Panther's O-Line hasn't allowed a sack in back-to-back games.

It's tough to get a sack when the football leaves the quarterback's hands before you have time to get there.

Add in that Joe Brady's scheme and route concepts just about always give Bridgewater an open option fast so that he doesn't have to hold on to the ball waiting for something to open up.

There are clearly differences in the offense but there is no doubt that this line is playing pretty good. If Okung stays on the field then that trade was well worth it. Turner wasn't ever going to make or break our line play but a solid+ LT sure makes a difference.

Teddy’s ability to understand defenses and recognize blitzes is a huge reason why he’s gone 2 weeks without getting sacked.

Avoiding negative yardage plays goes a long ways in winning a football game.

But I realize none of this stuff shows up in the box score so it doesn’t count.

That Falcons D was SofT. With a capital T, SofT. Hope the OL continues to gel and improve! 

That Cardinals D had some talent, though. And they came up zilch, too. The Chargers got Teddy twice, but they have some big names on their D.

I think we're seeing not just improvement in individual skills and faster reads, but something is gelling nicely there along the line and with Teddy's protection calls. Good coaching sure makes a difference. Okung has helped, but honestly, Little and Daley were both much improved over last season.

A lot of people don't want to admit it but Cam has never had the best pocket presence/awareness. Some of those sacks were at least partly on him. Of course he avoided others with his mobility/tackle breaking (though that seemed to diminish quite a bit since his first 4 years or so), so it may have evened out, but Teddy has that ability as well and has pretty damn good pocket presence/awareness.

Turner was becoming a serious liability I think. He hit his plateau and was headed down I think.

      Linked here (Panthers Mailbag) and as always, subscription required. FYI: There were a few other answers (re: Dowdle, Mays) quoted in Juan's thread. I won't bother reposting them here. Just click on over here if you wanna look. (formatting / editing is my own, highlighting some things that the board has been talking about) ______________________________ Starting with the big one, what's gonna happen with Bryce: To be sure, it’s been a choppy season for the third-year quarterback. Every time you start thinking Young lacks the arm strength/size/fill-in-other-attribute to be the “guy,” as Dave Canales referred to him after Week 18 last season, he pulls off a Cam Newton-like performance (complete with a dab in Atlanta). ...while the Panthers would like to see more consistency, Young has continued to ascend, as Tilis put it. After ranking at or near the bottom statistically among QBs his first two seasons, Young is now closer to the middle of the pack. Just as importantly, with four games left, Young has already surpassed his win total (6) from his first two seasons. Then there’s the clutch factor: Five of Young’s seven victories have come on game-winning drives, and last week he surpassed Josh Allen as the youngest QB in NFL history (at 24 years and 128 days) with 11 game-winning drives. The decision to pick up Young’s fifth-year option before the May 1 deadline — at an estimated $26.5 million, per Over the Cap — is an easy one, considering the top 11, highest-paid QBs all are more than $50 million a year. The question is whether the Panthers want to make Young the next member of that $50M club, and if so, when? Canales, Dan Morgan and Tilis will weigh more than just the next four games, even if Young plays well and the Panthers end their seven-year playoff drought, when considering an extension. Young and the Panthers have taken another step forward this season. If that ascension continues in 2026, his payday is coming. ______________________________ Another questioner asked Person to describe current locker room culture: Like a lot of coaches in a new spot, Canales tried to bring in good “culture” guys to help him establish a standard of what’s expected in terms of effort and attitude. It helped that several were already here. Not coincidentally, three of them have been signed to extensions since Canales and Morgan arrived in January of last year: Derrick Brown, Horn and Hubbard. Horn’s growth as a leader and his recommitment to offseason training to try to avoid injuries have been striking. And Canales deserves credit for maintaining his energy and positivity despite slow starts in each of his two seasons. ... So are the Panthers winning because they have a good locker room or is the healthy locker room a product of the winning? It’s probably a combination. But moving on from veterans who were either bad teammates (Diontae Johnson) or who weren’t the right fit for a rebuild (Jadeveon Clowney) was beneficial. ______________________________ Next, whether the weaknesses in the Panthers pass rush a scheme issue or a talent issue: Per Pro Football Focus, the Panthers have been the NFL’s worst pressure team since 2023, when Evero arrived in Charlotte. Over that same span, the Panthers have the NFL’s seventh-highest blitz percentage. So it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. That would suggest personnel has played a part. Evero hasn’t had much to work with since 2023, when Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu combined for 13.5 sacks. ... Morgan hasn’t spent big on a free-agent pass rusher since trading Burns to the Giants in 2024. He brought in D.J Wonnum, K’Lavon Chaisson and Clowney last year, before adding Patrick Jones this past offseason. Wonnum, who had four sacks in eight games last season, has none in 12 games this year. Jones recorded one sack in four games before undergoing a season-ending back surgery in October. The Panthers drafted a pair of second-day, SEC edge rushers this year in Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen. Evero needs more. The list of free-agent pass rushers isn’t deep, but it is headlined by Trey Hendrickson and Jaelan Phillips. At a minimum, Morgan should take a long look. ______________________________ One other tidbit: Person sees "no chance" of Canales giving up playcalling duties.
