We have to keep James Campen at all costs. He was my FAVORITE coaching signing in the offseason. Dude is proven as an elite offensive line coach.

Hell of a coaching move and I wonder whose idea it was to bring him in and I bet it wasn’t Rhule

Baldy does a nice breakdown on the effectiveness of the Panthers run game against the Lions.

Dominance from the o-line is the true reason for their success. Beautiful stuff.

Helps the Lions were nickel for most of the first half too - arguably put they should have at least added an extra linemen or linebacker down and focused in on the run for more plays than they have.

But even so, just goes to show how dominant the offensive line is and can be. Absolutely physical and punishing all the way through. Love to see it.

It’s a beautiful thing to see. This may be the best o line we’ve had in team history. Top 3 for sure. Also, yes they were in nickle a lot and that’s when we gashed them, but we also made them pay as soon as they brought another guy down to the tune of a bunch of big passing plays from Sam. McAdoo called a great great game plan. Gotta give credit where credit is due. That was Bens best game of the season by far.

I was as happy as any to see our dominant run game but as many posters pointed out, how much of that success was on the total failure of the lions D?  Huge holes at point of contact, missed tackles and leaving safeties to seal off.  It was a joy to see but can we count on that level of ineptitude Sunday?

I hope this team can put together back to back performances like that and not pull another steelers or bengals game this week in Tampa.  Signs point in our favor with Tampa banged up but they still have some weapons on D and I can't see them playing as anemically as the lions did in that first half.

Campbell acknowledging that they stayed in nickel even when Carolina was going 2-TE was confirmation of the head-scratching decisions they made throughout the game. Carolina's TEs are worthless in the passing game, and they've been feasting at times on the ground, so why not make Darnold and the TEs beat them through the air? Whatever though, Carolina absolutely rolled them.

David and White [Tampa's LBs] are among the best linebacker duos in the NFL. If we can run on them, we can run on anybody.

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
