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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
