Panthers Got The L Out The Way. Adjustments Now Must Be Made

I must admit I wanted this to happen. The pressure of going undefeated and winning the SB is a lot. This L also forces adjustments that a W covers up

1. In the playoffs you gotta run man coverage. Teams putting their best WR in the slot to free him up. No pressure and our zone get ripped. It has the last 2 playoffs. I watched Kaep and Wilson look like Brady. One thing about our zone which bothers me the most is lack of press coverage. DB's just letting WR's run freely off the LOS wtf jam their asses. Panthers supposed to be an aggressive tough playing defense. Get that soft zone poo the fug outta here

2. Speaking of no pressure, Allen-CJ are getting too many snaps and not getting to the QB. Rotation of DE's is a must. CJ is done, sad but its the truth

3. Shula play-calling is confusing with 1-2 yards to gain. Throwing the ball, running zone read. Man just power run it and pick up the 1st down

4. Watching game tape on the panthers offense, blitz and taking away the deep ball will be the game-plan. Offense has to do a better job of picking it up. We also need Funchess badly to be that possession WR

5. FG team, although done good today. I'll be damned if we get blocked in the playoffs that send us home. I know Nortman-Gano pattern when it come to kicking field goals, I'm sure opponents can study it too

Not buying this at all. Every problem we had today has been there all season and we've come close more than once it just got us this game.

Not buying the whole "blame it on the pressure to go unbeaten"

I didnt say we lost because of the pressure, but as strahan-howie-jimmy pointed out on Fox, going undefeated is draining. Players tend to focus more going 16-0 than their opponent they're playing

Main reason we lost is cause lack of adjustments. Falcons got demolished 2 weeks ago and made adjustments. Panthers need to do some changes. I'm ready to see more Tre Boston too along with Teddy Williams at corner. I know history show Ron doing a good job putting more players in and out of the rotation and getting success from it

The Zone Defense needs to be revisited. I think your point about the receivers catching balls in the slot is spot on. I have confidence in Rivera and McDermott and think they will make the adjustments. I'm just trying to figure out if they are waiting to make the switch for the big game or if there is another reason they are holding back. We need more QB pressure too, because it's giving these WRs more time to break free from their routes to convert on big downs.

 

I'd say let Norman shut down his guy and push Safety help over to the other DBs. It's time to lean on our talented guys to come up big.

I don't know. The more I think about it, the team just looked completley lost out their today across the board. Something is up. Initially I wanted to blame it on pressure but I don't think so anymore. The entire team seemed uninterested, lost, and care free. Can't really blame it on focus considering a win today would have locked up HFA. Something is defintley up. Nobody even seemed to care after the game was over.

Here's a recommended adjustment:

STOP PLAYING ZONE ON 3RD AND LONG.

But, according to WhineAboutIt, the fact that the Panthers DID play zone on 3rd and long and let Ryan complete almost 80% of his passes and let them have a 3rd down conversion rate upwards of 75% or more is Cam's fault.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
