i really believe carolina's defense and rushing attack are going to steal the show this sunday and cement the panthers into spotlight for the rest of the season. 

 

 

 

Panthers Run Game

The Panthers’ left side of the offensive line have all graded +4.3 or higher in run blocking and add in Ben Hartstock who leads all TEs with a grade of +12.7 (+12.0 in run blocking). When the Panthers have a Point of Attack from middle left to left end they are averaging 4.2 yards per carry compared to 3.8 yards from the right. The 49ers’ best run defender this season has been the cast off from Kansas City, Glenn Dorsey. He has the fifth-best Run Stop Percentage for DT/NTs this season at 11% and will be relied upon to try and cause Ryan Kalil some difficulty. Kalil is having his best season since 2009 when he graded out as the second-highest rated center.

 

When the Panthers try to run right, they will be facing the second- and third-highest graded run defenders the 49ers have to offer. At left end, Ray McDonald has a 7.9% Run Stop Percentage, with OLB Ahmad Brooks outside of him with the fourth-highest 3-4 OLB Run Stop Percentage.

 

While the Panthers have managed to stay balanced in where the point of attack is, they have had more success running toward their better run blockers, which will give them a distinct advantage over the 49ers’ defense. The 49ers have given up over four yards per carry when runs are attempted to the left while giving up less than four yards when teams run behind the right guard and right tackle.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10

      QB School: Bryce Young vs Falcons

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.

      Mock Draft from the 33rd Team

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
