I was kinda thinking this too. Has he been taught so much not to "lock in" on KB has it made him start looking away from him too much? 

 

I wish I knew, but all they've been talking about, is spreading the ball around.  As long as you're not forcing too much, then screw spreading the ball around.  You know KB is going to win most 50/50 balls.  You know KB is going to be open on slants, almost by default.  You know Olsen is going to own the seam, and most out routes.  It's making me wonder if he's thinking too much about that, instead of just playing ball...

Here is one of many Julio Jones long receptions. 

Bene on man coverage gets beat as he presses Jones at the line, was not playing off.

My question: Why are Colin Jones and Kurt Coleman within a yard of each other in the middle of the field and no one is there to help Bene? Hopefully Coleman messed up, because if Bene was expected to press the best receiver and then keep up with him down the field with no help.... that is on the coaches.

Falcons second play from scrimmage.

Panthers blitz again. Star doubled. No one comes close. Julio Jones all alone at the top of the screen. Another completion. 

When Star is doubled, KK needs to win. This hasn't been a good contract year performance for KK so far.

Would have to see how Jones and Coleman were lined up before the snap, but from the looks of it this was to Coleman's side of the field and from what I recall Bene pointed at Coleman after this play and gave him a WTF? gesture.

It's actually Worley.  He looked back immediately after the play asking where his safety help was.

3rd and 5, looking for Olsen, never gets off him. KB and Dickson open. 

Remmers destroyed on spin move here.

pass incomplete, Cam hit. 

 

This play/image brings up a good point that Ike Taylor made on the NFL network when talking about the struggles for the Cardinals and Carson Palmer. I'm paraphrasing, but Taylor essentially eluded to the fact that the Cardinals (much like the Panthers) like "big-plays" and rely on long passes to get their offenses going. However, we are seeing early in 2016 that defenses are taking away the long, big yardage plays and that forces QBs like Palmer (and Newton) to have to read defenses, look for the 2nd/3rd options in order to make completions. However, Palmer and Newton are both struggling to do so and aren't showing the ability to take what the defenses give them. 

This image I think is indicative of these sentiments, as both KB and Dickson are wide open. Now, I do think that Newton is more than capable of doing this and needs proper protection (e.g. not having Freeney breathing down his neck). However, based on the performance against the Vikings and ATL, Newton is going to have to scan the field better, read/understand the defense, and get rid of the ball quicker.

OK, Panthers down 14-0. 

Cam played poorly. 

Defensive line got no pressure. 

Safeties were terrible. 

Those were the top 3 issues so far, imo. 

 

Add no consistent running game to the list. I've never seen so many bad exchanges on running plays. CAP and Cam seem to be totally out of sync and I don't see any burst from Tolbert.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
