4. Carolina Panthers

Rush Blocking: Excellent

Pass Blocking: Above Average

This group should be even better since they’ve had a season to get comfortable at their positions, after years of shuffling around. RT Jeff Otah(notes) is a blue-chip rush blocker, and LT Jordan Gross(notes) went to the Pro Bowl. This line is built to rush the ball, and RBs DeAngelo Williams(notes) and Jonathan Stewart(notes) certainly took advantage, giving the team 4.8 YPC. Both players fit well into this power-blocking scheme. If Stewart is healthy, that YPC average might even top 5.0. As for QB Jake Delhomme(notes), he’ll have all the time in the world to decide where he’d like to throw multiple interceptions.

Articles a joke

The strength of the Falcons line was a major surprise, and partly due to the return of the zone-blocking scheme, which better fits the team’s personnel. This unit is full of promising young players and has the potential to get even better. They have a bit of a problem generating push up the middle, so if RB Michael Turner(notes) goes down, there could be some short-yardage scoring issues. The line is also good in pass protection, particularly against the blitz, so QB Matt Ryan(notes) is a happy camper.
We don't use a zone blocking scheme. Our personnel is full of 310+ pounders on the OL. He hit it with full of young players with potential though.

Obviously you watch the dirty birds much more than my two times a year, but the ZB scheme isn't all about personnel across the line. Michigan ran lots of ZB a couple of years ago with a huge lumbering big 10 line. Actually if anything the ZB is designed around what's in the backfield, and whether they ran it or not Norwood is the type of back that could take advantage.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
