Well, that’s crazy.

The Panthers run blocking lately has been significantly better - so much so that they could be the best in the NFL.

Before game 8, the Panthers were deep bottom in yards before contact, but afterwards they reign supreme.

 

Is this where I bitch and moan and complain that Saca made a post? :tongue:

Good oline play isn't as simple as putting 5 capable linemen on the field. 

Our IT has struggled adjusting to our system and Cam. 

Our probowl center has missed most of the season. Which also affects the play of every other lineman. 

Larsen is a capable backup, but he is not long term solution. 

Guys were getting better, but execution was inconsistent throughout the offense. 

Kalil came back, and the line immediately improved. 

Every week they play together, they will continue to improve. 

Life in the NFL, thrives and dies through the o line.

Besides Stewart's run I believe Cam was untouched on both his big runs this year.  Those always help an average.

I won't comment on KB being a good or bad blocker but I don't think it is a total coincidence that we are better after he left.

I have always said that R. Kalil is the glue to our line.  We are far better with him than without him.  

In all honesty as long as we continue this pace I could really care less of how it happened as long as we keep putting more points on the board.  Our defense is going to hold most teams to less points than we are scoring (as of late)

    • As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.
    • I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense. 
    • No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
