How good is the Panthers offensive line?

[TheSpecialJuan]

#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.

i need to check myself, i agree with pffffffffffftfftt

Re-signing Bozeman will no doubt be a high priority

It helps when you don’t have a speed bump at LT

Well according to the resident Darnold worshipers, we have a trash LT that causes Sammy to not be elite.

Maybe there are fewer attempts for pressures since we are barely passing now? I wonder where our pressure percentage ranks?

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.

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...

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.

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
