Why is coach Fox so stubborn?

Why is coach still hesitant on letting Gamble go one on one with the other teams best WR?

You pay him like a shutdown Cb plus he wants too do it. He's begging to do it.

I would think that after the Arizona debacle he would jump at trying something new.

Can someone give me a reason why we would keep doing the same thing with our Cb's?

I would think Fox would probably counter w/ the 1st AZ game, NO, and some other examples where things weren't such a huge trainwreck. We don't play a LOT of man coverage anyway.

All I'm saying is you pay the man like a shutdown CB let him do it.

What are the benefits of keeping it the way it is?

Like in the Tampa Monday night game you could see Tampa kept putting

Antonio Bryant on Lucas side and torch him. I would like too see if gamble can shutdown a weapon for another team.

I would like to point out that john fox's recent comments about this at

http://www.heraldonline.com/247/story/1522243.html

This is basicaly typical Fox double speak, and I can understand why

he will not make any statements where he will confirm any changes.

Unfortunately we will not know if there will be any changes until the scrimage and the

first 2 preseason games.

The Panthers reportedly plan to isolate CB Chris Gamble on opposing No. 1 receivers this season.

Carolina may have learned its lesson after Larry Fitzgerald torched (mostly) Ken Lucas for 166 yards on eight grabs in last year's playoffs. Gamble is usually the club's left corner. He'll be bookended by Richard Marshall in 2009.

Can Gamble win the battle with a number one WR more often than not? I know it was a while back, but I keep thinking of the game in Cincinnati where we had them at a fourth and one, and they threw a bomb to Ocho Cinco in single coverage with Gamble, and we all probably remember what happened on that play. I'm sure there have been more good than bad, but that's the one I remember most.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By rayzor · Posted

      it's going to be a crowded TE group...a crowded receiving corps that he will be part of. i'm not sure how much breaking out is going to happen. we're probably going to have 1 receiver with 1k yards, another couple with over 750 yards, and then the rest will be lucky to get over 500 and will probably be around 350 at best.  i just don't see enough targets coming for him to get a whole lot. maybe 1-2 a game. not because he isn't good enough, there's only going to be so many balls thrown to a lot of different people.

      Canales hasn't proven to use the TE like that.  Look for him to get around 400 yards and 3 tds

      I really love Sanders potential and thus never understood why so many were wanting us to take a TE in the 1st. But if he approaches 700 yards this year, it means our WR room had tons of injuries or seriously flopped. As I've said before, this year is about Bryce proving he can be the guy, but all our offensive weapons will have slightly lower stats because he's going to spread the ball around and they'll all eat into each other's potential.  It's next year when Thielen leaves and we don't replace him with a new player, but T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Sanders all absorb his targets that they all start putting up the stats they are capable of.
