We are going to agree to disagree.  Lastly a guard plays on offense, a defensive tackle plays on defense, so the hurry would be by the DT, not the guard.  Just a FYI there.

I bet you had to google that.  BTW guards are on the INSIDE.  And there was no pressure even as he turned to run into his RT who also had his man blocked.

You are funny.  I'm not the one who TWICE said "being hurried by the guard".   I let the first slide until you started to get snippy.

The hurry would have be assigned to the guard.  You seemed proud to know your positions.  I don't want to ruin it.  Good work.

You have to be able to catch zips in the NFL.  Defenders close gaps fast. 

Back in the day when dinosaurs walked the earth, I played a little secondary in high school.  We prayed to the football gods for the occasional fluttering duck that allowed you to jump the route.  It made even marginally talented players like me look better than we really were.  And the cheerleaders were impressed.  Good times.

They were.  They were.

Yup, the RG is getting beat and PJ is rightfully getting out of Dodge to the right.   The problem is he turned and there is a battle right in front of him so he hits the gap between backside guard and tackle before making the pass.  You do know when a guard gets turned perpendicular to the sidelines, he's beat, right?

Not trying to stir a turd, but I don't think that the pocket was collapsing in this scenario. To me, it looks like PJ just steps forward to give himself a better line of sight (he is short for a QB) and, more importantly, to let Marshall get more open. The DT DID turn Brown, but he actually never gets around him (that's a lot of man to get around). In fact, he comes up lame after the play.

Either way, PJ does a great job keeping the play alive until his WR breaks free.

This...

Only if you gave the O-line more praised, SBBlue would approve it ...

Imagine if that was Darnold, the talk would be he's elusive, look how he maneuvers and the pocket, to let his blocks develop...

It was the same for me...but I was in band.  But I did play the drums so that was cool.

Some great memories.  We had a really good marching band, cheerleaders, majorettes.  The concessions sucked but that was a problem for people in the stands.  Saturday night, it was the place to be.  Some great memories for a simpler time.  Cheers!

So I went to 3 Colts message boards to see how their reaction to their backup line play was.  I was expecting them to call them trash, or garbage, or how their QBs were getting killed or running for their lives or how their GM/coach didn't value the line because they had no depth on their offensive line... you know, like huddlers do here.

Nope.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
