The Cardiac Cats are alive and well my Panthers friends. The Panthers let the Giants back in the game only to see Graham Gano drill a 63 yard dagger into their tiny apple-shaped hearts.

The NFL season is one quarter of the way finished. If “first-quarter-of-the-season MVP” was an award I’d give it to the five men who have made up the offensive line. Their unexpectedly high level of play has been nothing short of stunning. Through Week 5 the Carolina Panthers are sporting a 3-1 record despite the fact that the five offensive linemen with the most snaps played are two unheralded journeymen (Chris Clark and Greg Van Roten), a guy who’s too young (Taylor Moton), a guy who’s too old (Ryan Kalil) Authentic Kawann Short Jersey , and a backup center playing out of position (Tyler Larsen). Football OutsidersAnd yet, here we are. This ragtag group of overachievers has put Christian McCaffrey on pace for over 1,300 rushing yards on a healthy 5.2 yards per carry while also doing a respectable job keeping Cam Newton clean. It’s truly incredible how well this unit has performed.While there is no perfect way to accurately judge the production of offensive lines, two of the most trustworthy sites that track advanced NFL stats are Football Outsiders and Pro Football Focus. Let’s see what they have to say:Football OutsidersThrough Week 5 Football Outsiders ranks the Panthers offensive line No. 2 in run blocking and No. 15 in pass blocking. Just let that sink in for a moment. Chris Clark was unemployed until after Week 1, got signed by Carolina Youth Mario Addison Jersey , then started for the Panthers in Week 2. Neither Greg Van Roten nor Taylor Moton had ever started an NFL game before this season. Ryan Kalil looked well past his prime last year. Tyler Larsen is a perfectly serviceable player, but he’s far from being a Pro Bowler. Football Outsiders incorporates a number of variables such as down, distance, and opponent when evaluating offensive line performance. Based on their analysis, the Panthers offensive line is an elite run blocking unit and above average in pass protection. Incredible. Pro Football FocusWhile Football Outsiders shows what the offensive line has accomplished as a unit http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-devin-funchess-jersey , Pro Football Focus evaluates individual performance. Here is how PFF has graded the five Panthers offensive linemen with the most snaps through Week 5:PFF grades through Week 5NamePFF GradePosition RankPFF RatingNamePFF GradePosition RankPFF RatingThe individual PFF grades jive with the Football Outsiders data in showing an above average offensive line. Watching Taylor Moton morph into one of the best tackles in the NFL is the single most pleasant surprise of the season. I think most of us are probably looking ahead and salivating over the prospect of Trai Turner getting fully healthy after clearing the concussion protocol and for Daryl Williams to hopefully return in the second half of the season. Throw a healthy Turner and Williams into the mix and the Panthers offensive line could be downright dominant by the end of the season. But for now, here’s to the ragtag group of overachievers who have saved the start of the Panthers 2018 season - Taylor Moton, Greg Van Roten, Ryan Kalil, Tyler Larsen Shaq Thompson Jersey , and Taylor Moton. You guys are my first-quarter-of-the-season MVPs.
