Panthers offensive line named league's ugliest

[Mr. Scot]

Okay, not really. But they did win an award.

Yasinskas: Carolina offensive line gets high praise

The Panthers have been named the NFC’s winners of the weekly Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award. A yearly winner of the award for best offensive line will be announced during Super Bowl week.

The performance of Carolina’s offensive line in Sunday’s victory against the New York Giants certainly deserves high praise. The Panthers helped Jonathan Stewart rush for a franchise-record 206 yards and the team finished with 247 rushing yards.

More importantly, the Panthers did it without their two best offensive linemen. Starting tackles Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah are out for the season with injuries. The Panthers went with Travelle Wharton at left tackle, Geofff Schwartz at right tackle, guards Keydrick Vincent and Mackenzy Bernadeau and center Ryan Kalil and were able to dominate against the Giants.

So a little glory for the Big Uglys

And while I'm at it, kudos (again) to O-Line Coach Dave Magazu.

and people said we had no oline depth

When Jordan and Jeff went down I thought it would get ugly (in a bad way) but they've done an admirable job over the past few weeks.

Magazu should be priority when his contract his up, we need him.

Congrats! And here's to o-line depth for next year!
