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 honestly just don’t think Canales was ready to handle all that goes into being a HC plus play calling (something he was still new to and not great at yet). Idzik will be brand new to it but that’s one of the main things he can focus on plus having a seasoned vet like Bevell should go a long way if they listen to him.  I think a big issue with Bryce will be the locker room seems to have really bought into him. However he plays he seems to have a good head on his shoulder and does well in a leadership role. If they do decide to replace him it will be an interesting thing for them to navigate. I’d assume most players know it’s just business and want to win above everything else. 
    • Idk man…  this feels very targeted and measured.  I think one of them pissed someone off connected to some powerful media types and the person they pissed off had been sitting on this trove of evidence for awhile.  Now they start to leak it in intervals where everytime it seems it has lost steam - BAM!  Right back on the front page.  My instinct would say it was Russini, but she’s already been fired.  So, I think it’s someone who has an issue with Vrabel.  Whoever took those pics knew it was Vrabel, and even if they knew it wasn’t Russini, they knew it wasn’t Vrabel’s fault wife, and yet, they sat in them for 5 years?  And to go a step further, that last observation is a bit naive, because there are even people coming out now that are saying they knew Russini was sleeping with multiple coaches before all of this broke, so they knew.  I think this is about Vrabel. hmmm…  I wonder if this is Glazer bucking bc they set up that competing pool party?
