Olsen tries to calm down the chicken littles

he can talk all he wants, but that isn't going to make the OL look better. they have issues and as long as they have issues keeping cam upright, the whole team has issues.

is the OL better than what they have shown? prove it.

Exactly right

one on one they look like trash. 

They look no different than against the Steelers....hit them in the mouth and it’s over 

if NE had wanted to against our first string, it could have been much worse 

Aaron Donald against Paradis.  I know who I’m taking

It appears the players hear the whispers. If the oline doesn't look good now, I don't expect to them to look good in the beginning of the season. We play Aaron in the 1st game.

Olsen reassuring fans isn't going to just magically make the o-line play better week 1. It's not even about scheme, our o-line has been getting individually manhandled this preseason. Yeah, it takes time to gel, but Cam could be hurt by the time they get it together. I swear if we let Cam drop back 7 yards every pass play against the Rams week 1, Rivera needs to be fired on the spot.

man the trenches are one of the few things that translate from the preseason to the regular season. if you are having protection issues and problems getting to the QB in the preseason they aint going no where when the season starts. 

That assumes our line is stable and established. When you have several guys learning a new position and o e is your center calling protections there is a significant learning curve gelling with this line.

When players think about what to do instead of react they will be unsure, slow and look bad. Once they know what each other is going to do they look much better.  And if Cam drops back 7 steps every time that is on him not Norv. He had the ability to change any play and control the protections and audibles.

you don't have to be a chicken little to notice that the QB is falling. it's pretty stinking obvious, same with the reason...the OL sucks.

No gameplanning, new center, 2 or 3 series against a team all out blitzing. Yeah if you put too much into that you are a chicken little. It's pretty stinking obvious.

The way some of our fanbase acts as if everything Panthers is infallible and anyone expressing any concern is to be dismissed as a negative Nancy or a hater, you'd think we were stacking rings like the Pats or Steelers.

While others see everything negative  and anyone who supports the team or thinks things will be okay are labeled homers and nut huggers.

Thank you Mr. Superfan. You're such a better fan than any of us, knowing when to put on blinders and tow the company line and all that....avoiding objectivity and critical observation at all costs. What would we ever do without your fan-expertise?

So we shouldn’t be worried based on what we have seen so far... they’re running vanilla offense and they look terrible doing it.

Olsen also said there isn’t a magic wand you can wave and make everyone play better

  Who are these people that see everything negative. I mean everything. Because that is the only way their opinion loses credibility. Just like thinking Everything about the team is always the right thing ruins any chance of getting an unbiased observation from that person. Or does that only work one way for agenda purposes? Awful convenient.

Don't know why all the negativity. Who said I was better than anyone else? I didn't. In fact the other day I said I prefer to be positive and optimistic but that is me and I speak for myself. No one else 

I just don't agree that objectivity or critical observation has to be negative. We all see what we want to see

I didn't say everyone was negative, I simply said if you are positive and optimistic  posters here call you a homer. Just like you have called me the other day. Again,  believe what you want and think whatever you like.  It doesn't matter to me and I don't care what other folks do. I state my opinion which apparently isn't the popular one these days.

Exactly it is called the preseason. He does it every year in August.
