Our OL has been better in pass pro than run blocking so this isn't too surprising. Figured we'd be 10-20 range, 8 definitely better than I'd have thought but we could still use several upgrades on the line. Also, you need to take into account what offensive systems teams are running and how many times teams drop back to pass which definitely affects these numbers. Our system is meant to get the ball out of the QB's hand faster so that helps our numbers out here.

Yeah, that is Brady's scheme. He is far from perfect but he does design most of his plays to protect the QB behind that weak ass OL.

 

Also, our run blocking has actually been quite good this year. We just don't run an offense that takes advantage of that.

Yep, our OL had been pretty solid this year, despite the claims of some around here.  Best our OL has been in at least five if not eight years. 

We are 22nd in the NFL in Pass Block Win Rate, that shows that our OL has been bottom tier at pass protection. That stat eliminates the scheme and lays bare the poor overall performance.

I'd be interested to see pressures. I don't feel the OL has been as overall bad as some make it sound (bad at times though, for sure) but Teddy deserves some credit here for moving around as he does.

PFF rates us as #15 in the NFL in Pass Blocking.

PFF has us ranked #8 in total pressures allowed.

That’s if you believe “espn analytics”. I believe what I’ve seen watching 25 years of Panthers football and compared to what we’re used to, the line has been pretty decent this year. Teddy went from decent pocket presence the first three or four games to standing there watching defenders walk their guy right into him.

It’s either A) Teddy checks down too early before the play develops or B) the O-line has been solid. 
 

Y’all can’t have it both ways.

Actually you kinda can.  Sorry.

Sometimes Teddy does check it down too soon, pretty much impossible to argue that.  Sometimes the OL gives him a good pocket.  Look no further than the missed TD to DJ against the Vikes.  You are unlikely to see a better pocket . . . ever.

Sometimes our OL looks trash.  Sometimes it looks ok.  This is actually the definition of the problem.  They are inconsistent.  You can't base an offense around a line that can't consistently win their blocks.  I don't think we need a dominant OL to win, but we do need a consistently decent one.  Once you establish that the entire field is attackable by your offense, it makes the opposing defense work much harder to defend you.

I know we like to say Teddy can't throw downfield, and that is the truth.  Unfortunately, the other truth here is that sometimes we just don't block well enough to allow those downfield throws.

We are a young, inconsistent football team.  That's who we are.  I expect it will improve, just not as quick as some would like.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
