Pasquarelli high on Cadogan

It is much easier to teach a player how to run block than it is to teach them how to pass block. On is more brute strength while the other requires more balance, good footwork, etc.

That is similar to the idea that is easier to teach a good pass catchig TE how to block versus trying to teach a primary blocking TE how to catch the ball and run routes.

Negatory. The reason that Cadogan isn't a strong run blocker is because he lacks motor and his passion for the game is questionable. It's pretty much the primary reason why a strong technique pass blocker with immense size and smarts became an undrafted free agent. There really isn't a lot of explanation needed after that.

Jeff Otah is the antithesis of Cadogan. He was a mauler who came into the league with immense strength, great motor, and a high level of passion for what he did. We took that desire to get better and improve and we turned him into a player who is VERY strong in the run game and at the very least sufficient in the passing game too. The basis for that improvement? The desire to improve. His heart is in football. Can we say the same for Cadogan?

Truth be told, run blocking is more cerebral than pass blocking. Pass blocking is mostly reactionary for tackles. You take a step back, see where the pressure is coming from, and defend the face of the pressure. You're the passive participant in pass blocking and that's why most offensive linemen hate it. You respond to pressure as opposed to creating it. If your cover takes a step out wide, you take a step out wide. If your cover goes for the inside move, you go with him. Get your hands on him and negate him. In the running game, you become the aggressor. If you've ever heard former offensive linemen talk, they LOVE playing football on the ground because they get to go after people as opposed to sitting back in a passive stance and responding to what comes at them. We run a very complex run blocking system in Carolina and a very basic pass blocking system.

:iagree:

Cadogan seems to be quite intelligent and will be a good teammate but it does seem as though his talent surpasses his desire with regards to football. I want to have a good feeling about his chances because I think the O Line has some solid personalities (namely Gross and Kalil) that will help him transition to the NFL.

The ball is in his court now and at this point it is a no loose situation for the Panthers. Could prove to be a very good pickup

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
