Opinions: can Panthers produce enough pass rush against Rogers?

The Broncos chased him around all game and made him very uncomfortable.  If he can't sit in the pocket and pick the secondary apart that's a plus. If they can chase him down and put him on his ass when he scrambles, that's a major plus.

Our pass rush isn't as strong as Denver's. Will they risk sending blitz packages against him or hope for the best without fancy blitzes?  If they can't plant him in the ground, it may be a long day.  Opinions?

We wont shut him down like the Broncos did. They blew GB out, we don't have to do that. All we need is to 1 more point. I think we will mix it up. Some blitzes, some 4 men rushes. I'm really hoping Dwan Edwards is able to get healthy by game day.

Allen vs Bakhtiari and Bene vs Cobb are the key matchups.

Bakhtiari is the weak link on the GB OL and Allen has had success against him before. If Allen can generate consistent pressure on Rodgers blindside then we can force Rodgers into taking some early chances on throws.

Rodgers loves to get the ball out quick to Cobb if it's there and if Bene can keep tight coverage on him for the first 3 seconds of the snap then it allows the pass rush time to get to him. Chris Harris, who is probably the best slot CB in the NFL, locking down Cobb was the key to the Broncos defense Sunday night.

We'll find out soon.  We definitely don't have a pair of edge rushers like Ware/Miller, but I have a lot of hope that our pass rush will get much better down the stretch once we get Big Money back and get Dwan Edwards back to help out our DT rotation.  In the meantime, looks like we may get Addison back this week which should help.  Our pass rush looked good against the Colts until late in the game when our current lack of depth was exposed.  The Colts' OL being allowed to tackle also didn't help matters.

Our main problem right now is injuries. Shaq is out, who would be fantastic for LB blitzes. Dwan is back out practicing at least in limited amounts, not sure if he will be ready to go on Sunday, so KK and Star get tired out eventually if the Offense struggles. Addison is out and CJ is IR-Desg-to-Return, so our DE's are having a heart attack on the field by 4th Q. I wouldn't worry about J-No, he will be there. Norwell is out presumably for a few weeks, so get used to seeing Silatolu out there (Ugh why is he still here). 

 

Thank Based God for Ryan Kalil's magic recovery.

Looks like Shaq will be back and Addison was at practice with a helmet today, so that's a good sign as well.

Rodgers is going to locate the weakest link in the secondary and light his ass up. I expect to see alot of three wide with a TE on the opposite side locate who harper is guarding and work him all day.

If they want to make Richard Rodgers the focal point of the passing game they have my full blessing to go right ahead.

They're definitely going to try to isolate Roman Harper in space one on one.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
