Okay so, back in training camp it was such a major news story that when they were going to have a sit down with the offensive line guys, Bryce stepped forward and said he'd like to lead the discussion and tell them how they needed to work in this scheme. It was an amazing show of his grasp of the system and the people involved in it, a real leadership moment foretelling how great he was.

They said.

Maybe the scheme is so basic that a rookie without even a pre-game snap was able to explain it. Imagine what a defensive coordinator with years and years of practice and observation could get from looking at it. And then turn a bunch of sack monsters loose with the knowledge that the scheme is that easy to pick apart.

The word we are looking for here is: roadkill. Wide-eyed roadkill.

We were confident that a rookie QB could explain the line's assignments and the theories that went into making up the scheme.  A rookie.

And we're wondering why it won't work.

Yes. A top 6 pick in his second year, a 3rd year guy, a 6th year guy, another 6th year guy, and a 7th year guy couldn't understand it but a guy who hasn't took a snap in the NFL could explain it perfectly. Because it's that simple. 

We run a high school offense. I'm not just being an average negative poster. I watch film and have a decent football IQ. We have a VERY simple offense. We have literally only come out in 3 different personnel sets (92% in the same grouping) and (if i remember correctly) 5 or 6 formations.

when a NFL defense knows what you are doing.....you aren't going to be successful.   That's our story IMO. 

you need dominant talent for the you know what I am doing but try and stop me approach. 

Which it is EXTREMELY difficult to just line up and be better than the other team in the NFL.

That is the core of college football but it doesn't work at the NFL level.

Yep. The Panthers' Oline was built for road grading 1 on 1, not a zone scheme or whatever they're trying to do now.

Don't fix it if it isn't broken. They are trying to be fancy instead of helmet on helmet. The end result is Oline dancing in circles and blocking no one.

In the last game Seattle's D-line rushed the inside/middle of our O-line at least 3/4's of the time. Definitely the entire 4th quarter. And, of course, it worked because of two new, young starters. It gave Andy no pocket, no time and yet he managed to make a record 58 passing attempts. I hope Bryce was taking notes because I expect every defense we face to do the same thing.

You can blame scheme, coaching but a lot rides on you having healthy starters and we haven’t had that so far. Missing Corbett and Brady means the others have to get used to playing with guys they don’t normally play with. That and the obvious drop off in talent is huge.

Team health is no excuse here and it hasn't been for years.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
