National Media clowned us for our investment in the interior oline. Fug them, we’re a top ten oline in the league due to our investment.

Top *1* after yesterday’s game. In pass protection at least, I haven’t seen overall ranking, but they allowed four total pressures again yesterday and weren’t credited with a sack. I remember one was on Jatavion, I don’t remember who the others were on.

The offensive line is the biggest surprise for me this year.  I figured signing two guards wasn't going to move the needle much if we didn't have a center and Icky couldn't play.  But they are absolutely pushing people around in the run game, and doing a great job in pass protection as well.  Austin Corbett looks pretty good, but it makes me wonder if being sandwiched between 2 good guards is helping as well.

We had the perfect storm last year to screw up Bryce for good.  When Christensen and then Corbett went down, teams started stunting and blitzing through A gap.  Bryce could not read it and check down, etc.  He was bait.

Yep. I think they ruined Bryce's confidence. But you can't carry that ish into the next season. Gotta be mentally tougher than that. Andy made maybe 1 pass that Bryce can't make. But he made a dozen throws that Bryce just wouldn't take (attempt).

I don't think Bryce has NFL tools, so it's a moot point anyways.  But I think his regression this year is due to being overly concerned with the pass rush.  I can't remember which analyst mentioned it, but they said his eyes are going down way too fast this year.  That's a death knell for a QB's confidence.

Bryce doesn't have the tools to propel a squad like last season. But this team is completely different. Actually see more new names than old ones. Bryce's regression has been 100% mental. Unfortunately that was supposedly his calling card - being smart and mentally strong.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
