Basically, hit gold on FA's last year. Struck out this year but didn't have many other options because of Hurney. Pass rush and O line biggest weaknesses. Says Cam is shaky but its not Cam's fault, and questions why Rivera left him in last night.

Nothing we really haven't heard before. Personally I wish he went more into the coaching and specifically the offensive play calling's shortcomings, and I definitely don't think leaving Newton in last night has been RR's only questionable decision so far this year.

Where does he get that Fernando Velasco is the replacement for Jordan Gross?

 

He explains in his footnote:

 

Outside of a couple of asterisked changes,1 these are like-for-like swaps at the same position.
Gross retired and was replaced at left tackle by Byron Bell, who moved over from right tackle. Nate Chandler, who mostly played right guard last season, moved to right tackle. Velasco has eventually become the one who stepped in at guard. I’m not cheating here to try to replace Gross with an inferior player; Chandler has been abysmal, Bell has been alternately injured and ineffective, and backup David Foucault has flailed. If anything, Velasco’s been the best of that group.

Assuming of course he agrees that the playcalling is a big problem..  Funny how most folks talking about the Panthers outside the huddle are not blaming the play calling but player execution and lack of talent.

Gettleman had over 13 million to spend he chose to waste it on hardy and pocket the rest the hurney excuses have to stop he is part of the problem and so is Gettleman thus far

He couldn't have known Hardy would get suspended though.  

 

I do agree that the Hardy tag was kind of a luxury signing for us however, even before the suspension. When he plays, he's clearly a great player, but did we really need nearly $30M invested in the Dline when it means having DeCoud/Harper at safety and Bell/Chandler at tackle?

      Some ALL-22 clips…

      They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.

      Reminder: A team lead by Matt Rhule/Steve Wilks got us this result…..

      well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn.

      JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
