The line played good enough. I think Erving did better than I expected. We can still call out a player that didn’t hold blocks well. Darnold did a great job avoiding pressure (Teddy would have been sacked on some of those plays) CMC had to make something out of nothing a lot. Serious question though (I honestly don’t know), does Davenport not normally start for the Saints?

You're right, Davenport started against the Packers.  

Payton Turner was their first round draft pick.   I assumed he'd start opposite Jordan.  I was wrong.

Darnold not being touched doesn’t mean our guard played great. Darnold has been great at quick reads/passes and pocket awareness (aside from getting drilled while tossing that pick) in spite of our line play. The interior didn’t look like it was doing that good of a job, our coaches and QB just adjusted accordingly.

Yep. How many deep shots do we have in two games. One? Two?

Better question, how many should the Panthers have with Robby and DJ while CMC is taking attention?

I suspect once teams adjust, have a guy who can contain CmC (the Jets didn’t have anyone close and Saints didn’t either due to Covid) in check and play man, forcing that line to block it won’t be pretty.

Teams aren’t going to be putting an LB on CMC all year long.

How does ripping on OL-men get us another winning season?

Because they didn’t play good? I mean what’s the concern? Are they going to come on the Huddle and get their feelings hurt? It’s an issue that needs to be addressed on what is looking to be a solid roster.

Fans are recognizing we have defensive talent that could get us into a postseason berth if we play our cards right. The weak link position groups will continue to get the most attention for now. Especially with the offensive weapons we have. I know you do not like criticism but it isn't going anywhere and I assure you it is the same with other teams regardless of what you might read on message board remember fan is short for fanatic.

Mitchell Schwartz is going to be an interesting guy to look at should he decide to play next year. He'll have had extra time to recover from back surgery and was playing well up until going down. Wouldn't mind bringing him in to compete if we can get a fair deal put together for both parties.

Daley has not looked like the guy that flashed early in his career so far...  but, I'm hoping that has more to do with constantly moving around.  Ideally, this allows him to cement himself into the starting role, get comfortable, and mesh with the guys around him.  I hope he takes advantage of this and we can just keep Elf on the Shelf.

You're welcome.

I just hope they come out of the game in one piece.  The last think they need is to lose more olinemen.

The jets invested a first rounder last year and a first rounder this year on their line.   They are players who huddlers had on their draft board.  These are good players.   Both started week 1.  They brought in Morgan Moses with a high PFF to play RT.  

Zack Wilson has been sacked 10 times.

When we do invest in a day one lineman, the huddle will say its the wrong one and will scream, you idiots, WE knew which one pick.  

Before the season, PFF said we had one of the worst lines in football.   The Panthers OL is not performing as the worst line in football.  The OL is exceeding expectations.   Instead of giving credit,  the huddle is nitpicking whichever lineman performed the worst last week.

This is a waste of time.  Haters gonna hate.  I just wish they'd spend more time hating on other teams players.
 

 

I agree that our O-line probably isn't as bad as a lot of Huddlers think, same was true last year, but you can't just judge an o-line off of sacks and pressures.

Sacks and pressures are not just O-line and D-lines stats.  They are products of the QB and OC also.  WR's and the secondary also have a huge influence on them also.  How many sacks happen after a QBs first read is covered?  

Fact is our system and play calling is very O-line friendly.  Just because our offense if functioning somewhat well that doesn't mean our O-line couldn't improve.

Turner was not even active for game one, he got nuclear hot days leading the draft. Went form a 3-4 rounder to 1st. I thought he flashed some and looked strong. Iants still have a great DL. They have been ranked right at the top five for years....ugh. If you look up numbers Cam Jordan is the #1or2nd DE best for the last few years, he has no weakness against run or pass. Numbers are equal or better than Mack on many stats. Panthers OL did great and held them in check.

Just have to call the signing for what it is and that's just not good unfortunately. We are on the hook for a 7 million dollar cap hit with him next year and 4.6 million in dead cap if we move on. We took a gamble but we must be more tactful in the future with injury prone linemen.

WHAT??! That much money?? Cot dammit

    • If he doesn’t say it’s about money first and foremost then it doesn’t really matter what else he says. The international games are not good for the players or teams or overall product as far as quality of game. Same for Thursday night games. And they clearly start the scheduling process by looking at which games/teams/storylines they can make the most money on, then the rest of the schedule just gets shoehorned in from there.
    • Ask around on here to see if someone is selling…ie a PSL Owner!
    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
