I know we all look for the nasty, satisfying pancake blocks but sometimes all you really need is to slow the defender down for a split second or make him account for you by altering his angle.

I feel like 9 times out of 10 when I see a big o-lineman trying to block 10+ yards downfield, it looks awkward and they rarely make clean contact cause I don’t think those big boys are usually agile or shifty enough to be engaging with DBs and LBs in the open field.

An agile DB dodges a flying block by a guard. Yeah, that's kind of what is supposed to happen. The DB did have to slow down for a second, though, so you could conceivably call it a successful effort.

Here's the deal with Reed right now... how many times have you heard his name called? Gave up a sack? Snagged a holding penalty or a false start? How many of you actually knew the guy's name?

As guards go, he's been an upgrade here. And Miller has been good  on the right side. I'm liking what I'm seeing and the effort sure ain't bad.

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
