How did Elflein look at center?

Bingo!  If Elf can solidify the center spot, we have 2-of-5 spots settled and can focus on the other three.  BC needs to beef up. I'm not giving up on him yet, not as a guard.  I'm not sure he's going make it as a franchise LT, maybe as a backup LT.

Agreed. TBH, I think we should keep MJ too. If those guys can be solid, we only need 2 more starters and maybe 5 more backups.

Any idea why Brady isn't getting any run right now?  Daley had two holding calls and a false start yesterday, really killed the momentum on a few drives.

One of them holding calls wasn't holding. The defender fell on his own and Daley fell as well. The ref must f thought that Daley took him down which he didn't.

Lost in the mix was how well they performed. Having PJ and Cam back there was really great but the line protected them with the same guys different places. 

Honestly, the sacks and pressure were partly Darnold's fault. He couldn't make quick enough decisions, hence his Time To Throw being so high. Definitely not all of them but he didn't help matters by not being able to hit open guys.

That is why I said PJ would be more decisive(which he had been the past two years) than Sam. Might not be the right read or a safe throw but he is much more decisive than Darnold was.

Darnald is a broken QB. His problems are enumerable but he didn't cause the Center to let lose his man almost every play. That's on Paradis. PJ had actual time in the pocket yesterday and that's not been the norm. Not to mention we punched holes in the Run game and that has zero to do with Darnald.

There was time last week too. There was time when Sam was here. 

Like I said, in hindsight, I expect more and more off our offensive issues are going to end up landing squarely at his feet.

Time will tell.

Elflein was the top Center in the 2017 draft. He won the Rimington Trophy. He got injured and then bumped to guard when the Vikings drafted Bradbury in the 1st. He's got a legit pedigree and has been dealing with injuries and playing out of position for years now. Hopefully he can end up settling in and return to his former self. That would be huge for us. I don't want to see Paradis play another down for the Panthers. Nice guy, just not a good NFL center.

I didn't even notice Christensen was out there at LT for 13 snaps

As with every year since Gross retired, LT is a revolving door journeymen who at best are average and mostly poo.   Daley's penalties hurt more than anything yesterday and the game plan to get the ball out quick helped him.  If we ever want to stretch the field more than a few times a game, this needs to be addressed permanently.  Jordan is playing better as been mentioned.  Hopefully this isn't short lived and he's actually growing into a better guard.

Like I said Sam had nothing to do with the inept run game and that falls squarely on the line. Stop blaming one person for multiple problems. Just be happy there was a solution found.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
