Which Player Will Have The Most Impact Tonight?

So, since kickoff is mere hours away, I thought it'd be fun to predict who'd have the most impact on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. Here's my predictions, and feel free to add anyone you think will do good as well!

 

Offense: RB J-Stew

The fact it's game 1 and Stewart is healthy is real appealing. Notice how we had nearly no run-game once Stewart was injured. His powerful and tough runs help bring forward the chains. Adding a healthy J-Stew adds a whole new dimension to our offense we couldn't have the whole superbowl. I believe he'll make known the missing presence of Malik and Trevathan on the Broncos D.

 

Defense: DE Kony Ealy

I just like this kid. He's been improving steadily and carefully. I think he'll have a big game against the Broncos, and take advantage of Okung. He's shown his flashes in the Superbowl, being the probably Superbowl MVP had the Panthers won, and I wouldn't be surprised to see such a performance again. He'll be key to racking up a possible 2 sacks that game, and stopping Siemian from making plays. I just feel he's the most poised to make an impact.

 

Special Teams: P Andy Lee

Seriously, I was probably the most hyped up about a punter last week's preseason. I honestly hoped the Panthers would just go 3 and out on every drive just to see him punt. I saw something I've rarely seen at punter lately, and that's a good punt. Not one of those punts that goes 80 yards down the field while your coverage is only halfway there, but the kind that goes up high in the air and lands beautifully in an area thats decently deep, but your coverage is all over them. I believe he will he key for our defense in order to have a breakout D performance. Broncos have a punting issue from what I hear. We are set. Field position was against us last game, this year, we should have the clear advantage. 

 

Lee for MVP.

Going to go with that 2015 draft class

Offense:  Funchess-  taking his play to the next level and playing with a chip on his shoulder.  Should have less attention with KB out there.

 

Defense: Shaq-  think this is going to be his coming out party.  Now that the game has slowed down for him playing beside those other 2 guys.  His versatility is going to be bad news for a Brand new QB who has never thrown a pass.  Would not be shocked to see him end up with a sack and a int

I'll give my predictions:

Offense - Devin Funchess is going to have 6 catches, 100+ yards and a touchdown.

Defense - Kawann Short wants an extension and is going to tear through the line. Two sacks and a forced fumble.

Final: 23-10, Panthers win.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
