Starting OL

The line wasn't that bad given all the blitzing the steers were doing backups or not.  This was a top 3 defense in 2020 so of course we struggled with no gameplanning to neutralize the blitz. But I thought the backs picked up blitzes and as the game progressed the guys started sorting things out.  Were there some wiffs and misses? Did we leave points on the board? Yep.  Of course we have lots of work to do but it wasn't as bad as many here are suggesting.

It’s gonna be a night and day difference in an opposing defense’s gameplan with vs. without CMC on the field for us. Defenses are gonna be more reluctant to blitz, they’re gonna invest more coverage to try and contain CMC (opening up opportunities for other receivers), and if they DO wanna blitz, we’re talking about having access to the absolute best safety outlet for a QB under pressure. You can’t overstate the impact of our absolute best player sitting on the bench for the entire game today.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I would say Erving looked better than expected tonight.

Still not sure I'm ready to trust him as a full season starter at LT though.

He and Moton were the least of the problems with the line tonight.  Both starting guards and center were not very good, and that's being kind.

Paradis? Wellllll... 😕

I've begged for years to draft a guard, center, and for either Little to work out or to finally find a good LT.

here's hoping Brown answers one of those.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
