Another fan base thinking outdated ways are how you stop Cam....

pressure Cam and he will falter? Doesn't seem like any opponent has a clue how crazy good Cam has been the last couple seasons under pressure.  It ain't 2012.   Last two seasons Cam has been one of the best in the NFL when pressured. 

As far as running at us.  The Gore style RBs are the ones we always seem to contain.  It is the speeder RBs we tend to bottle up and allow the one or two big runs that always throw are defensive efforts out of whack 

Pressure up the middle is definitely the best way to get after Cam. That's why they said they should run(A-gap) blitz. Up the middle pressure is when he starts back-footing really high throws and and tries to back out of the pocket and can take huge losses if he gets sacked. Luckily the middle is exactly where the strength of our line is located and their LB's are garbage so I don't expect much at all from them if they do try to come at him from there.

This isn't about what Colts fans are saying... but an interesting stat from Peter King about why Panthers should win tonight.   I wasn't really seeing another gameday thread where I could post this...
 

Quote

 

Take away the glitzy quarterbacks tonight, look at the gritty running games, and you see another reason why Carolina should be 7-0 shortly before midnight in Charlotte.

• Total rushing yards, past 10 regular-season games

Panthers: 204, 135, 133, 119, 172, 105, 194, 209, 123, 271.  
Colts: 75, 120, 110, 60, 133, 93, 64, 64, 1*, 110.

*Not a typo. 10 carries, 1 rushing yard against Dallas last December.

• Average rushing yards per game, past 10 regular-season games

Panthers: 166.5.
Colts: 83.0.

The Panthers have rushed for double the yards—almost precisely—of the Colts over the past 10 games. So even after importing Frank Gore and Todd Herremans in the offseason so Indianapolis would be more competitive on the ground, add “construction of a running game” to the myriad jobs GM Ryan Grigson has on his plate to get this team back to the top of the AFC.

well, the Kalil lose will be interesting.  Both in pass and run.  Stewart had also been doing a lot of underrated dirty work running behind the C/G.

Anyone nervous the Colts are going to come out firing?

 

Everyone in that building is accustomed to having their taints licked by everyone else...well other than the owner.  Just a hunch, I think that they come out slinging it to try to get a lead and make us throw more than we want.

no doubt. luckily the rain is supposed to hit the hardest early on, so hopefully they'll fug up royally and we'll get a turnover or six

They won't be able to run against us. Gore is not his old self, and even his old self would still struggle to run on us. Their Offensive line is also suspect. This means Luck will be slinging it. Yes he's struggled this year, But Andrew Luck is a good quarterback and capable of big games. we need to respect that. can't give him all day to throw so i think the pressure from our Dline will make him dance around and throw inaccurate passes. Hilton will be neutralized by Norman. He'll start trying to force things and this is where i see us getting a few turnovers. Our Offense will be fine. it's already much better than advertised. they have no defense. 31-17 panthers.

I think the Panthers would be ok with this. Our whole gameplan usually revolves around stopping the run and forcing the pass.  There defense will be the reason the Panthers win, they are going to have to control Cam and our run game. That's not going to happen.

 

27-10 Panthers.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
