Why The Panthers Offense Was Abysmal Week 2 - The Impact Of Losing Ryan Kalil

Vincent's already made himself one of my favorite analysts from the roaring riot report. In this breakdown, he goes over Cam's rust issues, the offensive line and the lack of communication that existed, and Shula's playcalling, leading to a lot of things going wrong.

Once again, read the whole article. It's got a lot of stuff. The one thing I want to highlight is just exactly what went wrong with our o-line: losing Kalil

Blocks in the Road
The offensive line play last season was, to be frank, absolutely abysmal. While injuries certainly didn’t help, if the Panthers cannot show a marked improvement this season then they will have significant difficulty in avoiding long third downs and probably worse.

There are times in the red zone when teams simply have to be able to punch the ball in. Some of what goes on in the above play is due to poor technique or lack of power; Greg Olsen shouldn’t be blocking defensive linesman on goal-line runs; but a lot of it has to do with communication.
This play looks as though Stewart should punch the ball in by running behind Ryan Kalil and Williams over the left guard. Matt Kalil and Norwell do a decent job of clearing out the left side, and Funchess does a good job of sealing off the edge rusher. However, Turner fails to hold his block and Stewart is forced to bounce the ball outside.

While Turner’s missed block is an issue of technique; he sets himself too high and is driven up; but the more significant issue it the apparent lack of coordination. Williams doesn’t seem to know who it is he should be blocking and as a result doesn’t end up effectively blocking anybody. If Turner makes his block, then a seam could have been created by Williams pulling behind him and helping Ryan Kalil to clear a seam.

These apparent communication issues were certainly not aided by Ryan Kalil’s injury before the Bills game. On the first play, Matt Kalil just completely fails to block the edge rusher allowing quick pressure on Cam and so prevents the easy completion to McCaffrey. While this might look like ineptitude on Kalil’s part, something that cannot completely be ruled out; it is far more likely to be a failure to communicate responsibilities, with Kalil thinking that McCaffrey was meant to be blocking the edge defender.

The communication issues manifested in the run game as well. On this play, Williams makes a nice block on the pull and while Kalil largely whiffs, that should have been largely inconsequential. What actually prevents this play from being a much longer run and possibly a touchdown was Larsen’s failure to push up to block the linebacker. He looks uncertain as to his responsibility and as a result ends up allowing the crucial tackle.


Communication issues like this should be fixable with reps, but the return of Ryan Kalil will hopefully go a long way in terms of assignments.

---------------------------------

Again, biggest thing comes from lack of solid communication. As everyone know, Ryan Kalil's the main guy to help steady the offensive line and ensure everyone knows their assignments. His leadership and directing is key to the success of the offensive line. With him back next week, this issue should be fixed rather well.

Once again, read that article. Highly recommend.

    • I didn't say much bigger. Watch the highlights I linked. Bryce doesn't have the arm strength and/or talent to make the vast majority of the throws Mac made in that video. 
    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
