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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
