Honestly I think our staff has a bit of a college mentality.

You recruit kids with good traits and you turn them into good football players.

There is a reason we keep going after these high draft pick free agents who have struggled elsewhere.

 

This.

Dont know the exact traits but with every passing off season I see more. Athleticism plays a major role. 

Evidence: As a whole unit on average I'd wager we're top 10 maybe 5 of athletically gifted DT's in the league. Could probably say the same at DE. 

Not so much at Oline.

Also: The ones that are average are more than likely multi position guys.

If you think of our defense, every one of our starters can play more than one position or interchangeable.  The exception would be Horn.

Look Im not a ELF fan at all, hated the signing and repeatedly questioned the player many times. I thought he was the 2022 paradis replacement. 

Soooo very low expectations. I thought he did "decent". He combo blocked, released and got out the two level. In space blocking LBs and CBs, most OL whiff and ELF did that a couple times. He also pulled and was used in the screen game. I except Qwilliams&Srichardson to have career days going against ELF&paradis. They held their own to my shock. One flag on CMC 1st down hurt a little, still not bad

Well.. It can't be any worse than the 32nd ranked pass protection grade we received from PFF this week. 20% pass protection win rate this week, in other words the ability to hold your block for 2.5 seconds.

What Meyer is really saying is they are far enough along to replace the trash we have in place at the moment. 

We could be in for a very long season, CMC was the big reason Sam didn't take more hits. He's either open or making a block. If our O-line doesn't improve its play, we will consistently see CMC getting 30 touches a game and when Sam doesn't have the time to push the ball ball down the field, we will realize this was the same issue Teddy Bridgewater had last year.

If this team can get consistently league average pass protection, it will be a dynamic high scoring team. Sam needs more than 2.5 seconds 20% of the time or else this team becomes dink and dunk and pray for CMCs health for 17 games.

I don’t understand why coach’s think his arms are to short to play LT. him and brown dominated when they were in there together during the preseason which they should because they were going against backups. You can either play LT or you can’t what he lacks in arm length he makes up for with Athleticism.

does anyone know what Brady pass rush win rate was during in college stint…it was the best in college .8 %

When Fitterer walked into his office he had 2 major problems to fix: the defense as a whole and the o-line. They saw the defense as a bigger problem because if they couldn't stop the run and get off the field on 3rd downs the offense wasn't going to have many chances to score. It looks like they fixed that and did what they could for the o-line. Who looked better than I thought they would, Sam was sacked once. Part of the equation, of course, was CMC. It's a work in progress and I appreciate any progress they make including the rookies.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
