Since the start of Tampering period, I have had 40-73 Huddlers PM me, all asking me for the MHS831, my real name actually, perspective.  So here it is, if bullet form, although I am not a violent man:

  • The Panthers wanted these guys because they locked em down very early in the process. 
  • The are both versatile, able to play multiple positions.
  • Both hustle, getting down field on screens or draw plays. 
  • They both have weaknesses and injury histories that are not considered major or career-threatening.

So do we know what we have?  2 centers?  A guard and tackle?  A center and a tackle?  2 Guards?  A center and a guard?   The answer (right now) is "yes."

I am sure that Rhule and Fits are aware of their shortcomings and their risks, but they didn't just grab them for a year, they signed them to multiple year deals.  They wanted these 2 players  and targeted them for a reason.  You have to think their versatility is key. 

Perhaps that will suffice for now.

Finally a response not based on quick emotions

I'm that dude that waits for things to go on sale and not jump on them as soon as they hit the shelf.  Call it the cheapskate in me.  No doubt we need OL depth and with our history of OL injuries we surely need positional flexibility.  However, these guys (or guys like them) would be available days from now and probably at a discounted rate from what we intend to give them.

Me too--fully expected us to do that.  These 2 guys can back up the entire OL--and either would probably be an upgrade at LG.

I lied about the 40-53 Huddlers so that people would think I am in the know like Verge.  I checked my inbox.  crickets.
