The Carolina Panthers offensive line is striving for consistency and improvement following a difficult stretch that included allowing 11 sacks over two games. Offensive line coach Joe Gilbert and run game coordinator Harold Goodwin emphasized the need to eliminate costly penalties, which have erased over 200 rushing yards this season, while establishing better continuity amidst continuous lineup adjustments.
