Notebook: Dave Canales likes new-look offensive line

[Jackie Lee]

Rookie C to Bryce yikes. Remember when they let him lead protection meetings in training camp without even sitting and learning from Dalton for any time at all? Corbett is rusty too, I'm surprised they didn't look into free agency but maybe they're just holding off til after the draft

Conner WIlliams is still out there, he's a C/OG and started......12 games at center next to hunt last year. I don't know why he's still un-signed, must be a injury deal.........(just looked, yep he got a acl week 14). Still toss him a min type of deal, can not hurt even as a backup.

He's a former 3rd round steal that started on Dallas, whom draft as well as any team. Again ACL are not big deals these days, its silly to think Colbert can play C. 

He should be ready for TC and or week 1.

W-L I don't really care about this year. I just want us to score some fugging POINTS. Is 24 a game asking too much?

still not sure about that whole corbett to center thing. 

we have to draft a guy. 

i'm very open to C/G at 33 and ILB at 39. The receivers will be out there.

I've read about how important it is to have a knowledgable C running the show with all of the communication, protections, pre-snap decision making, etc. 

That being said, Frazier looks NFL ready day 1 and I really hope he is a Panther at 33 or 39. There's still good talent at the position that we can get at 65, but Frazier is a bonafide stud. His wrestling background and nastiness in the trenches intrigues me a lot.

Honestly, it's years past time. Investment in the O-line should be done in such a way to keep things moving efficiently from year to year. I could argue that it's the most important unit on the team. And, I know a lot of people may not like it---and I'm not suggesting that you don't draft high quality O-lineman, but you should always keep enough stores in free agency to acquire quality O-lineman because they have proven that they can be a successful pro.

Some may not agree, but you can get by with so-so offensive skill positions, QB excluded, but you can't fake a good O-line.

he would be a good option....if he can stay healthy, which i don't think anyone is sure he can. they are probably following his progress and i think they would love the fact that he isn't just good at the whole center thing, but he has worked along side hunt. wouldn't be bad to have him paired up again.

i just wouldn't want to have to rely on him. he might be an after draft guy if we don't get one there that looks like he could start.

You had me at ‘nastiness’…
