Again, our line is terrible. Cam too will begin getting injured for long periods of time(look at big ben) if we do not protect him.

And the Steelers address their OL needs in the draft:

Steeler Drafts since 2010

2112:

RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL

1 24 David DeCastro G Stanford

2 56 Mike Adams T Ohio State

2111:

RD SEL # PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL

2 63 Marcus Gilbert T Florida

6 196 Keith Williams G Nebraska

2110:

1 18 Maurkice Pouncey C Florida

5 151 Chris Scott T Tennessee

In that same time frame the Panthers have drafted one OL prospect higher than round 6 and two others in rounds 6 & 7:

2112:

2 40 Amini Silatolu G Midwestern State

2011

6 203 Zack Williams C Washington State

7 244 Lee Ziemba T Auburn

DBU - Draft Big Uglies

I know we need a RG desperately, but given the cap situation and the value of the LT position, we may want to go that way.

For you draftniks out there, which tackles carry a 1st round grade that might be available at our pick?

In no order:

Luke Joeckel

Dallas Thomas

Taylor Lewan

Eric Fisher

Joeckel will be long gone and probably at least one of Lewan or Fisher.

Most college linemen wear knee braces.

Good call...

Warmack is the likeliest player available when the Panthers draft that will add a new dimension to the team. Many of our plays (run and pass) were stuffed due to poor interior line play - mostly RG, but Amini made his share of mistakes as well. A guy like Warmack would prove more valuable than can be imagined at first glance; but just think about it.

What if our RBs actually had holes to run through? Maybe Chud would actually call runs on consecutive plays that aren't options.

What if Cam could actually step up in to the pocket consistently? Maybe those intermediate passes don't sail on him so much.

What if Chud could call a lead/load/trap/blast inside the redzone without the fear of a run for a loss? Maybe they wouldn't have to settle for so many FGs.

how to rebuild a franchise:

1. get a franchise quarterback

2. draft trenches

3. draft trenches

4. again? sure, why not: draft trenches

5. draft trenches

6. draft skill position players

And they can draft skill position for years after solidifying the fronts. Teams that win the LOS on both sides of the ball are so hard to beat.

People don't even understand how hard it is to get #1 done, let alone add a franchise MLB the next year.

I find it amusing that the only reason this info came out is because ESPN was digging around to find someone to blame for Griffin getting injured. I dont think anyone on ESPN at any time, mentioned how little time Cam had in the pocket.

U shouldn't be, It's ESPN. I could have sworn they were saying that Aaron Rogers was the most sacked QB.

I don't follow college so don't know anything about Warmack, but I do support the idea of surrounding Cam with as many Alabama players and coaches as possible just to ruin the experience for their fans. If we can get Saban to leave to be the QB coach that would be fun too.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
