That was an absolutely clean hit. Chest to chest, didn't touch his head.

We only run zone blocking on about 55% of plays. Wilks used it on about 35% of plays. I think the play Icky just allowed a sack on was gap assignments and not zone.

What scheme could we run that would help him do a straight forward 1 on 1 block against the DE?

haha misses 2 easy wide open throws, then threads a needle. Wild.

Because we don't try to block field goals. The d-linemen up the middle do half hearted jumps and hold their hands up, but we don't even rush off the edge to try to block anything like winning teams do.

Bryce jumping when he throws the ball made no difference to whether Sanders should have caught it. He hesitated awkwardly and held out his hands, the ball hit his hands, and he dropped it.

Sanders looked like a toddler trying to catch that. Rolled off his palms.

Receiver bobbled it as he went down but that was a fantastic throw.

The constant runs up the middle for no gain is exhausting. Physically painful to watch.

Bryce is so tenacious on those runs. Looks 6'3'' shrugging off tacklers

Don't forget to be mad at Filterer. The coach was brought in because he has a system and philosophy they wanted to bring to Carolina. It becomes the GM's job to sign people the head coach needs to fit into that system. Asking a head coach to change the scheme he was specifically hired to implement is necessary because of our situation, but shouldn't be.

The perfect time to send a message that you're serious about improving the o-line is 2 weeks after the trade deadline.

I noticed he was doing that a lot less lately, wonder if they told him to stop, or if Brown was calling plays he thought he didn't need to get out of.

Hope you like runs up the middle from the shotgun for no gain on 1st downs.

I'm all for bubble screens and the style of offense we run, if we had the personnel to run it. We don't, everyone can see that, but the coach stubbornly refuses to adapt. When it's to the point that idiots like media talking heads and fans can say "they're running agility based zone blocking with large power linemen" but the coaches keep doing it, there's a major problem. That seems to be the Panthers curse (or a problem with coaches in general). The Panthers always seem to end up with coaches who have an idea and then sink or swim with the idea, and never adapt to circumstances or things not working.

I've watched CJ in one game this year, when he played the Panthers, and Bryce played much better than CJ.

Mingo saw the ball in the air and slowed up. Mother of God.

That was a stellar throw to a blanketed receiver despite the drop. He's gonna have to keep doing that and just ignoring that all of his receivers are fully covered.

3/4 of our d-line was laying on the ground on that play. Bryce would have 300 yards this game if he was on the Bears

I watched it this afternoon that's why he was fresh in mind, it was wild.

Most of the replies are things like "Poor Bryce" and "Bryce deserves better than this" in stark contrast with the Huddle that thinks Bryce needs to be able to thread the needle to his #1 WR Boogie2988.

If it makes you feel any better, reads 2-4 were not open either.

'it doesn't matter how bad the team around you is, just play good' is truly not how it works in the NFL. Look at Trevor Lawrence. People were willing to write him off after his rookie year. Then they put some pieces around him and got him a good coach.

Remember the days in like 2008 when you could name every player on the team to a depth of like 6 people on the chart? Who the fug is Mike Strahan

What changed about the team from the past weeks that people are expecting Bryce to suddenly be able to perform? Did we sign some new WRs and OTs or is Bryce still having to throw to blanketed 4.65 second 40 receivers with 1 second of pocket time? We're not going to see any real development until the team is built around Bryce. This year is already over.
