On all three throws, he had a clean pocket.  I just hope we can give him a lot of clean pockets this year.

The pass rush will be ferocious until teams remember CMC is also on the field.  A couple well timed screens/draws will take that deep pass rush right out of them.  
 

If all goes well, defenses will have to stay home just to keep McCaffrey from 200yds a game.

CMC will help, but I think until we see what the Oline can do, the main thing will be to get the ball out fast.

I guess it would be 18 out of the last twenty or so.  In fairness though, almost half of the had Tom Brady in them, so it does skew the results a bit.  

And Peyton, Big Ben and Patrick Mahomes. But that’s the point. The post stated 99% of the teams play in Super Bowls have the best offensive lines and 1% is due to the team having a HOF QB. In reality, it’s the other way around.

Great point. CMC is our best weapon against our offensive line being overwhelmed by the pass rush.

I hope Brady calls one early against the Jets to give them something to think about.

For all their struggles Friday, perhaps the block blocking play may have been on that TMJ screen that went for paydirt

Pittsburgh brought the blitz all day and at times like in that series we picked it up.  If Darnold will use his checkdowns and CMC is one hell of a checkdown, I think he can do well against pressure. He slides well in the pocket and should improve his audibles as he gets more experience with the system.

Baldy has always been a respected film analyst, and he doesn't gush over everybody he studies.  Darnold's velocity and location on those 3 throws couldn't have been any better. and apparently, the second, to Marshall, was an audible.

Efficiency in scoring TDs in the final 1-2 minutes of a half is how games are won.  We certainly didn't see that last year.

Is the audible surprising? Who did Marshall play for at LSU for a year? 

Also, Darnolds throws in this game looked better than any single game I saw with the Jets. Even these preseason play calls make Adam Gase look like he should be the QB Coach for the UNC Tar Heels or something. Seriously, Sam didn't have to improvise to be good on Friday. It always seemed that his highlights in NY were improvisation.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
