Official Panthers - Seahawks Gameday Thread


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

With seven players already on the inactive list, including two starting guards, the Panthers have quite a challenge ahead of them today.

 

Who: Seahawks at Panthers

 

Where: Bank of America Stadium

 

When: 1:00

 

 

Twitter: Follow @Carolinahuddle for live updates from the field starting roughly at 11am.

 

 

Keys to the Game:

 

- Defense tightens up and doesn't allow a big play (wishful thinking?)

 

- Let Cam be Cam. Improvisation against the Seahawks defense will work best.

 

- Kelvin Benjamin vs Richard Sherman - KB must show up today if he hopes for a ROY nod.

Having a tough time figuring this one out.  Is Seattle really this much worse than last year or are they still a great team that has just struggled and are waiting to bust out.  I have a feeling we are either going to win close or get creamed again.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
