Good analysis. I hope Stew comes back soon but it times to find our future bell cow RB. If this season goes to hell, which I don't think it will, Leonard Fournette is the ideal guy

Before we get a Leonard, this OL needs to be seriously upgraded in my opinion all across the board. They're built for the read option style of running game, not a power running game. And dummies need to let Tolbert go and get a blocking FB

Strewart would marginally help. This offensive line is the root of all problems. Can't run without going jumbo

It really makes you curious how things changed from last season.  Last season, no one could really stop our running game.  Looking at weeks 1-4 last year, we only really had one "good" game to start the year.  While I don't disagree with Bucky's assessment, he's a pretty smart dude after all, and a scout!

We played the two best defenses this year:  Minny and Denver.  Atlanta is playing extremely well right now.  The only dumpster fire we've played as been the 49ers.  So I'm thinking more and more, this is typical Panthers and Rivera for the month of September.  We're a kick away from being 2-2, which is a completely different ballgame.

Maybe, just maybe Tampa is what we need.  We got like 5 take aways last year with Early Tampa...again?

I don't agree with that. The OL was significantly better last year but still it's not like the yards were easy coming. I think the interior hasn't been quite as good and defenses are attacking the edge where the OTs aren't good (Oher was the worst run blocking OT last year) and the TEs aren't either.

 

Stewart had 4 carries over 20 yards. Top OLs can get their RBs that in a few games.

A top RB would be nice, but I agree with you.  Our most desperate needs in this next draft are OT and DE.

There are good RBs usually available even into the 3rd round.  We need to draft new anchors on the ends of both sides of our line before we think about RB.

But, then again, that would be drafting for "need", so who knows what the hell DG will pull next April... lol.

How did we win 17 games last year with the same oline

By having all 5 players played significantly better.

Defenses have come up with counters to the max protect crutch of the Panthers. 

You beat the Denver Broncos with RBs like Tevin Coleman, not Mike Tolbert.

      Looking Way Ahead, But.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.

      Chuba is a better back than Rico.

      If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....

      JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
