#11. CAROLINA PANTHERS (UP 3)

Projected Week 15 Starters:

LT Ikem Ekwonu
LG Brady Christensen
C Bradley Bozeman
RG Austin Corbett
RT Taylor Moton

  • No line has allowed fewer total pressures than the 71 the Panthers have given up over the season.
  • No starter on the line has a PFF pass-blocking grade below 67.2 for the year.

So we're #11 despite allowing the fewest pressures, and with our run game performing how it is? Wild.

Yes. Do you know how rare a good oline is? #11 out of 32 is about top 30%…that’s very impressive. I think one more year keeping them together could prove a top tier oline. 

Oline is the second most important aspect of a winning team aside from defense and even ahead of an elite QB. If you watch the top oline teams like the eagles and chiefs, you can tell they’re on another level than the panthers.

I still see a few bonehead blunders every game and that’s probably keeping us out of top 5 but this ranking is about where I would rank them.

age is key, 4 out of 5 are younger than 27. 

the other huge key is control- those same 4 are all under control for the next 3 years.

I still remember my talk skip holtz. I asked him what was his number 1 goal when he took over a program- "fix the OL"

You can control the game with a elite OL and you dont need a elite QB or elite RB/WR to get elite results. 

finesserererererer needs some praise for doing this via both the draft and FA allllll within 2 years.

A great o line is definitely rare and it's pretty awesome pff even considers us 11th, just surprised by the stat snippet - I wouldn't really have expected so few pressures, but as stbugs said we don't exactly have many pass attempts.  

but sacks given up aren't all on the OL. All our QBs have def given some up at times.

Funny how much better this oline got once Elflein was benched. Of course Fatt Fhule didn't realize Bozeman was like five times better... Just add that to his laundry list of fugups for us...

I already thought Rhule was a clown, but that Center battle in camp during a QB battle was the most baffling poo. I gotta imagine it's because Rhule wanted Elf the year before and Fitt picked up Boze without Rhules consent to upgrade and Rhule was like woah woah woah a heheheh oink oink I'm the Head Coach buddy

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
