2. Solidify offensive line play

The offensive line was less-than-ideal last Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.

We all know that it begins and ends with the offensive line and the unit just couldn’t get much of a push at all throughout the day.

Donovan Smith had what most would consider to be the worst game of his career. The offensive line allowed three sacks and seven QB hits. They couldn’t open up holes in the running game, which was abysmal.

It all begins with the OL and they’re going up against a Panthers defensive line that is one of the worst in the league in pass-rushing. This gives them an opportunity to improve and take advantage of a weakness.
