Our O-lineman are getting a lot of praise, yet we are terrible at running the ball?

Norwell, Turner, and even Williams seem to be getting a lot praise this year from various sites, yet without Cam we are bottom 5 in rushing yards and bottom 3 in ypc

In every Mccaffrey and Stewart thread everyone blames the line for their lack of production, yet everyone wants us to back up the brinks truck for a gaurd.

So what is it? Do our RB suck or is our line overrated

Before the KB trade, we had the worst run blocking in the league. After, we had the best.

recently, we started losing our WRs so defenses aren’t afraid of stacking the box. Hard to do much in the passing game so lately defenses work against the run with success.

Line doesn't suck, rb's don't suck, it's all the bullshit we do before the handoff... Fakes on top of fakes, on top of fakes. Read option kills any rb star line... Ask DWill... The option plays are destroying our run game

Wasn't there just another thread that said Stew sees more 8 men in the box than any other RB in the league?

I guess Lesean McCoy didn’t get the memo

 

You know basically every good RB gets 8 men in the box. Even the saints RB face a lot 8 man boxes

See @Saca312‘s post above. Second half of the year has been much better run blocking. Not sure about Stewart but McCaffery is averaging 4.7 ypc in the last 8 games.

You mean the second half when the coaches said screw it let’s run Cam 10 times a game 

 

Look at the game logs, Cam was our leading rusher in 5 of the 8 last games . Our running game was still trash outside of the a few games

    • Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......
    • The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.  
    • Pressure or no pressure Bryce Young does not have the arm talent to consistently threaten defenses and open up the whole field. We have seen this throughout his 32 career starts. The Jaguars defense in week 1 only blitzed on 20% of Bryce Young's dropbacks and they still imposed their will and forced 3 turnovers from Bryce Young. I can present you information but if you choose to ignore it and what you are seeing with your own two eyes you are beyond help.
