And the team in general, to Bill Voth...

Norman played "mild mannered" vs Falcons

 

Quote

Did the fallout from New York cause Josh Norman and the Panthers' defensive backs to play with less 'swagger' against Atlanta?

"I saw him try to be mild-mannered. I've watched him the last two years now and he's geeked when he gets to Julio. He is through the roof. You're lucky if you can touch Josh because he's just so in tune, so locked in and ready to go. I felt like — just watching from my house — I didn't see him after he made a play, get up yelling and running 50 yards to celebrate ... A lot of guys were just trying to make sure that they played within the rules."

 

Can that group be successful playing like that?

"To be honest, no. That's something that coach has talked about all year — 'You need to be yourselves.' The fact that we weren't out there just being ourselves — that hurt us."

This interview was on his regular Tuesday time slot on WFNZ yesterday. The most interesting aspect was that he said everyone has been doing exactly the same thing they have done for years but winning has put a microscope on every single thing.

There is the old saying that success is sometimes tougher to handle than adversity.

Josh played very soft,   afraid of upsetting Rivera,  imo.         Looked like Norman was in the doghouse.

Pretty cool when a coach takes the teeth out of the defense. 

That would be contrary to what Rivera said he wanted them to do but that is quite the speculation.

Lets just say if we dont have that fire at home, after our first loss, before our week off, with the #1 seed on the line, I really don't want to see what happens in the playoffs.

I have a feeling they will be amped. I expect a very physical game.

Not necessarily the end of it all. As was posted in another thread a few days ago, quite a few Super Bowl winning teams went into a slump at the end of the year before the playoffs. 

Ultimately as long as they come out swinging in three weeks, we'll be good.

I was mentioning this to my family. For the first time all year we played hesitant and without the aggressive nature that got us on this winning streak. We were looking for the penalties and played worried about potential penalties. Now I am speaking just about the defense but it did remind me of the playoff game against SF when we just got too worried about the refs.

Atlanta did a great job getting after Cam and taking away the deep ball. Cam for the first time all year showed little patience in dumping it off partly due to him being under constant pressure. I feel like we could have run more because we were having success but it seemed like we pressed a little too much.

Honestly it was one game and I am not concerned. I think Norman and the rest of the defense will get their swagger back, we just need to play the same ball we have been playing all year

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
