Official Panthers - Steelers Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Tonight the Panthers look for a win against the Pittsburgh to help solidify their status as the class of the NFC South.

 

 

Who: Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers

 

When: 8:30pm

 

TV: NBC - NBC Charlotte will be airing LIVE from the Huddle Tailgate starting at 6:00pm. They will have three live spots within the hour.

 

Radio: 1110 WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle on twitter for observations

 

All-Pro: Additional pregame coverage in the All-Pro Insider forum. Early photos/observations/behind the scenes action.

 

 

 

Panthers' Keys to Victory:

 

- Contain Le'Veon Bell. Bell is the most potent offensive weapon of Pittsburgh.

- Continue to Spread the Ball: Cam Newton has done an excellent job of getting the ball to a variety of receivers. This must continue tonight.

- Quick Start. There will be plenty of Steelers fans in attendance. A few quick scores will quiet them and eventually send them back to their trailers early.

Couple thoughts of concern for tonight...

Panthers DBs vs quick WRs. I think we are better suited to matchup against big WRs. This will be a test tonight.

Impact of Hardy. Last week we did not get to see the real impact he has out of the line up. We will this week.

Cam locking on early and starring down short routes to WRs. Troy P often doesn't even play S but instead just spy's the QBs eyes and guesses.....worry about a defender like Troy playing up and jumping those pass lanes

all eyes will be on charlotte tonight.  i think our guys make another statement.  they are still pissed off for being dismissed this off-season.  

 

 

and i hate waiting for night games to get here.

Sadly I think all the talk will be about Greg Hardy. You know NBC isn't just gonna sweep that under the rug.

 

 

I don't really care as long as we get the Win.

 

 

Go Panthers!

Latest Injury Report

Carolina Panthers:

Jason Avant (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Byron Bell (OT) - Toe - Probable

Kelvin Benjamin (WR) - Knee - Probable

Philly Brown (WR) - Ankle - Probable

Nate Chandler (OL) - Toe - Probably

Colin Cole (DT) - Non-Injury - Probable

Jericho Cotchery (WR) - Thigh - Questionable

Thomas Davis (LB) - Hip - Probable

Dwan Edwards (DT) - Back - Probable

Greg Olsen (TE) - Calf - Probable

Mike Tolbert (FB) - Chest - Probable

Fozzy Whittaker (RB) - Thigh - Doubtful

Garry Williams (OT) - Hip - Probable

DeAngelo Williams (RB) - Thigh - Questionable

The list leaves the Panthers a bit depleted at the wideout and running back positions, but most are expected to play.  With Deangelo Williams and Jason Avant both getting limited practice in on Friday, it appears both should be able to play tonight.  Cotchery has been out all week with a thigh injury and did not practice on Friday.  

 

Carolina has brought up Darrin Reaves from the practice squad to add depth in Fozzy's absence.  If Jason and/or Jericho can't go, be prepared to have some Brenton and Philly sightings in tonight's game.

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers:

Dri Archer (WR/RB) - Ankle - Doubtful

Martavis Bryant (WR) - Shoulder - Probable

Ramon Foster (OG) - Ankle - Questionable

Brett Keisel (DE) - Non-Injury - Probable

Steve McLendon (NT) - Shoulder - Probable

Heath Miller (TE) Non-Injury - Probable

Lance Moore (WR) - Groin - Probable

Troy Polamalu (S) Non-Injury - Probable

 

Nothing too damaging here for the Steelers.  Most on this list are expected to play.

Not one bit worried about RB. We basically have too much depth. So this is just us finally being able to use it.

Crotchety is the big one IMO. He has stepped up for those 89 like 3rd down grabs

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
