watched the first two drives (will zip through the rest later)

Liked seeing Bryce have some time in the pocket. Yes, he overthrew a few players - but was that an issue with Bryce or blown coverage or something else?

Liked seeing the refs call a Roughing the Passer on the Giants. Can't recall the last time Carolina was on the beneficial end of a Roughing penalty.

Based solely on the few plays I watched -- things looked significantly better than last week.  Are there still improvements to be made? YES. Did we make progress this past week? DEFINITELY

I actually like some things that DJ Johnson did. He made a superb one-on-one tackle on the Giants QB off a play action bootleg that I’ve seen many players miss. If he misses that tackle the Giants QB is still running.

Blackshear has been mentioned and I agree, I really like his shiftiness. He seems to have a lot of twitch and his vision and burst seems to be better than Hubbard’s.

I also thought Deion Jones played well, he had some nice sticks at the LOS and generated some pressure on the Giants QB.

And finally I was impressed with the Giants inability to line up onside for the duration of the first half. That was an amazing display of either not giving a fug or having no idea where the actual LOS is.

One player I was not impressed with was Eric Rowe, guy is not twitchy at all and was getting eaten alive on post routes. God help him if the receiver doesn’t run in a straight line causes he’s toast.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
