some good offensive line news...

I don't pay much attention to PFF, but at least they can keep snaps.

#Panthers rookie Brady Christensen this preseason: 55 pass-blocking snaps 0 sacks allowed

[1of10Charnatives]

This is a good start. I'll admit I was not a fan of waiting til the 3rd to take Christiansen and grabbing Marshall in the 2nd because I consider the OL need for this team right now extreme. But if Christiansen turns into a quality tackle and Marshall turns out to be as good as he looks so far, I'll eat crow and admit it was shrewd drafting.

That is some crow I would be more than happy to eat.

Wait....do we like PFF now?

I do not think we see Brady right away--but we will see him by midseason.  We need 2-3 OL on rookie contracts, imo, to use the cap where we need it.  At the moment, none are, and they are not that good.

If we can get Brown and Christensen in the lineup, that bodes well for the next 3 seasons after this one.  I personally think, if Daley steps up and stays healthy, we can be good on the offensive line this year.

We only admit begrudgingly that they can probably be trusted to track reps. 

Err snaps.

Snaps and reps.

Snapreps.

No, we still think they are crap.

In this case however, all they had to do was count.  I will begrudgingly admit that they can probably count.

As long as they have a calculator.

And a pocket protector.

Their stats are fine. Their interpretation of stats is poo.

I cringe to go all “Huddle realist” for a second…but we’ve technically only allowed 3 sacks all preseason and so the vast majority of our o-linemen have allowed 0 sacks lol. I’d be interested to see the pressures. Christensen I bet has the most or nearly the most pass-blocking snaps of all our o-linemen and he certainly passes the eye test, so not trying to take anything away from him. This just feels a bit incomplete as far as a statistical snapshot.

Lol…of course

I personally like PFF. All metrics have flaws. The curious thing is anyone who bitches about it on this forum for some reason can’t seem to point to a better source or metric

I’m still waiting for that better source with perfect metrics

as for the topic I think at his worst he’ll be solid depth. Just an opinion because preseasons means jack, but this is good

Panthers O-Line was at their best when they had Norwell and Turner on rookie contracts. Just having 2 cheap quality starters could turn many things around.
