I think our Oline played well considering the shambles it is in.

 

They opened holes for DWill and NO FALSE START PENALTIES!

 

When is the last time the Line had no false starts?

 

They had 1 penalty for a holding I believe...but not too bad.

O-Line was solid for what they had to work with..... D-Line was lights out..... if we had a clear issue it was our weak secondary. Josh Thomas burned on two straight plays..... Every time our D-Line put pressure on Wilson he found an open receiver. I hope this is something we address next draft early.

I really think Scott has earned a starting job...I've never seen him mess up on a play yet. Sure he had that holding call, but I don't know if I'd even put that on him...that was a weird protection call. They had him pull all the way across the line to block the rusher coming off the opposite edge (I think the announcer called it a "Molly" protection or something?) which is asking a lot of a man his size. It's not his fault he lacked the speed to get there in time, so he had to compensate by holding the defender which was only for a split second anyways...it didn't seem blatant to me by any means.

Now that G-Will is bound to miss some time, I think that paves the way for Amini back at LG and hopefully Scott at RG. Then I actually feel pretty good about our OG depth with Wharton and Byers...never thought I'd say that...

Two starting guards out and they still kept Newton mostly upright and gave Williams room to run.

 

The one caveat to that: Dorsey and Shula are pretty clearly coaching their QBs to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible.  Wise decision behind a banged up OL, but minimizes my OL praise a little.

Line still did what they are asked to do.

 

We should be able to push the ball down field on quick passes....look at Cruz last night for example.

 

Some of that would take anticipation and trust...which may not be there yet with the WRs

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
