The Carolina Panthers offense has looked much more effective this year compared to last. This is due in large part to guys in the trenches, the Panthers' offensive line.
At this time last year, the Carolina Panthers' offensive line was not playing well and was a liability for this offense. Well, that has quickly changed as this group is playing some of the best football collectively in the NFL and was recently ranked as the second best offensive line the NFL by Pro Football Focus.
At this time last year, the Panthers had a starting five of Byron Bell at left tackle, Amini Silatolu at left guard, Ryan Kalil at center, Fernando Velasco at right guard, and Nate Chandler at right tackle.
