im not too worried about our offense, well be fine there. and jake will be fine. i think the first team just wanted to get some reps and get off the field without injuries.

i totally agree about the DT situation. we need to address that

1) Too many fumbles. Too many picks. Too many penalties.

2) QBs: Jake and Moore looked OK, Cantwell looked bad, then good, then bad. McCown looked awful.

3) We won't win five games unless we shore up the defensive tackle position.

4) Why was CJ Wilson starting? He's terrible and he showed it.

5) Still too lax in pass coverage.

6) James Anderson = Panthers' MVP of the game. A sack and a blocked punt for a safety.

7) Mike Goodson has some skills but needs to learn to protect the ball.

8) Worst MNF coverage I've ever seen. If it isn't about the sacred Giants, Vick, Favre or the Wildcat, it doesn't matter. "Deshaun Williams?" "Meakee Kaymoattu?" Get a roster people.

9) Stupid call to end the game. Absolutely stupid. But neither coach wanted to go into OT. Obviously Fox wanted to even less to have a brain fart like that. That's bush league.

10) Everette Brown looked solid.

11) Buh-bye Jason Carter.

12) Nice game by Barnidge, Jake looked to him a lot and he caught passes.

A lot of work needs to be done, but I'm confident we'll have most these problems fixed by week 1. Most of these problems are minor problems that can be fixed with just a little more time and practice. The only huge problem we have is the DT position and I'm confident the front office will fix that in time.

Some of you that are panicking from preseason game 1 makes me laugh hard.

We SUCK...generally...

It's the PRESEASON! It was the first week of the preseason, there was no gameplan set. Pretty much backyard football, call 'em like you see 'em. Not to mention we have a new D Coord, we didn't have Smitty and we didn't have J-Stew!

Overall the game was a little rough for me. I know it is early but I really am worried about our ability to stop the run. Early in the game, the G men ran all over us.

Positives: D-Willy reminded me how great he is (we have a solid run game), Moore looked good and may provide a solid 4th reciever, Goodson I thought was good. I know about the fumbles but his speed could give a third back that could provide insurance for an injury to Willy or Stewart, Wesley looked solid at corner maybe the nickle spot, I really liked Connor. This guy could provide added depth to the LB unit

Negatives: Still nothing out of Jarrett. I really expected to see him improved as the word has been out of camp, The backup O-line looked terrible. We need at least 1 or 2 guys to back up a solid starting unit, Hayden pushed completely off the line along with the rest of the interior d. We are really in trouble against the run, Not sold on Brown. Looked so-so against the starters from NY

I am still excited about the season. I think once our starters get back in full, the offense will be really good. However, the defense really worries me. The last 6 games of last year we struggled to stop the run and we really did not address that in the off season. May have to outscore people and running the ball and the clock will be a key.

I think its obvious we need help at the DT spot. Hayden shouldn't even be on the team...however Favorite and Irvin played much better with the second team. As a whole I thought the defense played really soft which is typical but I've heard a lot of people talk about how Meeks runs a pretty vanilla defense...I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Whenever we uped the pressure with the second team they played much better.

On offense I think Jake never got into a rythm which hurt the entire offense. The positive thing is that we ran the ball well from Williams to Birmingham. But what was up with the QB's??? All our quarterbacks fumbled the ball. Its weird how we have a new QB coach who is supposed to stress ball security and they ALL fumbled. Jarrett had a chance and didn't really do anything although they really weren't in position to make a lot of plays.

Special teams was hit and miss they allowed some returns but blocked a punt. Jeremy Lehman looks like a big time special teamer as well as a quality backup. None of the returners really did anything to speak of.

At first I was pissed about the coaching but they made some nice adjustments at halftime and the defense was much better. The offense made some plays and we had a chance to win a game we had no business being in.

Risers: Kenneth Moore, Jeremy Lehman, James Anderson, Quinton Teal

Fallers: Nick Hayden, Jason Carter, Geoff Schwartz, Rip's QB ball security drills

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
