Offensive Line Is Terrible

[Semaj]

Our OL sucks, period. They all suck badly.

 

That is all I got to say.

Yep.  Nothing more to say other than our worst nightmare and Cams worst nightmare has come true.  That being said, KB was still the right pick.  I just wish we could have made a trade or signed a decent tackle in free agency.  

[Semaj]

I have to admit, seeing Bell give up that would be sack on literally the first play of the game, i chuckled a little bit because Bell's entire career can be summed up in that one little play. Jesus he is so putrid.. Putrid, putrid, putrid

And he and the Panthers front office though he would excel at his more natural position LEFT TACKLE!!!  He was below average at RT, so lets solve the problem by putting him where the best pass rushers attack at.

Its almost like they have a UDFA playing LT, a converted DT playing RT, a guy coming back from an achilles injury at LG, and a rookie at RG

 

haha I chuckled.  

 

Seriously though...maybe we should just throw Foucault and Norwell in there.  Can't be worse than what we have...can they?

[AceMan]

They don't "all suck".

Kalil is still one of the best in the league.

Amini Silatolu is uneven, but overall pretty good.

Trai Turner is a rookie. A rookie with a lot of ability and a load of potential, but still a rookie. He has a lot to learn yet.

Fernando Velasco is a guy who should be a backup/rotational guy but he's starting.

(sadly, that's been a common theme on our OL for a long time)

Byron Bell and Nate Chandler...ugh.

Kalil has been playing below his standards and Silatolu is just as bad as Bell and Chandler....well maybe not THAT bad, but he's been bad

I think Kalil is having to make up for a lot of what's going on around him.

 

No unit on the team requires more chemistry and cooperation than the OL.  One bad cog can gum up the whole thing.

 

Right now we've got two bad cogs, one young cog and one inconsistent cog.

oline is terrible.

 

 

and those rushing numbers, they are just hidden by newton's ability to run the ball. the oline has sucked since newton has been a qb for this franchise. he has no running backs who can stay healthy and real passing weapons except like two.

 

also shula sucks.

 

newton has actually improved in throwing the ball he just has no time. people claim they want to see him progress as a passer but  just when he has to, due to injury, he has no oline.

 

its not like the olinemen just got hurt. they have sucked and gettleman did very little to make sure newton was standing upright. no wonder he is hurt.

[WhoAmI?]

haha I chuckled.

That's what I say. Just throw every O-linemen you have out there for a game and see what you got. There is NO way they cna be worse than our starting O-line. You know what's sad? If we cut all of our starting O-linemen (besides Kalil) today, I bet no one would even pick them up as backups. That's how bad they are.

anyone watch the dallas game? crazy what a good oline does

[Rise of The Hive]

We knew Cam would get pounded but having no running game only magnifies the problem.

[panthers34]

I think the interior line is playing okay.Honestly if the play call was better and cam wasnt so banged up the oline would look better 

[thunderraiden]

Haha, yes they do.  Good news though; we wont be cap raped like the Taints are going to be after this year.

 

Yes we are...

Bench CAM until he can run again. Cam is making the oline look bad by not workin in the pocket. Start Anderson an see a better oline

[WOW!!]

Gettelmen gave Chandler a contract this off-season.

That is all.

[WOW!!]

You are dumb as fug.

Stop posting.

Chandler got beat so badly today DA wouldn't have made it to halftime.
