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.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
