Oh good god, anyone here on the huddle would have had a 20 yard gain there too. 

With respect to the team, it's just one play but man, looking like that off-tackle/edge defense from years past on that one.

or...maybe investing in the O-line is paying off? Canales did say that he wanted to emphasize the run this year.

first thing I thought was we didn't set the edge.  Watched again, Clowney was there but Icky pushed him out of the lane.  Icky is really good in the run game.

Naw…I would have dusted Bootle down the sideline and made a house call!

It's impossible to say anything definitive either way based off of one play in shorts beyond that Sanders and 'explosive' are two words that don't typically go together, which is why I worded it as I did. That said, Clowney did get trapped upfield (and looked a bit unhappy about one thing or another at the end), the guard did a god job of stopping and then getting around the DL to move 2nd level, the MLB sucked in/was a step late/got caught by the guard getting around that corner, and the lane created was a great one that any Huddler would have gained yards from as opposed to Sanders being 'explosive'. 

It's the exact type of defensive look that Carolina has deployed and been giving up yards in for years now. Will be interesting to see how things play out when everyone is in pads and going full speed.

Of course, I wasn't trying to throw shade at your comment. Just giving a different perspective on just a singular play. We've seen Bryce connect with DJ Chark last year in training camp and thought it was a premonition of things to come for the season but look how that turned out. But I guess Chark did have the most TDs and long receptions compared to our other WRs.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
