ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Panthers are interviewing Bills OC Ken Dorsey for their head coach vacancy.

Dorsey was promoted from QBs coach/passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator when Brian Daboll departed last year. Buffalo's offense was as dominant as ever under Dorsey, leading to his first interview for a head coaching gig. The interview will take place over the weekend. Dorsey got his start in coaching as the Panthers' quarterbacks coach in 2013. If he doesn't land the gig in Carolina this offseason, Dorsey will likely be a popular name in league circles next year.

Interesting that Dorsey will interview a day before his team plays the Bengals; not sure I'd be happy about that if I were a Bills fan...

Really???

The guy is interviewing for another job the day before their playoff game??

That's very surprising in itself, but it also means 2 things to me... 

First is that it means Steichen is Tepper's favorite or he's setting up future interviews to try and leverage going another way over Payton/Saints negotiations.  As if Payton was the top target, I'd think Tepper would be trying to get it wrapped up ASAP and not drag into the weekend, so setting up a weekend interview would be weird.

Tepper's going to be in NY on Friday anyway for the Payton interview, easy enough to take the 1 hour flight from there to Buffalo to interview Dorsey. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Its the Bill travel day... not sure why it would be an issue for him to do an interview....?

Just listened to a few minutes of Moving the Chains on Sirius while in my car.  Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan both said with the issues or questions on the teams who have openings, they think Payton would be better off saying no to everyone. Take a look again next year.

I honestly hope he does

      Ekwonu contract

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      65th in pass blocking rate is the issue. This isn't 1985 anymore. You're not paying LTs to be road grading run blockers.  He's above average for a starting LT as a run blocker. He's well below average for a starting LT as a pass blocker. The issue is that you're paying LTs primarily to be pass protectors.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rd 1. Walker ESPN went big for the Carolina Panthers in their latest 2025 mock draft. This time, the worldwide leader enlisted the expertise of both Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates—who went pick for pick over three full rounds. Kiper Jr. started Carolina's haul with the obvious prospect at Pick No. 8, Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker: Carolina had big-time defensive issues last season. Walker can roam the second level with his sideline-to-sideline speed or fly off the edge to get home on the quarterback. The Panthers have to get some difference-makers on that side of the ball. Walker, the perceived frontrunner for the selection, played both off the edge and off the ball for the Bulldogs in 2024. He recorded a team-leading 6.5 sacks en route to capturing a first-team All-American selection and the Butkus Award.   rd  2. OT Ozzy Trapilo No. 57—Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo  Carolina must think offensive line early in this draft with a bunch of guys in contract years. Trapilo would be appealing for the Panthers as they try to improve Bryce Young's protection. One of those guys in a contract year is longtime starting right tackle Taylor Moton. The 6-foot-8, 316-pound Trapilo could serve as a depth piece in 2025 and a possible heir apparent to Moton, who turns 31 years old in August.   Rd 3 DL  Tyleik Williams Kiper Jr. wrapped up the pull at No. 74, with Ohio State defensive lineman Tyleik Williams: More defense for Carolina. Williams is stout against the run but also shows the quickness and suddenness to penetrate the backfield. He had 21 run stops over the past two seasons, which is good news for a Panthers team that allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry in 2024.

      As most now know, because of my topic about trading Moton, I think Tackle should be pretty high on our wish list. We have a guy at LT who most on this board still don't trust, although maybe last year was the year the lights turned on, and an aging RT who is going to want a contract that keeps him here as a starter until he retires. I just don't like the position we are in at the tackle position. JMO.
