On Paper...


MHS831

Recommended Posts

ON Offense, The Panthers have Ted Ginn as their #1 WR, 33-year old Jerricho Cotchery, Undrafted Philly Brown, and developing rookie-- but not much more than a slant route for now-- WR in Devin Funchess at WR.  The Broncos have a very strong secondary. 

The Panthers have an offensive line that is very young (22, 23) at Guard, a finesse center, and tackles that were found in the NFL's garbage bin.  The Broncos have a fast, athletic DL and equally athletic LBs.  Can Remmers really stop Miller?  Can Blind Side, a bust a year ago, see and stop Ware?  Denver has to have a huge advantage vs. this offense...

...On Paper.

On Defense, the Panther's secondary should have caused an early exit.  The starting FS was a backup journeyman, the SS is a slow, gray--haired, one dimensional, in-the-box veteran.  Two of the starting CBs (#2 and nickel) were mid-season couch potatoes until an injury sent Gettlemen to his emergency Rolodex.  The Panthers do have 2 all-pro linebackers, but one is playing with a freshly-broken arm.  On the DL, once mighty Charles Johnson has fallen and can't seem to get up, although he is showing signs of returning to form of late.

Denver has stud TEs, fast and effective WRs, and perhaps the greatest QB of all time.  They should have  a field day against the Panthers...

...On Paper.

As hard as the reporters try, there are some things that just don't add up.  The Panthers are one of them.  The sense of family, the fact that Cam and Luke make everyone around them better, and the fact that this team and coaching staff have on-field-in-locker-room-off-field chemistry is no small matter.  The fact that the coaching staff has been together for a while is significant.  The Panthers have glaring weaknesses on paper, but a team that nobody can figure out.  That is why they will win this game by double digits...

...On the field.

Today is our day.

    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
    • Hoping someone tells us Bussi was in the starter's crease for the morning skate. Otherwise, place your 1st shot- 1st goal bets! Any closer to a deal that could land a 2C in Trocheck or Brayden Schenn? Or land a winger in Alex Tuch or reach for Jordan Kyrou?
