I hadn't seen this discussed yet and think it is actually more significant than any other injury we have this week.  Hartsock is by far our best blocking TE and we use him very creatively in the run game to open up nice lanes.  A big question that Shula will have to answer is can Brandon Williams fill in (earlier in season he was overwhelmed blocking) and make some nice blocks or will we shift away from 2 TE sets.  That could mean more 3 WR sets?    Thoughts?

Hartsock is one of the best, if not the best run-blocking TE's in the league so his absence is significant... lets hope Brandon Williams can pick up some of the slack. Williams certainly has the build to do it, and he's had plenty of time to focus on his skills. 

 

Brockel will be able to fill in as well... and if you were ever going to be without your best run-blocking TE this is the game, Pats are ranked 30th in rush defense.

How bad or good was Williams blocking last you saw? I know he was raw but I cant gauge where he was at.

 

Man, some dudes dont improve at all. Gettis hardly got better after 3 years. Coordination thing? Idk.

      How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

      ProFootballFocus: NFL Week 16: Rookie Team of the Week

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
