Who Impressed/Who Depressed vs Patriots

[The Huddler]

I actually feel better after this game than I did after either of the prior two games that we won.

yet we had the biggest reactionary blow up of the preseason..

 

by someone who should be expected to set an example around here. 

[SIGCHI222]

Shaq more than impressed.  fuger tackles with a violence rarely seen.  Thomas Davis presented his eventual successor at the draft.  Gettleman is what we needed 10 years ago.

[The Huddler]

Folkerts looked like pure garbage. I guess he was hurt, but if you are hurt bad enough to get rocked every play, he needed to get pulled. Wayy to much inside penetration. 

 

Should have tested out the Remmers C Williams RT combo

[SIGCHI222]

Folkerts made me have a comeapart. 

I cannot watch that shiit no more.  Please God if it comes to it, let Remers replace Ryan and let Williams play RT.

Old man Dwan Edwards was as impressive as anyone out there on 1st string tonight. Don't need to hear anyone calling for "youth" at DT because the man still has it covered. :)

Until #6 began punting line drives, special teams did very well. Color me impressed.

Corey Brown needs to sit. A guy in the row in front of us was counting his drops. 5 drops & 1 catch. He had his hands on every one of those 5 drops. You could tell Shula was giving him chances for redemption all night, he played all game, but he failed. Terribly.

Jonathan Stewart. I was deeply disappointed by his running. No other RB had as much trouble as he did. Maybe he does need to practice more.

Impressed: Defense (Especially LBs), Cotchery, Ginn, Olsen, special teams, McDermott, Tolbert, Lucas, Boykin, and Bersin.

Depressed: OL - Cam got hit way too much and they had trouble pushing the line against the Pats in the running game. Stewart showed no explosion, Whittaker showed why he is not an every down back. Todman was a rag doll hoping for a crease to show up. CAP was bad with less than 3 ypc on 6 carries and could not run over the smallest man on the field even with a 5 yard hole. CAP was a pinball that got smacked to the ground as soon as he met a player head on (just like college). It looks like he runs into a wall whenever he collides with a defender. Byrd had a horrible day. The third team defense.

SELF DESTRUCT: Corey Butterfingers Brown had a cut worthy performance that may have supplanted the worst preseason performance in Panthers history held by Jeff Lewis in 2001. That led to starting Weinke week 1 without reps in the preseason or training camp.

Horrible: Ron Rivera and Mike Shula with their play calling and game time decisions. Always go away from the players that get you the wins seems to be their motto until week 10. Someone needs to hire Rivera a team of big data sports psychologists as an analytic consultancy that can explain to him the impact of his game time decisions on the team as a whole.

He had 2 drops.

[IGSaint]

Ginn Impressed me. I think he can slip into that number 2 WR spot. He has a 800-900 yard potential season in him. 

[GRWatcher]

He had 2 drops.

Who did? Corey? Nah. Watch the game again. I'd say 3 with Cam , 1 with Anderson & 1 with Webb. He also caught 1 from Anderson. He played the entire game. 

[TylerDurden]

Impressed - Cam, Ginn, CAP, Fozzy, Olsen, Ealy, Tillman.

Depressed - Brown, Folkerts, Stew, Byrd.

I was depressed with Rivera for not playing Wegher more and earlier.

Expected that.

Preseason Three is when you tend to see the least playing time for the fringe guys.

Next week I'm guessing you'll see 'em plenty.

[JawnyBlaze]

Him being a "fringe guy" depresses me.  Fozzy and Todman should be the fringe guys, in my opinion.

I'd say Todman is.  Fozzy is a matter of opinion.  He actually played well tonight.

Runningback depth is probably where the toughest choices are gonna have to be made.
