Tangentially Panthers related - Interesting note on Offensive Lines

[carolina-chuck]

Cowboys oline made that offense what it was

I would love to have that Dallas OL, no kid. But it's a different situation than here.

It's a good move for Dallas if they're really trying to "balance" the offense for this year; pounding the ball. However, it's not a good move if they're going to be the same ole Dallas/Romo/Garrett throwing the ball 500 times a game. Anyone could play OL for Dallas if they are aiming for 400 pass yards per game.

Dallas will only be competitive if they slow the offense down a bit and play Defense which they don't have.

The guy nailed it when he said you can't build a great oline in the salary cap era.

As I'm old enough to remember some great olines, it's actually one of the biggest reasons I hate the salery cap. By they time ya get some guys ya been wanting, or by the time some players develop, you're losing someone to free agency or retirrment. The only oline position worth a first round pick is a tackle that is ready to start day one.

I can go on and on about this subject...

I'll stop here.

Guilty. But, be honest: Have you ever specifically used calculus or trigonometry for anything?

Everyday. Sometimes I just work feverishly on equations for no reason other than I want to make people wait.

I remember reading an article someone here posted that O-lines are not always built by draft picks. That most good lines have very few high draft picks.

That said, it comes down to "want to" and "capability". Some times it just happens. A bunch of guys come together and make things happen. Add in our O-line coach, and I am very comfortable.

You all know I think this team has been good for a year and a half now. And I see no reason that the current group cannot keep the status quo going. Somehow, some way, with Cam, this line should get the job done.

To me it comes down to scheme. Last year Denver had a great year. But they fell apart in the SB. So...it show to go ya that any line can get the job done on a weekly basis. It does change in the playoffs, but by then, any line can grow some kind of continuity. Or at least that is my hope.

We lost Gross. So fugging what. We have 5 guys willing to go to war for our O. I can live with that.

And there were people on this board who still claim getts messed up not drafting a tackle.

I think his draft has out us in a better overall position for success than hurst would have brought us.

Cam has his legs and has receivers who have good hands. This offense will end up being around middle of the pack this year and that's all we need to win a lot of games. The defense is to thank for that. Keeping hardy was the right choice

Don't you know. . . that's how you impress the ladies.

I def believe this.

Wilson was the 3rd highest sacked QB last year.

Can't really remember a SB team that had a dominant OL.

Didnt the Pats have a dominant o-line?

They were together a while i thought.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

The 49ers line disagrees but they were drafting in the top 7 for 10 years it seemed.

I do believe we wil see an impass over Kalil's money in the next two seasons. Drafting a C in 2015 should not be shocking.

They did but that was a long time ago. That defense was a lot better too.

Certain type QB's don't need as good of an OL.

 

 

Usually seasoned vets who are great at reading coverages, and have the trust of the OC and HC to change plays at the line.

 

This team would excel with a better OL.

[Jeremy Igo]

Follow the Broncos 1998 plan.... stout offensive line with anybody at RB. It won't matter who runs thought gaping holes.

it would've made everyone feel better about OT at the time, but the same people would be complaining that a 4th - 6th rounder isn't starting day one.

[Frizzy350]

You need a line that works well together, not necessarily the most talented line. You saw what our dline did to opposing quarterbacks, acting like good oline play isn't important to success is foolish.

I do believe you can obtain a good oline without overinvesting. You need a guy with a good eye for a players potential in the system and how they play off their teammates.

Agreed.

 

If we are going to play with the big boys in the NFC, and I'm not convinced we are there yet, we will need to protect Cam at some point.
