Starting Lineup:

Left Tackle: Chris Clark, 51.6
Left Guard: Greg Van Roten, 60.1
Center: Ryan Kalil, 56.8
Right Guard: Tyler Larsen, 56.8
Right Tackle: Taylor Moton, 76.8

There’s not an offensive line in the league that’s more banged up than Carolina currently. With Trai Turner out, they had backups at left tackle, right guard and right tackle this past week. The good news has been that Taylor Moton hasn’t been playing like a backup through two weeks. He didn’t allow a single pressure on 52 pass blocking snaps against the Falcons after switching back to his more comfortable right side.

Lol Moton...another decent lineman who never would have had a shot if not for injuries.

I wouldn't pay a dime for PFF's "Premium Stats," so I have no idea of how they arrive at these good-to-the-decimal-point ratings.  I recall from years past, when all their data and rankings were transparent and free, that it was admitted they arrived at these numbers by a sole employee's totally subjective analysis of how (supposedly) every player performed on every single play.

Right there, I'm suspicious of the numbers.  The room for bias from these individual observers is obvious and blatant.

Their rating for Luke in week one, somewhere in the 50's, when he had 14 tackles, didn't pass the smell test for me, for example.

To rate our OL equally reeks.  I prefer the results:  only 2 sacks on Cam, with 47 pass attempts, is a good performance.  And the rushing results speaks loudly of success fo0r our OL:  a 6.7 yd average for each rush, best in the league for the week.  I dismiss their numbers, and their rankings, and their reason for existence.  Fie on PFF.

Sorry to sugar-coat it.

one sack was a coverage sack. I don't blame it on the O-line. Honestly can't remember what happened on the other sack

Completely agree. In order to have any confidence in one of these rating systems, you have to know how individual plays are rated and why. Otherwise, there's no reason to believe the rating when it disagrees with your own impression from watching the game. This is why I also don't put much stock in ESPN's QBR.

For what it's worth, PFF's rating of our lineman relative to each other seems mostly correct. Clark was clearly the worst, and Moton was clearly the best. I would have rated Kalil and Van Roten similarly with Larsen as the second worst, but none of them stood out as particularly good or bad. Overall, I was satisfied with the line play last Sunday, but I think better defensive ends going up against Clark will cause some problems.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
