OT Jordan Gross said the offensive line deserves most of the blame for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. "Jake (Delhomme) got the worst of the heat yesterday from the fans and everybody else, but if you go back and watch the tape with the angles we have, there's not many quarterbacks in the league that would have done anything much different. He was getting hit left and right," Gross said. "We claim to be the standard of this team as an offensive line so we have to do a lot better." Gross said the team had a lot of "blitz pickup issues." 91/4/2009

The Panthers signed Gross to a six-year deal on Thursday.
