There was one sack, 0 interceptions and 0 QB fumbles in our 1st preseason game.

I was pleasantly surprised with most of the game honestly.  First preseason games usually feel much uglier to me.  The offensive in the redzone and the offense on third down were the two biggest negatives that were something we struggled with last season.   I'm excited though, all the young guys we have been hyping up and hoping to see play well since the draft and all through camp pretty much played solid at worst and stood out at best.

The backups to our offensive line did NOT get our QB killed as some predicted.   You know who you are. 

They are both alive and well, last I checked.  PJ wasn't sacked at all and Grier was sacked once for 2 yards.  Neither turned the ball over AT ALL.   No ints and no fumbles were caused because the offensive line failed to do its job.  Was it perfect?  No.  Was it the horror show that some predicted...NO, far from it.  I don't have the pressure numbers, if anyone has them, I'd love to see, but from watching the game, I'd be more worried about their backup offensive line than ours.

This doesn't mean our offensive line is great, but I think its ok to say the offensive line was not trash yesterday.

 

Grier handed the ball off almost the entire second half or attempted a few short passes.  The last pass attempt, the only one with any significant distance, was a pressure.  PJ had to run out of pressures several times.  The OL penalties were embarrassing.  Scott even got yanked.  Stats don't lie, but they don't tell the entire story either.

I'm not saying the OL was awesome. They were decent.  I'd love for he full pressure numbers, if you know where go get them.  I

The predictions around here were that the QB would get "killed", and that they were backups to TRASH.

Is that how you would describe yesterday?

It was better than I anticipated but it was definitely sloppy with penalties and PJ's mobility saved the offense on more than one occasion. There are some things to like moving forward but at the end of the day these were backups playing backups and Carolina will undoubtedly be seeking any upgrades to their oline depth that they can find once cuts begin.

I'm fine with that.  Its preseason.  But it just seems every time he takes the field, there's a new excuse.  I hope if he sucks next week, that we cut the cord.

I mean he hit Ishmael Hyman in the hands on third down and he dropped the pass, that would've extended one drive. Then a 3rd and 2 became 3rd and 17 because of the OL, 3rd and 2 definitely would've been easier to convert. Just inserting a bit of logic into the discussion.

They survived without looking horrible, penalties aside.  I seriously doubt we we sitting on a one score lead by running the ball, that was a function of not letting Grier getting pummeled.

Honestly, if Darnold goes down, I am on the phone to P. Rivers and see if he wants a curtain call.  He recently said he would consider the option. 

If I recall the story correctly, Rivers said he would consider it for a contender. I certainly hope we're in a contending positon if we need to call him.

Which pass attempt was a pressure?  I'm not saying it wasn't, but which one are you referring to?

PJ sometimes fled a clean pocket that was still holding.

I'm not saying our O line was awesome, but the way people talk around here and  considering we sacked, hit, and FF  on the Colts who are considered to have a good line, I think our line was decent yesterday.   It certainly deserves some kudos from people calling them trash.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
