Gettleman: We are confident in our offensive line.

 

Williams averaged 5.1 ypc and the line allowed one sack and one hit on the quarterback. Overall those are pretty good stats for this patchwork line. Seattle's defensive line was not 100% but these are better numbers than anyone could have predicted before the game.

Williams avoided the A gap all game. That ypc is going to go way down if that continues.....opponents will have an easier time with him if he is that predictable.

They did a decent job of run blocking, but as mentioned, the A-gaps were always filled. DeAngelo made some tough runs, but couldn't get the 2-3 yards we absolutely needed on 3rd and short a couple of times (although part of the blame is shared by DeAngelo's questionable decisions on which lane to use). 

 

Pass blocking, yes Cam only got sacked once, but he was hurried and seemed intent on getting the ball out on short, quick throws. I think part of the reason why we didn't attempt many deep shots is because the O-Line is in such shambles (obviously another part of it was Seattle's secondary).

 

Don't forget that Seattle was missing two of its three best pass rushers in Irvin and Clemmons.

If we want him to block shifty linebackers, he needs to be much faster. Smith blows right by him and gets an arm on Deangelo.

 

Bell (lying on the ground) Also gets man handled and his man finishes off the tackle.

 

Hate to break it to you but Wharton is a couple/four weeks away from being in relatively good condition. 

 

Trust me, I know all about ( or at least my mirror does) overweight, out of shape guys that attempt to do something that is above their physical limitation. It never ends well.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
