10. CAROLINA PANTHERS

Second-round pick Greg Little is still in concussion protocol, but if he has to have his number called at some point during this season, he looked more than capable. He allowed only four pressures on 82 pass-blocking snaps this preseason.

I think if the Panthers' line is a top ten OL then the sky is the limit.

[CRA]

This sounds nice 

I have not seen the work and play to believe it yet 

[Captain Obvious]

(PFF)fffffffft  whatever.

[MechaZain]

I keep hearing that Williams sucks at LT and PFF loves him last I checked so I don't know who to trust anymore.

I didn't watch preseason either but the impression of Little I've gotten from the Huddle does not match this at all.

[hepcat]

Maybe in name only. The way they played in the preseason that's a bottom 5 O-Line. Let's hope the light comes on when the regular season starts.

[BrianS]

If our O-Line is actually Top 10 we win the SB.  That simple.

The huddle told me Little was an absolute bust and stupid draft pick. Marty will probably lose his job because of Little. The Huddle has this figured out in 2 preseason games. Can’t be true at all

LOL

Little is going to be OK---he is simply having technique issues.  Waist bender---that puts your head out there--that leads to concussions.

Get him right Matsko.

To me, the weak link is LG.  If Paradis does not step  up, expect A and B gaps on the L offensive side to be picked on.

PFF is only a good source it it supports the narrative.

Right now, the narrative is our OLINE sucks and Little is a bust.  If PFF supported this, it would be touted and spammed non stop.  Since it doesn't, we shouldn't listen to PFF.

No one really knows a darned thing until the season starts. It's all just rampant speculation.

But PFF knows because they want money and clicks. I am so over the fluff pieces. It's prove it time and I agree that we are about to see what we really have.

PFF is only a good source when it comes to statistical aggregation. They're fantastic at that. Their "analysis"? Oh wee mayne.

You can't really gauge our starting OL from pre-season as the sacks and pressures were results primarily from blitzes which would obviously out number the amount of OL blocking. 

With the additional pressure you have to account for:

• The QB's (primarily Allen, Grier, Heinecke)
• The help (TE's and backs picking up the blitz)
• The back ups ability at WR & TE to get open vs the pressure getting home to the QB

As a whole our starting unit as a whole had what, 9-10 snaps this pre-season together and people in here were melting down, and in no game did any of the starters / Little stand out individually as a glaring weakness.

I think this article is on point, no games played in 2019, on paper we have a top 10 OL. 

So just take it for what it's worth.
