Secondary


Swedish Butt-Whistle

Recommended Posts

They really kept things infront of them today. I think this is probably the most improved segment of our group this year. Close between it and the wr positions. To limit Calvin Johnson to what he had was a huge success today. I can't say enough about Bene Benwikere either. Safety positions made some good plays, including the tip that lead to interception and never gave up anything substantial.

but wait, we didnt spend a sshit ton of money on FAs on our secondary! look at what the saints did with byrd! we are gunna be hurting with our patchwork secondary! we dont spend moneeyy!!

Panthers 2-0

Saints 0-2

Gman is like the smart woman who doesn't make much $ but knows how to find the designer label clothes in the 2nd hand store. I believed from the start that just like last year, he'd be able to plug the holes with bargain players.

with you 100%.  they shut megatron and tate down that 2nd half.  mcdermott had this one drawn up perfectly today and, of course, they have the talent to pull it off.  

Anyone have second half stats? Pretty incredible accomplishment here. I know the entire defense stepped it up, but you cannot pass credit on these young guys.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
