You know I kind of feel bad for the guy.  Ron has done everything he can to hand Amini the position and the poor guy can't catch a break.  Hate it for the kid but he will get another shot with Ron if he recovers. 

Ron better hope one of these guys step up or we'll get to see how old Norv can scheme around that left side.

Time to trade an asset for a legitimate starting guard in this league. Not sure who or where, but keeping Cam upright needs to be priority #1 moving forward. 

No way should we trade anything for a guard. A few will certainly be cut and even if not it's not worth trading away anything if real value.

Left guard Amini Silatolu suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during Tuesday's practice and will undergo surgery on Friday to repair. His return to play will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. Undrafted rookie Brendan Mahon will start Thursday night's preseason opener at Buffalo. The Panthers already had lost right tackle Daryl Williams indefinitely to a torn MCL and dislocated patella. Taylor Moton, who was competing for the left guard spot, has been playing right tackle since. So depth is becoming an issue on the line.

A torn meniscus hurts like a mother. And it isn't really repairable as all they can do is get in there and clean up the ragged edges to cut down on snagging and maybe scrape out any arthritis buildup they run across while they are in there. 

He'll be off his feet for at least a week and working with crutches for a couple more, then a month with a cane, maybe less with good PT. 

I hope the young man heals up, that's a heck of an injury for a big man.

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough

      This.  Honest introspection on his behalf would have seen that size and strength were his biggest weaknesses. He looks no different. With the programs in the NFL, he could have come back to camp 10 lbs of muscle heavier. Easily. If had done so, it would have been reported on. It would have been the hottest story…. But we never saw anything of the sort, so it probably never happened.  He showed improvement this last game, likely from Andy’s tutelage. He has to show something VERY special to close the season out to change my thinking on him… like 4 game winning streak with a clutch 4th quarter comeback. Then maybe.
