What can be done about o-line?

I don't get why many say the offense (or Cam) is not capable of a scheme incorporating short, quick passes. Just how much skill/talent is required to draw up 10 or 12 such plays and execute them, where six guys are protecting the QB for maybe three seconds max, and he's throwing bullets to guys running buttonhooks, etc. 25 feet away?

It is why the GM and HC both believing in the same thing matters....building toward the same thing. Hurney got RR off to a bad start and now DG is in a tough spot

Rivera wants to run Norv's O....it is what he knows and believes in. That is what we run. To do that you need to be given an OL that can hold up for the deep pass and that can open up holes for a power run game. RR's offense made Newton a good draft pick. His skill set fits.

Am I missing something?

 

I'll be the first to admit and agree that the O-line isn't the greatest but isn't this basically the same line we had last year?  Maybe even a little better?

 

We were 9th in the league in rushing last year.  Yes, I know Cam running was a huge part of that and we do not want to run him that much in the further but with more commintment to the traditional run game and Cam will still get some yards running we're still probably middle of the pack in rushing.  We've got enought weapons to score points.

 

We'll actually gameplan.  So we'll hopfully see more screen passes, slant routes, etc.  Things that allow the o-line to not have to block for 5-7 seconds.  Take advantage of matchup on the line.  Scheme for certain players that are hurting you. 

 

We don't do any of that stuff in preseason.  So, while I agree we could use an upgrade (or two) on the line we're not nearly as bad as everyone is making us out to be.

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
