I know management don't pay me for this, but...

As armchair Panthers coach, here is what I need to see next game.  Firstly, start KK alongside Star.  How many big runs will there be and how many defensive snaps with no pressure on the QB do we have to stand before this coaching staff get a clue?  Your best defensive lineman right now is coming off the bench?  Again, let Mr. Iverson drive this point home for a brother...

 

 

 

 

Secondly, I'm going to need Bersin to be moved up to the third receiver slot.  Dude is a chain mover and is likely a threat in the redzone.  We will need to put up points to counteract this defense of ours this year.  There's no Greg Hardy getting 4 sacks a game for us right now, and our corners are getting lit up like a Christmas tree.  These boys have me craving to get Norman out there as soon as possible.  I haven't felt that way about Norman since we drafted him.  So we need to keep the chains moving on offense, and we need to score a lot of touchdowns.  Along with Bersin, I'm going to need to see Swolebones out there. (The Panthers might be the only team who keeps their game changing players on the bench)  Finally, I'm going to need to see just a little more Riverboat out there.  Don't be afraid to throw caution to the wind every once in a while Rivera.  Go make a name for yourself.

KK should play over 80% of the snaps. He's barely playing 50%

 

No, Avant is a monster and Cotch is a solid #2. Bersin should get some more playing time but shouldn't start over either Avant or Cotch.

Norman is a better corner than White i dont care what anybody says. You cant chase a receiver 40 yards down field and not turn and look for the ball. That is inexcusable for a DB and something i thought he would improve on but he continues to do it, its a touchdown waiting to happen.  This year Norman has got to get his poo together, we actually need it now more than ever. Cant wait anymore.

[Davidson Deac II]

I disagree with the Bersin comment.  Avant played very well today, and while Cotchery dropped a couple today, he has played well for the most part this year.  Can't see Bersin being better than either of them at this point in their respective careers. 

 

Ron did gamble today, he went for it on a fourth and two towards the end of regulation, when the majority of coaches would have played it safe.

I actually see a lot of corners in this generation doing that.

Godfrey needs to be cut. We could tape a jersey to a pilon and get the same amount of production. You can't tell me there isn't a player sitting on his couch that wouldn't be able to contribute more than Godfrey

He should have took a bigger gamble in OT, and gone for the win.

Lol I was just about to make a post on godfrey

 

This is what Newton posted

 

Wild card: Now we know why rookie Bene' Benwikere won the starting nickel corner job over veteran Charles Godfrey. With Benwikere (ankle) out, Godfrey struggled to contain. In the first half alone, he gave up catches of 15, 10, 6 and 7 yards, all on third-down conversions. At the start of the second half, Godfrey was called for pass interference on third-and-6. Just not a good day for the former safety, who moved to corner during the offseason.

Put white at safety since he likes to hit and Harper apparently doesn't

Thats debatable.  We wont truly know if it was the right decision until the end of the season.  And fwiw, I think that he also wanted to show the defense that he had some confidence in them, even if they didn't earn that confidence.

I don't know if the huddle has prejudiced me or what,but it seemed like he was around every bad play messing up.

[JawnyBlaze]

Avant had a couple bad drops today too.  Bad day for vet receivers.

[Carl Spackler]

Yeah Cotchery's drop cost us a win more than anything. I like him but gotta be honest.

 

If only we had some sort of go-up-and-get it, fight-in-the-air receiver who had the fire to refuse to not get that ball. But I'm not sure where you could find a player like that

 

[LA_Panther]

cotch dropped the game winner but I still want him as a #2

agree with starting short and cutting godfrey
