MCDERMONTT NEEDS TO GET THE fug OUT OF CHARLOTTE.

[chef17]

In Cover-2, the Panthers' last line of defense was free safety Haruki Nakamura, whose Sunday struggles may ultimately lead to his demotion.

Great play call there

[Tarheels23]

We didn't blitz Gamble, his guy stayed in to block, which gives him the option to blitz or play an area. They maxed protected, there wasn't anyone in his area, so he rightfully blitzed.

Well the good news is that Nakamura might not be our last line of defense anymore.

Why the fug was he covering Harry Douglas instead of Julio or White? That's bullshit and terrible call by Mcterrible.

Can't believe nobody's talking about the multiple O-Line holding penalties that occurred on that play (while Matt Ryan was in the end zone) that should have gotten us a safety and the win...

we're back to the normal refs now. it'll never happen in our favor.

We were in zone, and both Julio and White lined up on the left side of the field opposite of Gamble. It wouldn't make sense for Gamble to follow them over there when we're in a zone, but I agree there was a whole lot of things that were wrong on that play. We should've been in some type of prevent defense anyway. There's no way they were going to run the ball, and Rivera has got to know that.

It wouldn't have made sense to switch Gamble over in a zone in a NORMAL situation. When we're on the last drive by Atlanta, when they're backed up with no timeouts and having to move quickly, you tell the secondary (after the game White had up to that point) "Gamble goes to White's side, no matter what." That's basic football there. Simple as that. Bad job on McDermott's part. Hopefully he learned a lesson. Gamble would have at least made it a tougher catch, if not knock the pass down.

Two more questions spurred by this article...

1) Why do we have eight men in the box in that situation?

2) Why are we playing cover-2 zone?

[Dash Global]

Any coach that runs cover 2 late in a game needing to limit a big play needs to be fired directly after the game

You are giving away single coverage deep.

Got to play 2 / 3 Man Under in that situation.

lets move on
