Fox is just quiet about things....he has never been much of a gameplanner. Eagles know what is coming.....the question is can they stop it.

Smoke and mirrors grasshopper, the preseason was an intentional sham to throw off the opposing teams, ESPN's, talking heads and even the fans. You heard it hear first.

Many make a lot of how some coaches like Belichick is able to game plan and justly so. But there is something to say about Fox's style. There is a reason why the Patriots have had a hard time with the Panthers. There really is no game planning around a Fox lead team. Either you can beat them man to man or you can't. I think that is the reason so many people around the league respect Fox and you hear guys like Gurden say things like "You know when you play a John Fox team they are going to be prepared." It's not like other coaches don't do that or that the Panthers are always on their A game. It's the fact that the players come into a game knowing their job and knowing if they accomplish thier job they are going to win.

Yeah I was thinking faster than typing. FIXED

:cool:

Just figured that the media didn't matter all too much. I mean, after everything is said and done, everyone instantly forgets what "____" said on ESPN about who would win, how the week would turn out and who is going to the superbowl.

Furthering your point actually, I think that Fox completely neglects everything other than football itself. That's a good thing; a coach is supposed to be focused on the game itself. Thus, I just assume he's playing (as in, tricking) the other teams, if he is playing at all.

I want to see a trick play in the opening drive for the Panthers: like the fleaflicker bomb to Moose at the outset of last season's game against Green Bay, except this time I want him NOT to fumble it right after he catches it. :)

I want to beat Philadelphia at their own game -- by completing short passes to our running backs and letting them work their magic. :D

    • Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!
    • Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
    • OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
