New theory about O-line

Since we all seem to be doing the blame game. I figured to jump in and do the same.

I blame for our o-line blues none other than...

DC Ron Meeks

He has simplified our defense so much that for all of training camp and of course preseason when other teams are so vanilla, that now our oline doesnt know how to handle complex schemes and different looks.

The oline is used to seeing just one front and no adjustments on defense. So we get the Birds in game on and they do an interesting thing. They overload one side of the line and then do something that is absolutely foreign to our o-line. Its called a blitz.

The funny thing about this blitz is that they sent more people than we have to block and our oline and qb gets so frustrated. Our defense does try to do this at times, but unfortunately we havent mastered the blitz yet. We like to run right into the back of our own player or the other teams oline.

So you see everybody our oline wasnt up to par because they always practice against a one front defense. Chalk up this loss to Ron Meeks! What an ass.

this is why i thnk we need to bring in an assistant DC/defensive consultant who knows about blitzing and 3-4s. at the very least he could help the o-line get ready for it.

i know if i had the job as DC i would just stack 9 in the box all day and blitz like crazy. it's proven to work. panthers can't handle it.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
