Cam Erving

Panthers have been using extra linemen to jumpstart the running game since Steve Wilks took over. when Erving is in he's usually the 6th or 7th lineman on the field. see Cade Mays at fullback last couple games. it's just to get better matchups in run block, that's it. get that 6th OL to block a linebacker at the point of attack. that's all.

that's what i was going to point out. a big part of the reason they have been so successful with the run game is that they put the added beef up front. Front 7s are just overwhelmed.

Those extra linemen in on a semi-regular basis are making a huge impact on the games, no pun intended. We are just clobbering the other d-line and linebackers with them.

And sooner or later, one of those big boys is going to sneak out on a pass play since they are having to report in as eligible receivers every time. Just the possibility of that puts some weird wrinkles into defending us.

Like Penei Sewell did yesterday on a key third down for Detroit.

Also, if you were able to focus on the games you'd notice that Erving has played about 15-20 snaps over the last 4 games. Once Wilks took over he brought in our jumbo packages.

This is more than the old jumbo packages. Maybe these are the mumbo jumbo packages?

So funny what people choose to notice out of all of the great stuff that happened yesterday. I've also felt that Erving played terribly for us last year, but using him as the extra lineman has worked great since Wilks started doing it. I also noticed him congratulating and cheering with his teammates yesterday, especially the younger guys. He seems to be a good mentor, and one of those guys who will do whatever he can to help the team. He's been great in his current role.

Yeah, I watched him on the sideline in LA. He was doing this then too. No problem with it.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
