Safety play

This has been the season for the D besides the lack of pass rush.

Norman wouldnt have done anything today.

This group has looked as lost as Nakamura.  Norman had his first Big year last year.  In zone D he doesnt shadow guys around and safeties are reponsible for a Good 40% of coverage.  Coleman had a ProBowl year last year and Harper while slow, didnt  make mistakes.

These young guys have made some mistakes but Boston has looked lost and Coleman as well slid over at the other spot.  You saw the first long pass to Julio to start the game.  Worley loo,ed to get toasted, but there was a reason he got up furious pointing and yelling at the safeties.  Remember when ODB looked to burn Norman but he said it wasnt his play on the D.  This is the same.  There are quite a few times it appears our corners are getting toasted when in fact they are just trying to recover from a safety mistake.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
