Kelvin Benjamin - Aside from the touchdown....

[Ivan The Awesome]

Not that it matters getting in to what could have or might have...  but in most games I think Benjamin gets McKelvin.  He is far more athletic and faster then Gilmore.  He would have been able to keep up and get in to position much more easily then Gilmore.  And, slammed to the ground - nah, because they'd have just pulled the CB back 5 yards and any contact would be illegal.  Also, they'd have gone to a cover 4.

 

From the limited amount I saw of KB I have to believe the best way to cover him in the NFL is to intercept and cut him off in motion with the safety.  There is little to not reason to not double team him because there are no viable threats to catch a cold on the team.  Double coverage on KB will be done from his first snap in his first game.  Against the Bucs you will likely see the CB play inside and under on KB, avoid nearly all contact and let Goldson cover the top.  Goldson will likely even be the first player to make contact.  Being that he only ran a 4.61 Benjamin isn't blowing by anyone and defenders have a better chance at jumping his route then they do actually stopping him.  He's just too big and powerful.

 

If you can keep him outside it will be even easier but a nearly impossible task to do.

we have tons of Applebees in WNY.  Just like NC has tons of BBQ and trailers.

 

Half of your population is down here looking for work.  Probably explains the trailers.

Looks beat to poo to me. Beat so bad Gilmore has to commit a blantant PI that results with KB on the ground. He still makes the catch.

I still dont get how he even saw that ball.

I'm not sure what you're saying, I guess I don't have time but will take time to check this. I'm not sure how you're bringing Crotchery in to this because he was not a Panther last year.

Anyway, the Panthers had 6 more yards passing then Buffalo in 2013. That spun my head. We started scrubs at QB for 6 games and Manuel didn't exactly look flashy. Sure, you had your best guys put up more numbers but your TE had more yards then your WR, just like Buffalo. Now your number 1 WR is gone and a new rookie takes over.

.

YOU are the one over on our board claiming our WRs outside Kelvin can't catch a cold. Cotchery was brought up simply bc his abilities have nothing to do with what jersey he wore last year.

Carolina was 12-4 last year.....sitting on leads and running the clock out. LOL....you aren't going to get big raw pass numbers considering that. If you want to look at how good the offenses were....look at how the teams did Per offensive drive. Carolina was 11th in yards per drive.....Bills 26th. Carolina 10th in pts per drive, Bills 25th. What that tells you is we didn't touch the ball a lot but when we did where on of the better offenses when we did

As far as last year, Smith was a 1 in name. Olsen got more yards and Cam got scrubs like Ginn and LaFell in the endzone more than 89. Smith wasn't a 1....that isn't what a one means or does for a team.

How did you think kb looked last night getting off the line besides the insane td catch?

I thought for his first live action he looked pretty dang good.

Not sure he was really challenged though at the line that much though. 3rd game probably will give us the best picture of where he is. But if he gets downfield I don't see most CBs having much of a chance

[Cpt slay a ho]

Kb is beast but at this rate he will be getting doubled, I hope Jericho and company can step it up when good teams double kb......if not were fugged

It's hard not to be impressed with Optimus Prime last night. The guy was simply impressive last night. He man-handled the guys covering him at the line, and the touchdown catch was worthy of the #1 spot on Top Plays for the week. If you're going to try and deny that you're simply wrong, and you're not worth trying to convince otherwise.

 

Cotchery was also pretty damn impressive for in limited action last night as well. He was catching passes that would have been drops by LaFell and Ginn, who he was essentially brought into replace. 

 

I'm not so sure that either Cotchery or Prime can replace Smith's production yardage wise individually, but I think as a team they beat out LaFell and Smith in yardage and TDs, as well as opening up the field more for Olsen. I think that trio is hard to beat for any NFL defense.

 

The biggest question mark is the slot WR, and I really believe that's currently a battle between Avant, Bersin, and King. I would love to see Bersin win that job, but King was no push over last night. Plus Bersin had Pickle lite throwing to him last night.

Lol

Panthers fans are excited that in his first organized football game, KB reeled in a TD pass. Despite stumbling/being pushed/whatever, he finished the play. Somehow this is grounds for vbulletin universe legion of bills fans patrol squad to invade forums because if their team sucks, (it has since forever it seems), they don't like to see anybody else happy. If that guy's truly a narcissist, I'm going to have to update my definition of that word to "insecure football fans that have way too much time on their hands to register on forums and argue with people simply because a guy scored a TD in the preseason at their defense's expense"

Cotchery had his big year last year in the slot.
