taking the action to Suh on a few occasions.

imo, we got one all-pro center and two starter-quality backups.

not every team can even say they have one starter quality starter, let alone two backups.

Shout out to Ray Brown. He keeps them boys ready!

That is VERY true.

He's been good, and when you think about how thin we were last year we can feel much better about the fact that he can cover guard and center. I remember reading a link to an article about his journey as an UDFA which made me hope that he would do well. The same adaptability is there with Moton who can also cover tackle. It will be interesting to see if we re-sign Norwell, and if they don't whether they will draft at the position or promote someone. Will Mkalil continue to improve or will they reinforce at tackle in what appears to be a draft with more options at that position? How about a new center after RKalil's season? It won't happen but i read that cutting him this year would save 7.5 mill off the cap.

Norwell's a beast, but I wouldn't be surprised to let him walk and let Taylor Moton be our guard.

Got to admit, as the season progressed Daryl Williams is looking a lot better and could solidify the RT spot. Definitely won't be mistaken for an all-pro, but could churn out to be competent, which is all I'm hoping for.

Taylor Moton would be a freaking nasty guard. Panthers def should take a look at that if they want to save cap and let Norwell get a shot elsewhere.

Dam pretty good thread so far, this screams thank you Dave but I'll just grab the Henny and let it go.

Yeah, depending on how contract talks go it wouldn't be the end of the world. 

Just keep the OL pipeline full.

Rivera said on The Panthers Huddle that he probably wouldn't play until next week.

He is 3rd teamer for a reason

Point is not that he's a starter..he looked good when he's needed to come in and could possibly be decent depth.
