Alan "Blue Balls" Ball leaves Panther offer on table

Also because we will likely draft a DB, I look at this signing as insurance in case a young DB we want 1) isn't there, 2) we draft a young DB that will need some time to be ready. On Paper Ball 6'2, Norman 6', and Bene 5'11/6' (depending where you look), with a 3 Safety rotation of Boston, Harper, Coleman things sound a bit more solid than this time last year.

Factor in we'll likely add a DB/S via draft or UDFA or both the room for potential is nice with proven commodities already on the roster.

I agree 100%

Am I the only person who really liked what Colin Jones had to offer at the nickel?

 

I too loved Colin Jones in at nickel. Smartest thing I saw McDermott do last year. Because so often when you have your nickel package in, the offense goes to hurry-up, thinking you've gone small/CB for your nickel back & tries to take advantage of that with runs & options. With Colin in & not being able to sub, we effectively still have 3 LB'rs in to stop those plays and it works really well. He's also fast enough to stay with a slot receiver when he needs to, removing that WR option. I hope they don't mess with this package.

 

But I'm all for competition at all positions & this sounds like it would be a good signing.

Sure up the outside and let Bene play the nickel and the days of bend but don't break are over! I garuntee Bene will be tops in the league and our defense will be back in the top 5

Top 5 if we can find a DE to keep up pressure. Look at the tape against Seattle. Wilson did not have any pressure in that game, without another pass rushing DE, top five is a stretch.

Good point, I think I'm Over playing that Kony will come into his own this year but he is prbly still a year or two away, but here's to hoping better corner play will give the Dline more of an opportunity

3 sacks in his last 3 games.  I'll take a sack a game in 2015.  That'll work.

I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say here.

Well 1st my huddle app was giving me an error message, thus the double post.

2nd LOL at the expert amateurs that exclaim how much a professional GM is overpaying a player. Especially when the provide the salary said expert amateur assures us they "deserve".

    • 17% odds Better than the 0% chance that I figured we'd have at this point, but we're basically counting on the Bucs to poo the bed.
    • It will probably be head to head to determine the division winner since I believe we would have to win both to have a chance
    • So, Carolina (7-6) goes into a Bye Week while they sit on top of the NFCS with Tampa Bay (7-5). For those that don’t know here is how the tiebreaking procedures work for the Division: Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games. Best net points in common games. Best net points in all games. Best net touchdowns in all games. Coin toss The Panthers are currently 7-6 with a 2-1 record in the division and a 5-3 record in the NFC. The Bucs are currently 7-5 with a 2-0 record in the division and 5-3 record in the NFC. *Should the Panthers make it to Tiebreaker #5 they will almost certainly lose since this team enjoys winning in the final minute each week. Hopefully, they can avoid letting it go that far. Remaining Schedules: The Panthers round out their schedule with: ·       Bye Week ·       @ New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Tampa Bay (7-5) ·       VS Seattle (9-3) ·       @ Tampa Bay (7-5) Tampa will round out their schedule with: ·       VS New Orleans (2-10) ·       VS Atlanta (4-8) ·       @ Carolina (7-6) ·       @ Miami (5-7) ·       VS Carolina (7-6) So to make this even more complicated, you need to cheer for the Saints this week and be prepared to hate them next week. Hopefully, them, the Falcons, or the Dolphins can give us a hand along the way. Conclusion: The easiest path forward is to beat New Orleans and sweep the Bucs. However, that would be too easy so we may need some help from our cousins in Georgia and Louisiana. Personally, I think Miami may give Tampa some problems since it looks like they are starting to turn their season around. But knowing us, we will find a way to lose to the Saints and somehow beat Seattle just to keep things interesting. There is 1 quarter of the football season left, and the way I have it figured that’s kind of how our playoff chances go over the next 4 games: By finishing: ·       1-3: (Eliminated, even if one wins against Tampa, it won’t matter) ·       2-2: (50% chance depending on who we beat, if Seattle/New Orleans- No. If Tampa both times, maybe if not likely, would still need some help from somebody on their schedule). ·       3-1: (Very likely if not certainly. Would mean sweeping the Bucs and either the Saints/Seahawks OR beating Saints/Seahawks with at least one win against the Bucs) ·       4-0: (Dust off your Sunday best and clip your nails, we are hosting a playoff game!) So get ready for meaningful football in December, because it’s here for the first time in a long while.
