Ouch. I suspect the greatest thing he needs to improve upon to get his share of playing time is pass protection. He has the frame to be a good blocker... technique comes next. I remember Dave when we drafted Gafney saying very few college backs really and truly know how to protect against a rusher. I'm confident he has the ability or he wouldn't have been drafted by us at all.

Mayo comes in at 6'2 230 at LB, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with but Payne needs to hold his ground way better.  Though...there's not many RBs outside of our own Tolbert, Daniel Thomas or Gore (in his prime) with shining pass blocking skills so our LB core could destroy many backs with someone like David being situational behind Shaq/Luke/TD.

rookie, but he did mention that he was a good pass blocker.  I can also add it is tougher in drills for the RB than than the LB. 

A-P has some serious work to do with the feet, but when he gets it, that will be great.  Not afraid of contact, just doesn't anchor.

He still blocked him for over a second and slowed him down.  A lot of RBs completely whiff on blocks and let in a free rusher.

I mean it's not like he's an o-lineman that's expected to hold his blocks.  It's not that bad.

Counting the snap of the ball and the time it takes for Mayo to reach CAP... AND the fact that this would've been a blitz, looks like Cam would've still at least had a solid 3 seconds or slightly more.  Assuming the o line held up their end of the deal.

Getting more than 3 seconds to throw the ball on a blitz isn't bad at all.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
