I agree that our O-line probably isn't as bad as a lot of Huddlers think, same was true last year, but you can't just judge an o-line off of sacks and pressures.

Sacks and pressures are not just O-line and D-lines stats.  They are products of the QB and OC also.  WR's and the secondary also have a huge influence on them also.  How many sacks happen after a QBs first read is covered?  

Fact is our system and play calling is very O-line friendly.  Just because our offense if functioning somewhat well that doesn't mean our O-line couldn't improve.

 

Personally, I am more concerned about run blocking, or lack thereof at this point in the season.  Right now, we are bottom five in the league in ypc, even with CMC back.  Of course, the Saints have a very good run defense, and the Jets run d wasn't bad last year.  But we don't get much push, especially in short yardage situations.

I'm right there with you on that. They have to get the run game going and fast.  It will open up so much more of the offense and help Sam exponentially in the passing game.

I agree.    We schemed  to get the ball out quick which is OL friendly and have the best RB in football who still get yards when there is no hole.    We also max protect for deeper drops like on the Robby 57 yarder in the jets game.  We know our OL isn't the best and we scheme around it.

I'm not against upgrading the OL, even mid season. 

I'm just trying to give props to OL for two pretty good games that exceeded expectations that resulted in two wins, especially after the huddle has denigrated them for months.

If don't have holes to run on Thursday, I'll be very disappointed.

I wouldn't say disappointed, maybe concerned is more appropriate from my perspective. 

The run game is crucial to the success of this season in my book.  Both establishing it to stopping it.  The rest should take care of itself, theoretically.

      Brother, you don't end up 32nd in rushing defense accidentally. It takes work.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.
