O-Line Depth

[jamos14]

Figured this was worth it's own thread.  Rivera just announced Bruce Campbell is out with torn rotator, likely for the season. He wasn't great but he was our own only proven backup at Tackle.

 

Our RG position is still up in the air (likely Williams but still unknown).

 

At this point, I think we need to pickup 2-3 vet players at minimum to feel comfortable during the season.  Going to be very difficult because all teams are going to want O-line depth.

In Gettleman, I trust.

[jamos14]

Sure, I do too.  Point is, we are are in serious need for some O-line and we may be forced to spend money we were intending to save.  Not a good position to be in.  We have lost any/all leverage we had with some of the FA prospects. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

There are going to be some guys available pretty soon.  I dont think we get any "all world" caliber guys but they are equal if not better to some of these guys we have on the roster.

[jtm]

We'll sign some guys and be fine.

[YoungPanthers89]

Wharton should have been signed a week ago

We need to pick up as many RG/RT's as we can get.

[The Huddler]

Chill.

 

 

Look for a few decent FA signings on the OL after the last group of cuts to help with depth.

 

And again, this OL was a part of a 6-1 finish last year, without Kalil. We can win with them.

And at least someone who can pretend to be a LT. There's Gross and.... Nate Chandler now? I've been saying it for months, but if Gross misses anytime, our left side will be even more garbage than our right side. Amini isn't good enough to anchor that side.

Yeah, we need a lot of upgrades and a lot of backups. I think Gettleman saved money for just this reason.

[jtnc]

I hear Duke Robinson is looking for work.

[SCP]

Ignore the oline at your own peril. The Panthers never stay healthy so depth is key. Our situation ain't good.

Really? Why?

[csx]

The OL will be the downfall of this team. You are limited in how far the rest of your team can take you with no offensive line. You can't hide it. I think they can find something to improve the situation but the whole thing is a gamble.
