pff 3tfo: panthers @ 49ers


Recommended Posts

pff article...

 

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.

    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
    • I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you? 
    • As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
