lightsout

I think us bringing in Gilmore was the signal that Horn is done this season. Good. Let him be 100% before returning with minimal pressure. Plus the depth at corner allows us to trade for pieces we'll need next season

He was shaky to start because he was jacked. Once he settled, the middle of the line was pretty strong. Paradis never needs to see the field at center again for the Panthers. Period.

This. And let Rhule have a say. A GM and HC have to be on the same page, but it takes an experienced NFL guy to ensure you're getting the best personnel. Fitt can teach Rhule the ins and outs of structuring a team while getting a better idea of the kinds of players Rhule prefers and his temperament and expectations. Whole team would benefit.

Cam comes back and Erickson actually gets a few yards on a return? We get a kicker? Defense playing lights out (albeit against Colt freaking McCoy, but still)?

Cam gets this playbook down quick and we are gonna be cooking, boys and girls. I still want to see them let Cam air one out this game for shits and gigs

Screw it. Let Cam loose on em.

No reason to even run screens. We don't do them well. Can we just not?

I'm ok with Cam being rusty on timing throws. It's been a minute. Keeping Cam on for an additional play or two is only gonna make that defense second guess

I almost forgot that we weren't drawing these crazy penalties like normal. Cam and CMC both back? League can't allow it

I was about to say, before Cam came on for that play, I want to see Cam in these 3rd and shorts. Make them account for him. We will have people WIDE open

Cam run and Cam to Anderson.

To have redzone attempts be damn near automatic.

Everybody nailed it already but this is what I want out of team captains. Laser focus. He is probably stoked as hell because he is a leader of a damn good defense that has been ruined by being the unit to carry the team. He also is looking out for PJ because you have to know he's antzy about his start on top of now Cam being back. I pray to God that Cam is 100% healthy and that shoulder holds up. If so, Cam being back is great. If he can't hit the long ball still consistently, we're no better off except we'll steal some first downs through Cam running for his life.

There are two whatevers in his head. His wife and his brother. Betting money he is losing his mind but seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't want to make a fuss or blow up his relationships.

20 dropped passes this season honestly seems low.

Sam Darnold seems to have escaped from the basement of his home and tied up Dan Sarmold to make his return. JD Moore is clearly not as good as DJ Moore though.

Cam lost his job to a rookie. I wouldn't be so sure of your statement

Playing Warzone, watching the Braves, watching the Hurricanes, watching my son take his snacks out of his snack bowl and dump them all of the floor that I just cleaned, a dentist appointment, a haircut, filing taxes, going to the DMV. These are some of the things more entertaining than this game right now.

Holy hell we look rough

The system isn't the problem so much as the players failing to execute consistently across the freaking board.

Nobody open and line can't block, on top of the fact that we're not getting plays in and lined up quickly. This team is flat. OL is bad. Darnold has been bad today. Anderson is useless. Run game has no real room. This is bad football.

I miss doing The Canes Blog here back when we had blogs, but I simply don't have that kind of time myself. I have to fight the wife for hockey nights as it is (or I watch on my phone as she watches whatever show she's watching...or second monitor if I'm playing warzone)

TDA is gonna be a fan favorite before Christmas. Bet on it. Also, how about Jesper Fast? Dude is gonna be a point getter this season. Very active player.
