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.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
