Good, Average, Bad: A 3-Player Breakdown of Panthers at Titans

Posted on Author Billy MarshallCategories News

Bad

 

TE Beau Sandland

 

Beau Sandland and Braxton Deaver are locked in a tight battle for a potential fourth TE spot, and on Saturday, Sandland’s blocking was concerning.

The seventh-round pick flexed into a FB and H-Back for the majority of the game, and on this first play, he’s lined up in the backfield. When Sandland takes a poor angle to block the defender, RB Brandon Wegher has no chance:

Again, Sandland doesn’t take a proper angle and Wegher’s run is blown up:

Finally, with a blitz coming from the right side, Sandland’s lack of functional strength gets him driven into QB Cam Newton:

With two preseason games left, Sandland has some time to bounce back, while Sanchez and Hawkins can build on their performances in Nashville.

    I like what I’m seeing.

    BBR consistently provides insight you are not getting elsewhere. Share this with other a Panthers fans.

    Donald Hawkins has been on the radar since OTAs

    I like a lot of things I’m seeing from our rookies and second stringers. Simonson kind of let me down but hey, this is what the preseason is for right? Ironing out the wrinkles in their game. Hawkins looked damn good and here’s hoping Worley is a quick study. Good game.

    Hawkins needed a game like that and Sandland has just been disappointing. I would like to see Deaver & Lucas get some earlier reps with the 1st & 2nd units to see what they can do. I was thrilled when they got Sanchez in the 5th round being a Big 12 follower. I thought he would go much sooner. Bene, Sanchez, & Shaq make me feel real comfortable about the nickle position.

    I am curious what they will do once Johnson has to come off PUP and who might make the roster that they might potentially cut to place Johnson on the roster when that time comes.

    Great job by who ever wrote the article. Would love to see Mr. Marshall highlight some of Damiere Byrd’s plays from the Titans game or someone from the media because it’s worth noting.

    He was out in space giving good blocks at times during the game, the two potential touchdowns missed after he beat the coverage deep and in the back of the end zone had it not been for bad passes, and some of the catches he made throughout.

    Very under rated and under the radar performance I thought the stats didn’t do justice to.

    Yup. Love that bubble screen blocking.
