Ed Werder - ESPN...lulz

Big name guy....not being very good at his job.

Werder tweeting out this morning that Carolina is trying to push Tillman to get him back...b/c they want him to matchup on Julio Jones.  LOL.  He gets paid for that. 

My 5 yr old knows that the Norman career explosion began last season with shutting down Julio Jones.  Peanut?  Seriously?  How do people get paid just to blurt out random stuff.   I mean, it takes very little effort to get some stuff right.  Ron Rivera would need to be fired on site if that was his "plan"

Could be possible depending on how we run the defense.  We could be puttting Tillman on Julio, rolling coverage to whatever side that is since they like moving Julio so much.  Putting Josh Norman on whoever else to make them non existent. Focus on stopping freeman, then mercilessly pummeling Matt Ryan into oblivion.

But meh, who knows.

Actually, teams have been moving their #1 WR around a lot the last few weeks against the Panthers especially moving them to the slot.  It makes sense that the Panthers would want Tillman back for this game as slot coverage has been hurt in his absence with Bene moved to #2.  Plus, most of the Panthers more exotic blitzes rely on Norman staying on his side covering 1 on 1.  Clearly the Panthers don't like Norman moving around as it limits what they can do.

This is Deion Sanders' favorite coverage strategy. Put your best CB on their WR2 and double their WR1. Two is pretty much always going to be better than one in coverage even when the one is as good as Norman and that way you can better eliminate two receiving threats rather than just one.

Josh Norman would probably spontaneously combust if you told him he was covering Roddy White instead of Julio, but it's a very solid strategy.

Disagree. 

Elite WRs destroy double teams and bracket coverage week in and week out in today's NFL.  Take Antonio Brown....the double/bracket/whatever doesn't take him out.  The elite CB play has. 

I don't think you need to overly force it.  Norman doesn't need to be on any player 100% of the time.  He has never done that.  MOST snaps?  Yes, most snaps Norman needs to be w/ Julio.  Which is what Ron will do.

    • They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.
    • I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there. 
    • 10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
