The O-Line ... Then and Now

Looking back at the first Seattle game this season, I have selected two plays to demonstrate how completely awful the right side of Chandler and Valesco was for the Panthers.

 

 

Up first, a play designed for Cam Newton to run the ball.

Valesco is absolutely mauled at the point of attack and actually is pushed back into Cam Newton by Michael Bennett. Valesco is stood up and easily beaten.

 

This play had zero chance of ever working.

 

 

Up Next... a Jonathan Stewart goal line run...

We have seen this exact play a few times over the past month. Remember Norwell mauling his man into the endzone paving the way for Stewart? Well, Norwell is pulling, but Foucault is blasted into the backfield and gets in Norwell's way.  Norwell is unable to get where he needs to be.

 

 

*** Bonus: notice Norwell is the only lineman that actually drives his man to the ground regardless. lol

 

 

 

I just wanted to remind everyone how poorly the right side of the line played for most of the season.

Nah, Seattle is just that good. They need not worry who is on the line. As a matter of fact I hear we are putting the original line back together for this game.

Since it doesn't matter and all.

Not even gonna watch. Seattle is just too much. Any hawk fans want to crochet hipster sweaters with me sat night instead?

Do you think they believed me?

Despite that our offense flew up and down the field at will in 1st half. Unfortunately we settled for two field goals and had a turnover at the 10 yard line.

Have to finish drives and not turn the ball over this weekend. We do that we have a good shot

We have got to get the Cam to KB connection working in red zone.  It seems Cam either overthrows or underthrows.  DA just says F$%$ it and lobs it up in the air.   Cam seems like he trying to place it in a spot.   I think if we can get that play working consistently it will open up everything else.

Love that line... mostly because it's true, lol.

Don't forget KB's dropped TD. 

 

But Kelvin had a good day against Sherman. That's promising.

The one thing I want to see is Byron Bell never left one on one with Bruce Irvin. Bruce Irvin is the type of guy Byron cannot block 1v1. He's to quick, too athletic. If you leave him over there on an island, it will be a long day. 

 

just curious... who IS the type of guy Byron can block 1v1?

 

I mean, possibly Fua, but any actual NFL talent?

Everybody has jokes but Byron has had success blocking slower stronger defensive ends. Guys that depend on technique and not speed are a better match up for Byron. He really hasn't been that bad this year. People just like to scapegoat him.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
