Tre Boston is a bright spot

That could have been just the call though. The LBers do that all the time.

Like I said all of this was post snap, and before the QB threw the ball.

Also the LBs do it because although blitzing their assignment is the back out the backfield. It was a totally different look than that.

 Well I'm not gonna pretend that I know the calls because I don't, but I find it hard to believe that he can just blitz anytime he wants.

To be honest it looks like the call was for him to blitz and he just stopped when the QB threw a pump fake and started backing up into a zone. I'll go back and look again.

Who knows? Maybe he was just trying something since he knew it was preseason. I haven't even re watched  the game because I don't think there is much for a novice like me to learn from it.

I like Tre Boston though. I like his athleticism and from what I saw at UNC and with the Panthers so far, he is a good tackler. I'm not going to count that one whiff or the Blount hurdle against him. People keep saying he was spotty at UNC but he switched positions and/or defensive schemes every year he was there and he was often trying to cover up for young players mistakes, which made him look like he was out of position at times.

    • Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay! 
    • It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
    • I like when this big kat is going crazy panther fan and not the pat jersey betting against persona.
