Given that I work with folks who have experienced trauma and have PTSD I think a player can learn to overcome their panic reactions and improve under pressure. They either have to learn how to reduce their stress reaction or become more successful while under stress by rehearsing various options and strategies. I have wondered how teams could use video simulation and biofeedback to work with someone like Darnold on pressure or with Anderson on holding onto balls. Most folks who have these issues don't seek help for them and often want quick solutions and a pill. But they are absolutely fixable and the benefits can be lifelong.

Can Darnold improve his panic response which is why he throws so many picks? I think he can. But you have to know what you need to do before you feel the adrenaline and cortisol. Sure he has some bone head throws when he is under little or no pressure but the 40% he is pressured is the huge reason he throws so many picks when he feels heat. And you have to be willing to dump it off and take the sure 5 yards instead of throwing a pick trying to squeeze it into double coverage. Know when to throw it away and when to run. A bunch of quick throws, dump offs and automatic reads will help both Darnold and Corral get used to playing in this system and should make them look better than they are. Of course ha ING a decent line might help as well.

I am sure you aren't alone.

We are a QB away from contending. Hopefully we find him here or elsewhere. But the future is actually bright...

I am prepared for whatever. If you are an adult you should be as well. But I expect a much better performance this year and hopefully more wins. Schedule will be tough but there aren't many excuses. I will be despondent and negative if we suck in October and November but for now am positive and looking forward to the season.

We actually have an O line coach who know what he is doing. Now that we have some decent talent I expect a big improvement. The consolation is that if injuries hit we have several backups with significant starting experience so we don't have to shuffle players around. You are right, the line of all places needs guys playing next to each other in the same positions to develop anticipation through muscle memory. We hopefully have our starting 5 and everyone else is bucking for roster spots and playing time.

Playing on the line is about chemistry and working together because you are only as good as your weakest link. Conversely it is all about working together as a group and the collective whole is better than each individual performance. So it isnt who is simply the strongest or most athletic but who is best in which position as a group. How is it that folks in the huddle know how everyone is doing and who should play where and when they haven't watched any practice at all. I doubt the coaches have even decided this yet. Maybe they should ignore practice and tune in here so they know what they should do....

I know that we have good O line coaching with Campen who played in the NFL and coached several teams most notably Green Bay. He has a reputation for taking midrounders and turning them into quality starters. Look up and down the coaching roster. This is what we should have had for Rhules first season. Coupled with less micromanagement and letting your team win for you. He is learning to live his own preaching by changing his approach and do what he does best which is player interaction and getting buy in from the vets by making them coaches. I found his comments about letting the players take over and coach very refreshing. I just wish he was less of a sexual intellectual.

The truth is the allure of the college coaches under Rhule was to able to develop young guys and develop them like they had to in college. That didn't work out very well. So now we have NFL coaches tasked with the same job. Hopefully they will be more successful. I am optimistic our coaching staff is much improved. How much it helps in terms of wins and losses is up in the air.

He didn't play that much and when he did he didn't look good. After Gilmore came in his reps significantly declined. Agree that he needs to live up to his potential and I hope Wilks is up for the challenge. I am expecting good improvement from a lot of players this year.

I said he was a potential starter. Cats Crave said the same thing. Here is another of their articles talking about who is slated for a bigger role in 2022. Yeah it is CJ Henderson. Seems your reading is as bad as your logic and understanding. https://catcrave.com/2022/05/31/4-carolina-panthers-players-bigger-roles-2022-offseason/ Again I didn't say guaranteed starter but potential starter. With as much nickle as we play he will be on the field if he continues to develop.

Typical response when you are proven wrong. You asked who thought he was a potential starter, I showed you and of course you can't admit you were wrong as usual.

https://catcrave.com/2022/06/13/ranking-best-carolina-panthers-players-25-years-old-2022/3/ Seems the motivation issues in Jacksonville were not apparent in Carolina.

Yeah since salaries have so escalated and the average defensive back makes over 10 million with the best at 20 million it is hard to add free agents. So trading for guys on rookie contracts has become popular to control the money and hopefully fix the issues if he is being traded so early in his career.

First of all who wants to play for Jacksonville? Second he was the 9th pick in the 2020 draft. And you can't tell me you know he can't play. He was not horrific and should be much improved based on a much better scheme. Get with the now and stop rehashing history. You will stay less triggered and when what I say comes true you will look smart too.

I just did and have reasons to be optimistic. Henderson is projected as a possible starter depending on how much we match up Horn on a specific player or allow him to play a side. Wait and see how much better the secondary plays with Wilks as coach. It wasn't the players, it was the poor coaching plain and simple.

We have added players after cuts every year in training camp since we became a franchise. Most every team does this. I am sure we will as well this year. Not sure how that is a bad thing unless we grossly overpaid or got ripped off. The Darnold trade was a calculated risk as was trading next years third for Corral. Getting Henderson is going to pay off this year and Gilmore while a short term rental taught our secondary alot in his time here. Not sure those trades were a bad idea or borne out of desperation.

I love how everyone comments with no understanding where things are today. Everything is about bitching about last year or beyond. I know you have been traumatized by our quick starts and huge fades, but this is 2022. Let's see how things unfold before constantly bitching about the past. Unless you have figured out how bitching about yesterday impacts tomorrow. And no they aren't connected or inevitable. The huddle isn't therapy, if you are that traumatized then get help. Otherwise stop with the constant complaining. Public service announcement....

It depends on how they play in our system with the other guys we have on the line. I was pointing out that size wasn't the issue technique was. Are you debating that or saying they would suck anytime even as depth or something else???

Everyone points out are DEs are too light and not very good against the run. Which is partly true. We aren't lighter than most teams at DE but you can't sell out against the pass every down and play the run first. If our back end does well it allows the line and linebackers to focus on the run first rather than going all out on blitzing and if you don't get there the secondary is exposed for a big gain.

This idea that we are small up front doesn't add up. Brown is 6-5 and 320. Iannidis is 305, McCall is 335, Roy is 330. Hoskins is the lightest at 280. So from a weight point we are plenty big. The problem was technique which is why we have a new D line coach.

Given all the guys who were out due to injury and international play, it really let some other players get meaningful minutes. In his interview, Fuchs said in his speech to the players that this was there opportunity to show what they can do. Obviously several stepped up.

That was a great win. Fantastic effort and the most physical I have seen them be yet. Our new coach stresses fitness and hard effort over tactical execution. It was on display today. And the fans were awesome as usual. It is great to go to the game and walk out a winner more often than not.

I don't think anyone thought teams would trade for Jimmy straight up and take on that salary. The question is what kind of money will Jimmy work for?? What if he wants 15 or 20 million which is a deal these days. Do you pay it or keep what we got..

You aren't alone. It has been hard to walk out of the stadium every week after losing again at home the last several years.
