Man the one thing that jumped out was that Delaire was getting constant pressure on Russel Wilson from the edge causing him to get happy feet and step up into the pocket where KK and company were causing havoc. I wonder if he even gets a jersey this Sunday, I sure hope he does..

It will be the travesty of the season if Rivera's insistent call to give our aged defensive ends the majority of the snaps over guys like Early and Delaire cost us against a mobile Qb like Russell.

I'd be willing to bet folding money that Rivera has kept Ealy and Delaire out for the specific purpose of playoff pressure. Keep them healthy and fresh, because if either goes down in regular season, we're in trouble. Addison, Ealy, and Delaire are our speed rushers and having them fresh at this point is huge.

Give Delaire a jersey, if you have to pick a position to take one away, make it receiver or RB. If it's RB, sorry Fozzy, but CAP is running better. If it's WR, I'm assuming Bersin (if he's active). Then again, Bersin does have that tendency to pick up big 3rd downs.

Whatever. Dress whoever helps us win.

Has anyone coined the nickname "The Fresh Prince of Delaire?" If not then I want the credit.

yeah, that was coined like immediately after signing him

I do not understand why Delaire has not been active more on game days.  He is a pure speed rusher who has shown his ability to beat lineman off the LOS quickly.  Maybe he plays the run poorly...I don't know.  At least keep him active and bring him in on passing downs.  Johnson and Allen just do not get any pressure and strike no fear into the hearts of our opponents. 

I would rather have Delaire active and deactivate a backup DT...after all, Ealy can play the DT spot if needed.

Yeah like on day one.

Yeah he started out great. With the lack of production at DE you'd think we'd have seen him more often.

I have a feeling Sean McDermott and Rivera are going to have something up their sleeve defensively. Maybe some looks we haven't seen all year.

That would be nice. We sure as hell need more in the QB pressure dept., to help out that battered secondary.

You have to be real careful with pure speed rushers against a QB like Wilson.  He LOVES to get outside of the pocket and that is where he does most of his damage.  Even with rushing him, you MUST be under control and not give up the edge.

This... I feel like they started simplifying schemes after we locked...

Will be interesting to see for sure. Gotta keep that turnover game up.

True statement.  We won't have to worry about that with Johnson and Allen, as they will still be standing in the exact spot they lined up in after the play is over.

I hope they prove me wrong Sunday (and throughout the playoffs).

Actually, sans the numbers, PFF graded Allen well over the last 4 weeks of the season, and I think he's done a decent job of applying pressure down the stretch, just hasn't gotten to the QB.  CJ on the other hand will live on his knees right where he lines up...might as well just play 10 on 11 if Big Money is allowed to start again.

Allen has been decent against the run as well.  We just need to get to the QB. It will be a long day if Wilson has plenty of time and a clean pocket.  Same thing with the remaining QB's in the playoffs...Rogers, Palmer, Brady, Big Ben, etc.  Not saying we still can't win those games without getting pressure, it just puts more pressure on Cam and the offense.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
