Official Panthers - Dolphins GameDay Thread

This place seems pretty dead today. Either this whole Kelvin Benjamin thing scared away the bandwagon or they're already drunk.

Tomorrow morning will be busy... either with a caravan of bandwagons or a parade of self-flagellating mourners. Either way I'll be here to join the fun.

Jeez, posted two hours ago and not even on page two this place really is dead.

Hopefully no one believes we will absolutely tank this season.  At the end of the day as an integral piece as KB was football is played on the field, not on paper.

We still have the same (but improved) Defense that will hold teams to minimal scoring. Many other positions on Offense have improved from last year as well.  Assuming that to be the case around 17 to 20+ ppg should be enough to win a decent amount of games.

Agreed with the improvements, and I personally don't think the sky is falling. I just want to see a solid O line performance and the back 7 of the defense stand tall. Also interested in seeing the D linemen and what they can do and Shaq, of course. Please, Football Gods, no more injuries!

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
