The offensive line

[Millzy7]

Let focault start fug it he hasn't made any bell esk mistakes

[Millzy7]

Ugh throw those fuging plays out!!... Defenses are actual intimidated of are offensive potential we need to maintain a line if scrimmage and keep defenses on there heels..

[CPantherKing]

The 1st play of the final drive is another one to be reviewed. The Panthers 5 offensive linemen and the TE slide left to block 3 defensive linemen. 6 on 3. They leave the DE to run free toward Cam. Stewart is pushed away from a block attempt 1 yard in front of Cam, and Cam is plastered. Sack.

 

6 blockers on 3 DLs with the running back taking the DE. Who screwed that up?

 

At 42 seconds remaining in the game Cam receives the snap in the shotgun.

 

At 41 seconds 2 offensive linemen are blocking no one and dropping back into Cam. The two blockers near cam step up 1 yard in front of Cam and sit in his lap.

 

At 40 seconds Norwell is in Cams lap blocking no one. Kalil and Velasco double down on a DT. Byron Bell takes care of his man one on one. Jonathan Stewart is left alone with the DE and gets beat to the inside 1 yard in front of Cam.

 

At 39 seconds DE is draped all over Cam. Sack. Cam quickly tosses the ball to avoid the loss of yardage.

 

Whoever drew this blocking scheme up needs to be fired now. Why would you ever slide 6 men to the left to block 3 men while leaving the DE on the RB? If you are going to leave 7 in to block 4, then you double the ends with tackles and the backs while using the guards and center to slide together toward the DTs slanting angles. This garbage can be seen in every game for the first half of the season and the coaches never correct it. Clearly the players have been told to block like that. Ridiculous.

 

After Cotchery false starts on the next play, the OL follows that up with a horrible job maintaining a pocket. In 1 second, Bell is flat out beat with speed with his man sacking Cam, Velasco is bull rushed 8 yards back into Cam's lap. Chandler is beat to the outside and recovers but is already 8 yards into the back field in Cam's lap. The pocket is no bigger than 1 yard by 1 yard. This happens all in 1 second. Let me say that again. This happens in 1 second.

 

Awful coaching and awful player personnel moves.

Newton seemed to have an average of 2 seconds to throw and if he had an outlet in the gap created from the rush that wasn't a screen pass, I didn't see it.

..and from those stands, the 4 of us sitting together could call the plays before they happened.

Everything with this offense is slow and ponderous almost to the point of being painful.

I'll say it again, in the entire world, in the NFL world, there had to be at least two cheap close to retirement vets for This oline

Then what is out there.

There also had to be a better OC than David Shula.

This is a business, this is their jobs.

If he Foucoult can recognize who he needs to stand in front of, then I am all for putting him in.

Wait what?

You must not have heard.

Its Cam's fault because "he holds onto the ball too long".

[juliosantos]

i think norwell did the best out of everyone thats not named kalil , bell is so bad 

[AceMan]

Wonder how long it takes for Bell and Chandler to get benched...took forever for Godfrey to get cut

[philp]

this isn't the best example, but he needs to be stepping up in the pocket more like he was the first part of the season.  the only thing that kills me about cam is the sacks that could have been avoided by either stepping up or throwing the ball away.
