QB Hits Allowed By Team So Far

Our OL has been better in pass pro than run blocking so this isn't too surprising. Figured we'd be 10-20 range, 8 definitely better than I'd have thought but we could still use several upgrades on the line. Also, you need to take into account what offensive systems teams are running and how many times teams drop back to pass which definitely affects these numbers. Our system is meant to get the ball out of the QB's hand faster so that helps our numbers out here.

Yep, our OL had been pretty solid this year, despite the claims of some around here.  Best our OL has been in at least five if not eight years.

Yeah, that is Brady's scheme. He is far from perfect but he does design most of his plays to protect the QB behind that weak ass OL.

 

Also, our run blocking has actually been quite good this year. We just don't run an offense that takes advantage of that.

We are 22nd in the NFL in Pass Block Win Rate, that shows that our OL has been bottom tier at pass protection. That stat eliminates the scheme and lays bare the poor overall performance.

I'd be interested to see pressures. I don't feel the OL has been as overall bad as some make it sound (bad at times though, for sure) but Teddy deserves some credit here for moving around as he does.

I think the most interesting stat is that we put in so many qb hits/sacks on the team with least amount in the league.

PFF rates us as #15 in the NFL in Pass Blocking.

PFF has us ranked #8 in total pressures allowed.

Hard to believe that stat when watching games. Hell, i had us pegged as the worst line ever.

We have had a lot worse performing OL's in recent memory.

That’s if you believe “espn analytics”. I believe what I’ve seen watching 25 years of Panthers football and compared to what we’re used to, the line has been pretty decent this year. Teddy went from decent pocket presence the first three or four games to standing there watching defenders walk their guy right into him.

According to some posters on here we have the worst line in football and shouldn’t sacrifice picks on any other spot!1 

 

Little dose of reality that the guy behind center is more of an issue than anywhere else.

It’s either A) Teddy checks down too early before the play develops or B) the O-line has been solid. 
 

Y’all can’t have it both ways.

Nobody has said teddy checks down before the play develops. He just checks down because he’s extremely risk averse especially in crucial situations.

the oline needs to be better. It’s not horrific but it’s not great. I’d settle for good. It’s not there yet.

Actually you kinda can.  Sorry.

Sometimes Teddy does check it down too soon, pretty much impossible to argue that.  Sometimes the OL gives him a good pocket.  Look no further than the missed TD to DJ against the Vikes.  You are unlikely to see a better pocket . . . ever.

Sometimes our OL looks trash.  Sometimes it looks ok.  This is actually the definition of the problem.  They are inconsistent.  You can't base an offense around a line that can't consistently win their blocks.  I don't think we need a dominant OL to win, but we do need a consistently decent one.  Once you establish that the entire field is attackable by your offense, it makes the opposing defense work much harder to defend you.

I know we like to say Teddy can't throw downfield, and that is the truth.  Unfortunately, the other truth here is that sometimes we just don't block well enough to allow those downfield throws.

We are a young, inconsistent football team.  That's who we are.  I expect it will improve, just not as quick as some would like.
