Offensive Line struggles

Them stunting is to generate pressure. Bryce holding on to the ball for something to open up downfield allows those stunts to develop and might be a viable strategy to be used against him if his college game translates to the pros

It would be fair criticism if that’s what actually happened. Those stunts happened so quickly the receivers didn’t even break yet and when they did, Bryce delivered but got hit.

Hopefully that clarifies what I meant a little better than I originally worded. Did not intend to imply that Bryce holding on to the ball was why pressure were happening. It was only to point out that because he'll let things develop that defenses will be able to take those opportunities on obvious passing downs.

And I would be OK with that,  he will have to check down more than he wants to

Didn’t we also forego a practice this week due to weather while the jets practiced indoors? These guys are a week a head already given the hall of fame game. They’re on their best behavior with hard knocks sniffing around. We came out unprepared against a hyped up hungry team. This should be a teaching moment and it’s on the coaching staff to get prepped for next week.

Damn I forgot we have to relive this embarrassment on the next episode of Hard Knocks

I put this largely on Chubba, he seemed unable to do anything on the ground to back off the pass rush, and they just started t-ing off on the qbs… I feel us not having a bruiser back will be felt

Don't know how you can blame Chuba, the O-line got zero push. Kevin Patra got everything right:

"The struggles of the offensive line undercut Young's debut. Despite playing four starters, Carolina got no push in the run game, and the QB was regularly pressured. The right guard spot is a clear issue, at least until Austin Corbett returns from the physically unable to perform list. The Panthers rotated the RG position during Young's three drives, with Michael Jordan giving up the sack."

With what we saw ,, what the coaches saw  Saturday ,,   Bryce Young's  snap count probably will be cut in half .  Can't afford for him to be hurt in preseason.  We all realize our # 1 running back was not playing, as well as low snap counts for many starters.   Matt Corral will be given much more time to try to impress coaches because of the O Line.  And he did not look good at all.

Not so sure. Since they cut the fourth game, Preseason Two tends to be the "dress rehearsal" game where the starters play the most snaps.

Depends on whether we follow that script, I suppose.

I don't think the starting OL all of a sudden went to poo.  I think they didn't put in much effort. I hope this is a wakeup for them. The backups that played most of the game would never see the field in any non disaster situation.

    • The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity, not just lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.
    • Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.
    • For a WR, 6'4" 220 would be decent size--if you hit the 235 range, I imagine that it costs you speed. I think his speed was an issue. He ran a 4.48 at his pro day. At the combine, he weighed in at 219 (NFL.com).   Mike Evans weighed 225 as a rookie and is also 6'4".  He ran a 4.53 40.  My main and only concern about TMac is between his ears--and it could be nothing.  He seems a bit silly, and it seems that he is in celebration mode when I want him to be in "let's get to work" mode.  Again, some people are just like that, but when they put the helmet on, they get focused.  I want to see that "dawg" before I get overly excited.  The pick is growing on me, and if you broaden the scope to consider what was available in free agency and the draft, it makes sense.  I don't think we got lesser Edge rushers in the second and third rounds, frankly, than what we could have gotten in the first.
