Shout out for the offensive line coaches

[Jmac]

To tell you the truth, I thought this patched up group would be destroyed. They have gone far beyond what should be expected. They have kept Bryce on his feet  pass blocking, opened holes for the running game, and have been excellent. This team wouldn't be winning without them. Hats off to every coach that has contributed to the success.

Keep pounding

Amen and amen!  Rico is phenomenal but the OL coaches are doing a masterful job of scheming up a gameplan for each opponent.  When do they get a game ball?

[kungfoodude]

Honestly, most of these guys have really stepped up. We have the most different OL combinations in the NFL this season.

It has really been fantastic how they have performed.

Can’t argue with it. I thought they were going to struggle hard in Green Bay. 
Instead they kept everything in good shape. Outstanding. 
The game planning is helping them some, OL love to run block.

Yes, the O line hasn't received nearly the recognition it deserves given how integral it is to the offense. What the coaches have done is simply amazing and is a huge part of the Panthers success. Hats off to them!

Yes, but kinda only mostly yes.   So I said it a while back both here and on twitter.  If you have a bad O-line, the answer is simple. Run. The. Ball.  Pass blocking is a FAR more difficult thing to do.  It requires high IQ players understanding blocking assignments and where rush is coming from.  On the flip side, if you have a bad O-line, RUN THE BALL!  It simplifies the game plan for them.  instead of trying to catch where pressure is and playing with great technique, you can just so "See guy, hit guy", hat on a hat, hard nose football.  The More I watch, the more I also do give huge props to rico because he is so explosive.  He's a one cut and go guy where as chuba is a more patient runner in the backfield, and when we had great O-line play last year, it works AMAZING.  Rico hides meh run blocking because hes off before the defense has a chance to try to move the blockers.  its just incredible explosiveness from him.

So as I said, its great coaching by the O-line coaches, but its also great understanding by canales to just grind and run and great job by our banged up unit to keep performing at a high level.
