This Makes me Smile

This article by Bucky Brooks I find very interesting for a couple of reasons. The first being the fact that he seems to have not seen many games this season as he compliments out defensive line and their ability to get to the QB (yet last week we had our first sack from a DE since Thanksgiving). The second being that our biggest weakness is our passing game due to the lack of a "true no.1 receiver". The comedy continues when he says that bracketing Olsen and leaving the other guys open is a viable option when as we've seen throughout the year, it really hasn't impacted the game a whole lot. 

Either way, if the biggest weakness we actually have is the passing game then i'd be far more optimistic than I am. However, Tillman being injured worries me as I think he helps a lot with the secondary calls as evidences by the way the defense played when he was injured initially.

He has been hating on the panthers all season on the "move the sticks" podcast.  Daniel Jeremiah has been calling him out on it.  I think he's just not a good scout to be honest with you. He hates us because we don't have a #1 receiver and it's all he can think about.  The benefit is you can't just stop one guy because we have multiple guys who can make a play and it's hard to read what we are up to.

I still don't think the Tillman injury exposed us then or will that much going forward.

I think we altered our DL approach....and the lack of a pass rush was exploited.  Truth is Tillman can't run with people.  So whether it is Tillman or McClain.....no pass rush is going to get guys beat.  Tillman knew the D, knows techniques, etc.  McClain doesn't have all those tricks and knowledge in his back pocket (which will be missed).  But I still say the lack of pass rush once CJ returned has been our biggest issue.  Pass rush declining paired up w/ the injury was bad news.....made it seem as it was the lost of the CBs when IMO it was both but more so the pass rush disappearing.

Ealy and Addision need bigger roles.

Bucky in the past has usually always been pretty glowing and supportive of the Panthers, even in our mediocre seasons.

Unless he's just being forced to be the contrarian it's kinda weird to see him be so critical of us all year this season though when we've got the best team we've ever had.

Woops Bucky you just revealed that you haven't been watching the Panthers this season. Cats out of the bag now. You've lost your credibility, and I hope you lose your job. You need to find a line of work you're passionate about. Stop tricking your employer into thinking you know what you're talking about. You're stealing that paycheck.

    • There probably isn’t an orthopedic surgery that has had more improvement in technique and outcomes over the last two decades than the acl repair. Because of its importance in pro sports and the sheer number that surgeons do there have been lots of opportunities to practice 1. Better techniques - arthroscopic v open surgery means people heal faster  2. More training - all sports med surgeons have tons of experience doing them 3. better imaging - later generations of mri are more sensitive  4. better therapy - PTs have gotten better at rehabbing them and the theories of rehab have improved a lot. No idea about brooks in particular tho, but I’d describe that overall situation as “not great”
    • If Freeling or either of the Utah OTs dropped to 19 I'd be more than happy honestly. Our OT situation isn't great with an aging Moton at RT and a mess of a situation at LT if Walker goes down at any point in time.  What I'm expecting the Panthers to do is probably draft another weapon like Sadiq or KC Conception. That's been their track record in drafting R1 thus far. None of the defensive talent projected to be around 19 stands out to me. Unless they just want to draft a LB early (Rodriguez,  CJ Allen, Anthony Hill, Jake Gollday).
