After 4 weeks the offensive line rank; after 8 weeks

Offensive line is ranked slightly better than average coming in at 14/15th in the league depending on what stats you’re looking at.

Moton has been our best offensive lineman.

Putting in Little last week helped quite a bit, bumped us up a couple spots.

Paradis still struggling.

The Cowboys oline has played godly. I think following their footprint and drafting the hell out the oline is something I’d be down for.

The Cowboys with their amazing OL haven’t done anything at all since they’ve had it back in 2014. Yes it’s good to build in the trenches but having an elite OL at the expense of other positions on offense and defense is not a winning formula.

I'm not understanding the Paradis hate?  Coming off an injury, joining new team, new QB, new line mates.  Now he has a NEW new QB and the line keep shuffling around him.  Not to mention the guards beside him have not been great.

They are asking this guy to do some insane stuff.  He's doing what he can in this situation.  All in all he's not our worst problem.

I think that this stat and rank is a bit misleading since Allen took over the ball has been out of his hands quickly and he's been dodging rushers. When Cam was under center he was being harrased frequently and they gave up several sacks. Paradis has been so bad too. Middle of the pack doesn't seem right. 

Allen wasn't stepping up into the pocket and could've prevented pretty much all of those strip sacks had he had any pocket awareness & acknowledgement of his tackles roles. Of course, given how little experience he has, it is to be expected. But hope is that his pocket awareness gets better soon.

And well, if Daryl Williams wasn't starting weeks 1 and 2, I bet it would've helped a whole lot more too.

Yeah you're right about the stepping up part. Cam never does it. Allen does but sometimes he forgets.

You know, I've got to disagree here. In the Houston game, and in Arizona, I saw Allen moving around pretty wisely in the pocket: just a step here, a quick skootch over there, and he had a very good tendency to move forward rather than back pedal and get in the way of the tackles' redirect lanes. 

Most of his sacks, working from memory here, were quick hit ones, often with just a missed assignment or a half-assed block thrown.

I think the kid has excellent pocket awareness, particularly considering  his inexperience. Not to slam Cam but his approach to movement in the pocket is totally different and is more predicated on his size, strength and ability to go upfield -- things that can lead to really bad sacks when they happen (with major, major yards lost at times). Allen's smaller size and musculature makes him more of a duck and weave kind of rush avoidance, which is fine, but when caught... whabbo.

Getting the ball out quick helps any O line including teams like New Orleans who get the ball out quick.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
