Carolina has Worst Pass Blocking Offensive Line

Moton, Turner and Van Roten are all manning the same spots they did before. Only Williams and Paradis are new from last year, replacing Chris Clark and Ryan Kalil.

My mistake...two guys have played next to each other, for one season. I still think they’ll get better with time.

Let's increase the sample size before we hang our heads in shame over the O-line. They looked much better against Arizona. This Sunday against Houston will give us a better idea.

These guys did better against the Rams than anyone thought they would.

i don't understand.  according to the panthers o-line play is highly overrated.  protecting the most important player on our team is not important.  did y'all not get the memo?

[JARROD]

Yeh but working the pocket and have quick accurate decisions with the football backs the rush up.

theres a counter to everything. Having a guy that can’t complete a forward pass will skew the numbers.

i wonder what those numbers looked like with just Arizona?

I just hope Norv is prepping the gameplan to account for our struggles in pass protection in order to protect Allen - both in terms of opportunities and confidence.

I do like what I've seen of Allen in terms of pocket presence so far though. Should be a good test.

That's all going to change against the Texans.  Little will take his place at LT for the rest of the year. Williams will adequately sub for Turner, maybe with some help. Paradis has gotten better by leaps and bounds probably because of Allen giving the line more time for communication before the snap. Then it gets even better when Turner comes back from injury and Williams warms the bench.

But everyone was so excited that Elway was dumb and let Matt go..

And that nobody in the NFL wanted DW and we got him at a “great deal”.

And how after years of being horrible our o-line was finally a strength

Matt Paradis' success in Denver has not translated to success in Carolina, as he has put up a PBWR of just 80%, well below the average for centers of 91%. But the biggest disappointment on this Carolina line has been Daryl Williams, who is back after missing most of last season with a knee injury. He was rocked by Barrett when the Panthers faced the Buccaneers, but really, he has been bad overall, with a PBWR of 76%.

Even Trai Turner and Taylor Moton -- both PBWR stars in 2018 -- haven't been excellent. Overall, no team has been worse in PBWR than Carolina (32.5%)

This tells me it's likely scheme related, or a lack of adjustment by Turner to what defenses are doing. I've seen a lot of wide 9 lately to isolate tackles and gets guards on defensive ends in pass rush downs. 

Allen's ability to read and react faster than Cam (not a dig at Cam, just the truth) should help the offensive line quite a bit. Still think Moton should move to left tackle.

And it must also be said that the Texans offensive line sucks as well.

And Allen got 4 TDs and made it look easy.

Against the worst team in the league.

Cause maneuvering a collapsing pocket, hitting receivers perfectly in stride, spreading the ball out, throwing accurate passes into tight windows, and protecting the football is super easy as long as it says right there on da paperz that his opponent was bad on da defenses.

That would be the Dolphins.

Debatable. Neither has won a game and the Dolphins have played the tougher schedule.
