Cam Erving

[RumHam]

Can someone explain why he was in? Moton sucks but this guy quickly reminds you of the upgrade to moton, who is clearly the weak link this year and shows just how historically bad it was under rhule

Panthers have been using extra linemen to jumpstart the running game since Steve Wilks took over. when Erving is in he's usually the 6th or 7th lineman on the field. see Cade Mays at fullback last couple games. it's just to get better matchups in run block, that's it. get that 6th OL to block a linebacker at the point of attack. that's all.

that's what i was going to point out. a big part of the reason they have been so successful with the run game is that they put the added beef up front. Front 7s are just overwhelmed.

Those extra linemen in on a semi-regular basis are making a huge impact on the games, no pun intended. We are just clobbering the other d-line and linebackers with them.

And sooner or later, one of those big boys is going to sneak out on a pass play since they are having to report in as eligible receivers every time. Just the possibility of that puts some weird wrinkles into defending us.

Like Penei Sewell did yesterday on a key third down for Detroit.

Moton sucks? He is our most consistent lineman this year.... he has only had one bad game and that was against the giants when he was nursing a knee injury. 

Also, if you were able to focus on the games you'd notice that Erving has played about 15-20 snaps per game over the last 4 games. Once Wilks took over he brought in our jumbo packages.

This is more than the old jumbo packages. Maybe these are the mumbo jumbo packages?

So funny what people choose to notice out of all of the great stuff that happened yesterday. I've also felt that Erving played terribly for us last year, but using him as the extra lineman has worked great since Wilks started doing it. I also noticed him congratulating and cheering with his teammates yesterday, especially the younger guys. He seems to be a good mentor, and one of those guys who will do whatever he can to help the team. He's been great in his current role.

Erving got beat really badly on one play that I remember but other than that he seemed to do his job pretty well. He is perfect for this role, not good as a starter.

The team loves Erving as well. He is a big locker room presence.

He absolutely caved in Bruce Irving and the right side of the defense line one one play. RB was able to bounce right behind him for the 1st down. Love the extra lineman plays.

WE'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO WORK WELL!! WHY?? WHY, I ASK???

Yeah, I watched him on the sideline in LA. He was doing this then too. No problem with it.

You are an absolute moron if you think Moton sucks.
