O-Line Gains Some Recognition

Offensive lines usually don’t get the credit they deserve.

But we’ve got an opportunity to, at least temporarily, change that, so let’s put the spotlight on Carolina’s offensive line. The Panthers are this week’s winners of the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award. Named after Hall of Fame coach John Madden, the award is intended to recognize an offensive line that gives its quarterback strong protection and contributes to the team’s overall success.

Carolina’s offensive line did that in Sunday’s 35-27 victory over New Orleans. The Panthers had 219 yards rushing and quarterback Cam Newton was sacked just once and hit only twice.

“When you can beat a team like New Orleans, with a balanced offense of run and pass, you know you have a good offensive line,’’ Madden said.

I'm glad they were recognized for an excellent performance vs the Saints.

I also hope that O-Line keeps showing up...not the one that played the Buccaneers.

new defensive scheme with no real tape to prepare with, in less than ideal conditions.

I don't give the oline a pass for the week one game, but it's pretty clear what the issue was, despite the lemmings saying it was the coaches fault.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
