Went to the game on Monday and I noticed that on a lot of runs, Star was being pushed way off the ball and a lot of the times not by double teams. He would take a quit step to the outside and would be immediately pushed sometimes 4-5 yards back of the line of scrimmage. 

I thought Ealy and Charles Johnson actually played the run very well. The pass rush is another story. 

KK...didn't really notice him. 

Standouts on the RUN: Solai, Love and Johnson

Large surprising disappointments: STAR, KK

Held his own: Ealy

CJ was excellent in stopping the run. He usually is. He just can't rush the passer as well anymore. We are allowing too man guards and tackles to go untouched to our LBs. I don't care how good Keek and Shaq are, you get a 300+ guy on them it's gna take them a a little bit to shed the block. The DTs like you mentioned with Star, have been a problem. We need our LBs free. I know not can't happen every time, but last year, this didn't happen as much.

So what is going on? Is Star just not motivated and KK trying to not get injured?

Honestly I think it's the lack of any fire/passion or swagger.. last year the team had plenty of it to go around.. since norman has left the team it seems it left with him.

Guys did you not see the Jumbo set Tampa was running from in the 1st half they basically out numbered the DL during the run plays of course your gonna get gassed out. It also hurts when you dont run blitz and try to react to offense instead of being the aggressor.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
