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

Wait what?

[GOAT]

all of the comments about how Teddy would get killed behind this line are aging very well.

[BrianS]

This is what good coaching looks like.

Evaluate the line.  Nope, not super talented.  Ok, let's get the ball out fast so they don't have to hold up for long.

Fast decisions and passes.

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

True, but even when Teddy has held onto the ball I've noticed he's had time. Impressive job so far.

Never would've thought it was possible that an OC could scheme around a subpar offensive line after having Shula's trash here blinding us for years.

[Mr. Scot]

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 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.

Watching the Chargers last night gave me so many Rivera/Shula flashbacks
