In pressure per play - Carolina ranked 15th in the NFL per Pro Football Focus and did it without a lot of bodies.

Respectable job considering they have been viewed as being more of a run geared OL.

Clausen took a sack a staggering 27.73% of the time when pressure was applied.

Another example showing horrific QB play makes an OL look much worse than it is. 2010 - good D, good ground game, good OL, elite WR....and a coach with a system to help aid average QBs get results. Clausen was garbage and didn't fit......Hurney didn't hire a staff where he fits. After a poor preseason, they should let Moore have his spot for the 3rd spot.

Lets see the thread about OL run-blocking. Then we may have something to talk about.

we had a run game in the top half of the league with defenses loading up to stop them b/c of having the leagues worst passing offense.......the run blocking was the same as it was the past 2 seasons. Started slow and was pretty dang good.

***BREAKING NEWS***

This just in... Jimmy Clausen sucked last year...

I'm pretty sure that everyone on this board already knew that it wasn't our line's fault that he couldn't hit wide open targets!

No, there are some on this board who repeatedly post Tom Brady couldn't of had success in this offense last year and Jimmy was doomed.

My thing about Jimmy last year is that he started ten games and threw three touchdowns. Those were, in order: The deep ball to Stewart in NO that was under thrown and almost didn't get there, the play action pass to a wide open Jeff King against Arizona, and a garbage time touchdown against Atlanta on the last drive of the season.

I'm fine with a rookie struggling, but his successes were limited and long between. I saw virtually nothing that rookie season that portends long term success.

stats?

You've got to provide some proof to the claim that our run game last year was anything close to what it was the year before.

13th in total rushing yards

10th in yards per attempt

that was WITH the 32nd ranked and worst passing attack in the NFL with teams only worried about the run hurting them.....AND with our best RB going on IR.

You really want to argue the run blocking was bad? It started slow yes....but it was that way in 2008 and 2009 as well. You can't run in the 2010 enviroment with poor run blocking....Carolina ran well all things considered.

only thing limiting the run game was the nonexistant threat of a forward pass downfield thanks to Jimmy.

Provide some proof it was bad.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
