Panthers Run Blocking YBC - Weeks 1-8: 29th in the NFL. Weeks 8-15: 1st in the NFL

When shulas complicated run blocking system is off key, its bad. When its clicking, its damn good.

Well, that’s crazy.

The Panthers run blocking lately has been significantly better - so much so that they could be the best in the NFL.

Before game 8, the Panthers were deep bottom in yards before contact, but afterwards they reign supreme.

 

Is this where I bitch and moan and complain that Saca made a post?

Look at CMCs rushing YPC since Atlanta. Looks like things have clicked for the rookie.

so it is execution............how bout that

[pantherphan96]

Some of it is definitely chunk plays-- Cam has had a few big runs, same with Stews TD run vs the Vikes. Run blocking has improved, M Kalil and Trai specifically started the year pretty poorly but have gotten better since.

Good oline play isn't as simple as putting 5 capable linemen on the field. 

Our IT has struggled adjusting to our system and Cam. 

Our probowl center has missed most of the season. Which also affects the play of every other lineman. 

Larsen is a capable backup, but he is not long term solution. 

Guys were getting better, but execution was inconsistent throughout the offense. 

Kalil came back, and the line immediately improved. 

Every week they play together, they will continue to improve. 

Life in the NFL, thrives and dies through the o line.

Im sure a lot of that is just Cam

It's a bunch what Cam influences. Read option with McCaffrey is absolutely deadly with a healthy Kalil.

Trust the system

Besides Stewart's run I believe Cam was untouched on both his big runs this year.  Those always help an average.

I won't comment on KB being a good or bad blocker but I don't think it is a total coincidence that we are better after he left.

I have always said that R. Kalil is the glue to our line.  We are far better with him than without him.  

In all honesty as long as we continue this pace I could really care less of how it happened as long as we keep putting more points on the board.  Our defense is going to hold most teams to less points than we are scoring (as of late)

Has more to do with the offensive turn around than trading Kelvin, imo.
