Chicago's O-Line


Anybodyhome

Recommended Posts

This from a Chicago reporter:

 

"An odd game up front. The Bears came out pounding the ball with the run game and were successful throughout the game. Jay Cutler was sacked only once and running backs totaled 194 yards while the Packers managed just two tackles for loss as the line prevented penetrations from some solid defensive talent (Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers)."

 

I don't know where PFF or any of the other stat-keepers rank the Packers D-line and how it compares to the Panther D-line, but one thing is fairly obvious, both Green Bay and Carolina are having major issues stopping the run. And let's not get started about how Matt Forte basically owns Carolina, having put up some huge rushing numbers against better D-lines than the Panthers are fielding right now.

Your D-Line is going to abuse our O-Line. My only hope is that Cutler makes quick, smart decisions. In other words, it's probably going to be a long day. He'll throw for some decent yardage and might get a couple/few touchdowns. But, he'll make up for it by probably throwing a couple picks. Your defense will be scoring points this weekend! Hopefully your offense is still shitting the bed as well come Sunday.

    • The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve.
    • It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
    • And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
