Matt Forte seemed to do just fine with the same O line. Don't confuse poo pass blocking with being the same on run blocking.

Forte only ran well out of two back sets (which skewed his overall numbers). When forced to deal with strictly the O Line and the TE's he was slightly worse than mediocre. Let's also take into account he is a much better back that Taylor was, even compared to when Chester was in his prime.

As far as Taylor, in 2009 in Minny he averaged 3.6 yards per carry. This last year? 2.4.

Barf.

Cardinals are hurting for a RB.

I would say Taylor is a better option than Tiki Barber or Clinton Portis at this point.

it wouldn't fix the fact that their Oline is not very good either. Warner's quick release just made that unit look better than it really was

23 seconds in. :D

This is a Mike Martz offense, man... "two back sets" are just about the rarest verbiage in that scheme.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
