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.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
