Ekwonu is an All Pro guard playing LT. His foot work and lean after his kick are tearing up his ankle. BC is a better pass blocker that gives the QB a consistent pocket and passing lanes

Great disguised blitzes. Rare

This starting 5 OL is good in the run and pass. A couple issues at center, but covered up well by Hunt & Lewis. Having a pocket a QB trust and lanes any RB could stack up the yards helps a lot

Glad to see the Panthers can gash Burns with the run too. He's always been a pass rush specialist

Evero with the great defensive scheme. Drew up that cut back lane. This defense needs to go.

Bryce is safe when tied or having a lead. It's when the Evero D implodes and Bryce has to be an NFL QB that he self destructs.

3rd and 10+ 40/65 61.5% 11 converted for 1st. 16 sacks. 1 int. 6.5 yard average. 4 runs for 1st down

Bryce needs to get better at delivering to the hot receiver on a blitz up the middle

Yes. Boone is on the practice squad.

OL doing so well and then a false start to kill a drive. BC is firey out there. Looks like a vet OL leader the Panthers need. Let Ekwonu take his time coming back.

I didn't say BC would start at LT here. Panthers going to Panther. He will be a better pass blocker than Ekwonu no question

That OL was impressive. BC is going to start at LT when this season is over

Great blocking run and pass. Could have driven a truck down the field and Bryce was able to stumble near the GL and still have time to recover in that great pocket.

Great block by BC

I'd trade Bryce for Jones

Did Bryce give Burns a free sack?

This is what a good situational change of pace RB gets now? He's not an every down feature back for 4 years.

5 to 10 touches a game until mid December then 10 to 15 for the rest of the way.

If Morgan keeps collecting Texas talent for the offense, I will fully expect the Panthers to go after Manning.

First, Hubbard is a GOOD change of pace RB. He is not a top 15 playoff caliber every down RB. It's completely wrong to believe he can carry a team to wins in a full game and control the clock. So, how do you explain the Washington game where he killed 2 of the 6 drives in the 1st half? 7 runs of 1 yard or -2 yards on 12 carries. You call that consistent? He's ended how many opening drives with his consistent running? Atlanta game with his -2 yard run, his 0 gain in the flat against Chicago, and his 1-0-0 runs against the Bengals. Hubbard wasn't even productive on the TD Drive he scored on against the Saints (runs of 1-6-2-0-1). That was JT Sanders drive bailing out the running game. He's a change up back to catch a defense off guard. The final TD drive where he had 1 run in the drive after the passing game set him up for a 16 yard TD run makes this clear. Hubbard needs the passing game and a strong run blocking OL. He needs 115 yards from the passing game on both those TD drives. On the 3rd TD drive against the Saints, Hubbard had a 6 yard run and a 0 yard run. You'd cheer his stat line for those 3 TD drives of 8 carries for 32 yards (4.0 ypc) and 2 TDs. He lost on 4 of those 8 carries. He did not anchor any of those drives. He won on 61% of his opportunites. That's equivalent to a QB completing 50% of their passes. Stop looking at garbage stats and see how he factors into a meaningful drive. How many drives is he responsible for ending? How many drives does he carry the load? I'm not saying he isn't good, but he isn't a feature back. He's clearly a change up and 1st down RB at best with significant weaknesses as an every down RB. Here are his 9 opening drive touches. 4-7-3-Punt (Young), 5-3-Punt (Tremble), 4-8-6-6-TD (Dalton), 6-0-0-3-1-0-0-Turnover (Hubbard), 5-0-Punt (Tremble/Hubbard), 4-(-2)-Punt (Hubbard/Ekwonu), 4-6-1-Turnover (Miles/Hubbard), 8-7-(-2)-13-TD (Young), 5-Punt (Miles). That's 3.75 yards per touch and he was responsible for 4 failed opening drives. This is a prime example of an inconsistent RB.

I see Canales and Morgan having to prove to Tepper the rookies are better than his players before demoting them. A long process instead of Tepper simply getting out of the way, but it's working. Now, let's shake loose Miles. Get Brooks starting over Hubbard behind this OL. Trade away Bryce. Toss Evero and all his pet players. Sign BC to play LT and move Ekwonu to LG. Getting there slowly as expected with Tepper as the owner.

Hubbard is big runs or bust runs. Can't get the 1st downs in short yardage situations. Can't be a consistent 3rd down back in the flat. Considering the run blocking OL he has, he's not as good as he looks from just his highlight runs. My hope is that he makes a good change up back to Brooks.

Did Bryce show up like Dalton against the Raiders? Dalton is still the better QB for the development of XL, Coker and JT Sanders. Bryce is still not where he needs to be and doesn't trust the offense like Dalton has. Canales seems to struggle more on the sideline with Bryce in the game too compared to Dalton.

Helps when your LT isn't sitting in your lap, giving up the inside, or losing leverage from the outside on passing downs. The pass pro and pockets looked good today.

Taking a shot at BC in a pie thread? BC deserves your pie. Serve that man a piece of pie and smile at that pocket Bryce got today. In fact, give BC an entire pie. He's going to get bags of cash with his pie.
