Panthers meeting with...a center from USC

[Mr. Scot]

Hangartner and Jeff Byers retiring hurt our center depth. Could be a good mid round guy for us.

 

Remind me, where did Byers go to school again? :lol:

 

[El Chingon]

Excellent size for a C - 6'3 320LBS  We would play him at RG

USC can pump out some centers here lately

Kalil's cap hit next year is 11.8 M I'm pretty sure.

 

Not many C's are paid that well, and DG may be looking to move on.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: The team site currently has a video profile up of Arkansas Center Travis Swanson.  Also UCLA Guard Xavier Su'a-Filo (who I like).

No worries, if we get rid of Kalil in the future, I'm sure DG feels comfortable that Bell can play that position to along with every other OL position.

[Mr. Scot]

I see us drafting four hog mollies (OG, OT, C, DE/DT). Get ready for an ugly draft.

 

Fixed.

 

One thing for sure: You'll be hard pressed to find another guy with as good a sense of humor or just as downright cool as Kalil.

Remember how awful Kalil was as a G?! That was so shocking as Centers are usually converted guards.

B Buckner is usually pretty critical about Kalil saying that although he has great second level athlletic ability he does not dominate the line like he is paid. He talks about other NTs pushing him back and that he is ideal in a zone blocking scheme not a power run.

I love Kalil but I agree that Kalil is not as dominating player like he is paid like. Usually Centers are not paid so handsomely. Most of the elite LTs got 8-10 million this offseason.

In other words...i would start to look for the NEXT center who is versitile to play G now.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't want G-Man to get rid of Kalil. He's easily the most lovable guy (right after Gross) but I'm guessing he knows Ryan isn't gonna take a paycut next year so he's getting ready to move on.

 

Kalil is one of the best centers (arguably the best) in the league.  Very few centers are as good at second level blocking as he is.

 

That said, is it a legit possibility?  Yes it is :(

Hurney contracts :(

 

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Yep. I can see G-Man opting for a cheaper alternative even if Kalil is an excellent second level blocker. He likely wants a big guy dominating the trenches.

The running backs agree!

[Mr. Scot]

The running backs agree!

 

Until they realize they're next :lol:
