It feels like the hype around our Run blocking should have been for pass blocking.

It seems we are still having a tough time getting some real good push in the run game. Yet we heard a great deal about them being steam rollers all over and the power up the middle.... well that clearly hasn't been the case.

Instead, our pass protection has been outstanding. Cam has had plenty of time and has been pretty clean for the most part. Shula's long developing pass plays have been successful because we finally have provided him and Cam some guys who can protect him. It has been unbelievably refreshing to see Cam stand comfortably and scan the field. I hope it continues as the better defenses show up.

 

I don't think we've been awful or anything in the run game, I just don't think the run blocking has been as good as we hoped it would be.

 

What are your thoughts?

Oher and Turner's ability in run blocking may show at times but if we had a balanced receiving/blocking TE2 , the run game would greatly benefit (but I like Dickson for what he is).  I'd love to find a big TE2 sometime soon.  That would be huge for Cam because I can tell we have a place for a Dickson type role but with even more targets.

teams are stacking the box, just like last year early until the emergence of kb,plus olsen had a career year then teams had no choice but to back off, our run game began to flourish then. i expect the same this year, until our receivers outside olsen prove they require more attention we will see a stack box, that is also why we match up horrible with sea

I thought Turner's run blocking was really good?

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
