Recommended Posts

I won't be posting any statistical analysis tonight, but I certainly enjoyed having one thread last week as a place to gather key stats & analysis.  So, here's a thread for just that.

Any key stats, any nice game analysis, please post it here.

I'll have some game analysis and stats tomorrow evening.

Rapid Reactions: Panthers 2-0 After Toppling Texans

http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-texans-week-2-2015-rapid-reactions/

Houston’s Horrid Ground Game

It’s hard to win in the NFL without a run game, and the Texans don’t have one without injured back Arian Foster. They gained just 24 yards on 11 carries in the first half and just 37 more in the second. It’s the eighth time in their last nine regular-season games that the Panthers have held an opponent below 100 rushing yards. It was the first time they’ve done it despite being without LB Luke Kuechly and DT Star Lotulelei.

Joe Person has some instant analysis.  Wow, 29 incompletions for Mallett:

Defense taking care of bad quarterbacks

The Panthers have yet to face a good passer. They will next week when Drew Brees comes to town.

But the defense did its part against Blake Bortles and Ryan Mallett, who made his third career start Sunday.

Mallett had 29 incompletions, but made things interesting late.

Playing in place of Luke Kuechly, Klein had a key interception. The Panthers had taken Klein out in a lot of passing situations, but he was on the field and made a nice drop in coverage to pick off Mallett.

Charles Johnson’s pressure on Mallett forced an intentional grounding on the Texans’ final drive.

Official JJ Watt stats from first half: 4 tackles, 1 QB hurry, 1 pass defensed. Not bad, considering.

    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
