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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
