what i dont understand is that rivera says hes been using this year to evaluate and develop our young players, but lafell hasnt been getting the playing time he needs to do that. he likes naanee for his blocking, so i dont understand why keeps him out there more for his blocking skills when we pass 70% of the time..

i dont have a link cause i seen it on my panthers app on my droid..

"on how naanee has done as the number 2 wide receiver: 'he has done exactly what you want. the biggest thing about the way our receivers are used is we have them block downfield. hes an aggressive guy. he was a big part of what he had done in terms of running the ball in san diego, and he came in and fit that bill right off that bat. secondly, you look for that complimentary receiver to steve (smith), your go to guy. and legedu has been that guy as well.'"

Do you need a source? All you have to do is watch the games and you can tell he is the best blocking WR on the team.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to answer something that's so obviously misinformed, but I will do it anyways.

Legedu is far and away from being the best blocker on this team. Steve Smith is a premier blocker in this league, and Lafell was drafted by the Fox regime because of his abilities as a run blocker, and he has lived up to that reputation, even as a rookie.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you formulated your opinion as a justification for why you thought Legedu was playing over Lafell, so I will go ahead and give you the answer to that as well.

Naanee is more familiar with the offensive system we run, and a color analyst for one of our games a few weeks ago suggested Lafell was still learning the new playbook, but it certainly has nothing to do with their respective run blocking abilities, I know that because I DO watch the games, in responding to you suggesting that I do not.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
