The thing about OL is continuity. First of all, they are learning a new offense. Second, they are subbing guys in and out like crazy. At least Friday they let one set get more than one drive together. Third, Brady has looked pretty overwhelmed the last two weeks going against some premiere defensive tackles and add in Ickey's brain farts as someone put it. Lastly, again for the cheap seats, they are being crazy vanilla and I know winning preseason games are very important to fans, but scheming also takes in account the line shifts as well as the protections. Give this group some time to get fully healthy and gel. RG will look a lot better, Ickey will get some chip help, and there will be a game plan! Go to the hot mic thread and read how David Newton was caught talking about putting out bad OL press for clicks.

I don’t think it was that bad. I remember stats of how Darnold was holding the ball towards the top of the league in terms of time. Icky went a long time without giving up a sack and that’s who people seemed to be concerned with. 

Most people had high expectations for Icky as a top ten pick. He was asset more often than not. Generally the thorn for us has been interior pressure. I don't expect that to drastically change.

BC has been a pleasant surprise plus Corbett should be back soon. Bozeman is more than capable at C, but I wouldn’t be against trying to get Bryce a long term solution there next year to develop with him.

      I believe in bryce...

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
