The Gambling man and doubling down

If you have even visited a gambling table much you will eventually understand every gambler looses. Lady luck is a fickle mistress who makes you feel on top of the world or crushed under it.

This is exactly how the Carolina Panthers have operated for more than a year. We have bet the farm that our defense and offensive would hit the jackpot at the right time in the game without any adjustments. Well the devil took his due in the Super Bowl and now we are doubling down. A dangerous trend is happening and as Kenny Rodgers said "you need to know when to fold them" and walk away.

No longer can we keep expecting the big play. It's time to play small ball and get ahead of the count. We have a team that can get a lead and that's important. After that we need to adjust and keep that lead. We need to stop looking for more jackpots because they are just a mirage. Let KB and Funch eat up space in the middle. Let Tolbert, Fozzy, and Cap get you 5 on a screen. Cam if it's not there tuck the ball and get 3. So long as you are moving forward your not moving back. When you gamble you always lose eventually so we need to play smart and sound from now on.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
