The new bosses tried the same blueprint for the oline as the old bosses and got similar results 🤷‍♂️

The new bosses have tried to put out the dumpster fire left by the old bosses.

Unfortunately they couldn't fix everything in two offseasons.

Sack, hits, and hurrys  can be a bit misleading because some teams have more or less pass attempts then others.  


That same table has a pressure % number that accounts for that.

We are actually 8th worst in the entire league based on that.

 

If you actually look at the table you would see that I added the number of attempts and completions just for you. 

Pressure % is useful but HIDES important data.    Pressure % adds sacks, hits and hurries together, as if they are the same thing.  They are not.

You have to factor in number of attempts also or just the individual numbers lose contect.  Lets put it in practice.

Lets look at your way:

Saints 7-12-9 (sacks, hits, hurries)

Falcons 8-20-11 (sacks, hits, hurries)

You could make the argument the Saints are better at pass protection.

Factor in the number of attempts, pressure percentage.

Atlanta 22.7% which is 14th in the league.

Saints 26.4%, which is 23rd in the league.

Saints are way worse.

Stats without context are useless and often misleading.

LOL You Ignore all the other stats and just look at pressure% and then talk about context... that leads you to the conclusion that the Falcons have a better line the Saints.  Unfortunately the Falcons have a much shorter pocket time and the Saints just have a QB with a very high TT.

You honestly believe the Falcon's line is better than the Saint's OL?

Read.  The. Chart.  I included attempts.

Your desperate search for ONE number like PFF, or in this case pressure% to evaluate causes you to reach bizarre conclusions.

I put the the number of attempts, completions AND YARDS on the chart so you CAN see it in CONTEXT. 

I know in your mind pressure % includes ALL context.  It doesn't.

         Sacks <> Hurries

        Pressure% does not include pocket time.

         Attempts <> Yards

I'm not saying pressure % isn't useful....its better than pff, another single number you worship.

Yes but we are just getting started. The blueprint is out now dude. Hopefully Brown and maybe Christensen. 

 

You keep saying we are an 8 win team. So you have to use anything you can distort, to make yourself feel better.

 

It's one thing for the "Blueprint" to be out there. It's quite another to be able to actually execute said blueprint.

If you have already decided the Saints OL is better than the Falcons why are you even looking at stats?

The Falcons might not have the better perceived OL, or better OL over the past few years, but based on the stats you listed, they have played better during a small 4 game sample.

I'm not looking for a magical single stat, I just said on the chart that you listed the single best metric is pressure %.

Do you not agree with that?  If you don't agree with that which single stat do you think is better?

This is patently false.  These stats include pocket time.

The ironic thing was that we did establish the run.  For most of the first half, we were getting 5-10 yards per attempt.  

Agreed, but with our OL, we need to stay out of obvious passing downs as much as possible.

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage  the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however  …and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year  the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young  I wish I felt better about him but I don’t  Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former  Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
