Why we need Wharton to be in better shape right now.

Gettleman: We are confident in our offensive line.

 

IMO, that's just a PR line to try and sound confident for the fans while giving the guys here a vote of confidence. Behind closed doors, I'm sure they would love to find an upgrade.  But when looking at who is available, they probably don't see anyone that would be any better than what we have.  So they might as well try to put a good face on it and make the guys here feel like they believe in them...even if it is only a façade.

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.

 

According to ESPN he ran up the middle 23% of the time or almost as often as the other two directions he ran.

i stopped using espn for stats a long time ago. even basic stuff like yards would be wrong.

williams never blinked at the middle of the line. everthing went outside of the guards.

Well in this case they're right, don't believe me then go back and watch the four individual runs.

Carolina Panthers: All 16 of DeAngelo Williams carries went outside of the guards. When he ran to the left he averaged 3.3 yards per carry. When he ran to the right he averaged 5.6.

Watch the plays yourself and you'll trust PFF a little less. 

 

 

Actually here is one of the plays in question

 

See where the ball is?

 

 

Now look where Williams is running with the ball

 

 

Directly up the middle between the center and right guard

Enter Marcel Darius and Mario Williams

 

 

Kyle williams is nasty too
