Peppers, Jenkins, Gross, Wharton

How much worse are we without any of them?

 

ready for Wharton to go.

 

I think I'm missing Henning. Does another year and another tackle make this blocking scheme work?

 

Not much. Jenkins is making the most good plays, but the rest of the time he's ordinary. Always been like that some. Either brilliant when he guesses right, or just another DT. Peppers makes a brilliant play, and is less than ordinary. I'm willing to give him another year because he may be sick. I'm not sure what to think about Gross.

 

why? You're getting Henning with a dash of TE thrown in now. As far as the O line goes, no it won't.

 

before last year, I liked Wharton run blocking and he was good enough to pass block non-elites. After the injury, he's been OK, and he seems healthy, but I don't see the run blocking in him and he's regressed a little pass blocking.

 

I think that Wharton being gone is a given. But I'm watching us play our fifth qb and the running game isn't exactly firing on all cylinders (39 yards russhing, 22 of those by Steve Smith), is the blocking scheme an issue, too?

 

it's hard to say anything is working as it should right now.

I don't know. Scheme is generally good. The points of input are execution and coaching (playcalling). I think execution is the hard part right now, and we're limited playcalling by what we have to work with (talent, and lack of talent).

I like the offensive scheme, but it could be run better, and we could execute it better. I'm not much on "OMG pls fire ___________". If the staff changes, the O goes with it.

 

I appreciate that. I really do but it's pretty much the same people executing on that offensive line this year as last year - except we got our starting left tackle back and Gross has moved back to his more natural right tackle position. So you'd think, if anything, the execution should be better.
Again, I appreciate your level-headedness. I want this thing to have every chance to work. But you have to wonder how Jerry Richardson feels watching the fourth quarter of all his home games in an empty stadium. That has to be a lot of pressure.

I know he didn't amass a fortune by being short sighted. But he didn't do it by tolerating poor performance either.

 

Peppers and Jenkins if they don't improver there play from now and until the end of the season the panthers should defiantly consider trade both of them .The window for this team wining a superbowl is close.So it time to rebuild
