Another "throw him open" pass. Anderson's good at that.

I'm a little concerned by not seeing him look at both sides of the field, but if your first read is open, throw it. I'd rather see a less than optimal completion than see the ball get held too long resulting in a sack.

I've seen Anderson go through his reads quite a bit, so I'm not too concerned he didn't make another, after he saw the favorable match-up on the first one.

Olsen one on one. Not throwing him open. Just an easy pitch and catch when he sees Olsen's man trip. Olsen one on one with all the other defenders deep is not difficult.

The Falcons are not even disguising their coverage pre snap.

Makes it easier on the QB. Still, nice simple pitch and catch.

The ball was halfway there, before the guy tripped.  But yeah, if Olsen is one on one, you throw him the ball.  Simple decision.

Oh, I don't doubt he can do it, and we were in "hurry up" mode at that point, anyway.

As mentioned elsewhere, my big concern with Anderson has been that when he starts a full game, often he'll look good for a half to three quarters but get tired and sloppy late.

Didn't hurt us enough to lose his last few starts.  Maybe won't this time either (I hope).

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
