LT:  When the former college C and professional backup G went down, we replaced him with Offensive G Daley. 

LG:  A good run blocker, Jordan is famous for being the guy in Cincinnati who whiffed on the block that led to the Burrow injury that ended his season in 2020--and he is named after a successful basketball player.

C:When Paradis went down with yet another injury, the Panthers resorted to a Baylor Bear who was not pursuing an NFL career until Rhule convinced him to join the Panthers.  A practice squad player turned active roster by default.  Remember, Elflein has experience at C and I think he was active. (not sure)

RG: A backup T.  So we had a G playing LT and a LT playing RG.  And everyone was OK with that?

RT:  Moton.

Any questions?

 

Yes, I'm curious why they did not try Moton at C?  I mean every other guy was a bad fit for the spots they were playing.  Why was he left out of the poo shuffle?

Christensen, who we were assured had been graded very highly, played a couple of snaps on special teams yesterday.

That's how bad we apparently are at assessing offensive line talent.

From the coach's room to the front office to the scouting department, Tepper has managed to put together one of the worst organizations in the NFL. We would be the Detroit Lions or the NY Jets if we didn't have some talent left over from the Rivera/Hurney drafts. 

I remember people laughing and pooing when I said if we didn't break five games this year that Rhule would be gone, contract or not. It not only doesn't sound unreasonable at this point, it sounds like a fuging good idea.

 

There is a reason we almost picked him in the 2nd but he dropped to the 3rd.

Wtf in holy hell is going on with the blocking in that clip?  Not a single person effectively blocked anyone there.  Sam sucks and not making excuses for him but what the hell is he supposed to do there?

nothing

its not just the QB that's the problem its the simple people who can only see that and no football knowlege who just keep saying Sam...its all they know

This is what happens when you have a college coaching staff who believes in positional versatility and trying to find a diamond in the rough over watching gametape with their own eyes. I don't remember if it was Brady or Rhule but it was said they didn't even care to bother with game tape when they signed Erving and Elflein. They don't know how to evaluate oline or qb and we are toast because of it.

3 players broke through the line.  2 on the left and 1 on the right.  That was a bust from the jump.  The LT literally doesnt touch anyone.  Godalmighty

Right and you don't need twitter posts either. If you know football and just watch your own DVR or a22 you can see all the issues other than what toddlers know when they put those little kid helmets on watching games with you and be like "durr dat wuz a bad pass" like yea no poo that's not all to talk about.

The LT, C, and RG actually do something there. The RT completely whiffs everything. The LG just... disappears. Does nothing, and all of the protection is to the left, for a play that's a roll out to the right. Something just doesn't add up there.

Part of the blocking my be on the center, as they manage a lot of the blocking, but that's on Sam too. One good thing that Teddy did was pre-snap blocking and adjusting it.

The LT literally doesnt hit anyone all play.  He kindof reaches out a couple of times but thats it.  Maybe that is common in a pass play but I kindof doubt it.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
