Kyle Love: "People are giving Kawann a lot of crap about it."

“Really, the thing now is people are doing a lot of play action, a lot of seven-, eight-man protections," said Love, who was re-signed two weeks ago after being cut at the end of training camp. “People are giving Kawann a lot of crap about it. What they don’t realize is this man is getting double- and triple-teamed. You know what I mean?"

“Whenever a guy makes a lot of buzz in this league, the focus becomes on him," Love said. “A lot of times teams will do their protections just depending on one guy. When J.J. Watt's in the game, people do stuff around him.

“That’s kind of the situation here. People are doing a lot of things to kind of slow him down. To the unseen eye, they don’t really know. They just think he’s having a bad year."

Part of the blame should be going to those around Short. Defensive ends Charles Johnson and Kony Ealy don’t have a sack. Pass-rush specialist Mario Addison has only one.

“The guys that’s around [Short], we all have to come together," Love said. “When we get those one-on-ones we have to win."

“I don’t sense him being frustrated," Love said. “I know it can be frustrating. But he comes every day the same person. He works hard. He does the extra things. He’s going to continue to work because that’s the kind of guy he is."

As for the success Love has had, he shrugged that off.

“Ah, man, I’m just out there working hard," he said. “Trying to make something positive out of the situation. Nothing too major. I’m not too big into stats, sacks, tackles or whatever. The only thing that matters to me is W's."

Two things:

1) If you're asking for a top of the market contract then you need to produce regardless of how much the offense is scheming against you.

2) We've seen that Star is the one getting doubled a lot of the time.

He's really not playing that badly, but he's not close to the level expected of someone asking for the type of contract he is. Love might be our best DT right now.

JJ Watt gets doubled like every play and still produces. Ive never really thought it was an excuse.

double/triple teams on KK?  hahahahaha.  with the double on Star, that leaves Kony and CJ completely free to hit the QB, save a RB back to protect.  and it's not that anyone is giving him hell.  he asked for a lot of money.  more scrutiny comes with that.  people are waaaay too fuging sensitive.

What's most concerning for me is the fact that he and Star are getting pushed off the line like toddlers.

Which is what 2 people vs one will do. The hyperbole here is getting stale.

The issue is our DEs are innefective when the inside is getting attention like this

Lots of excuses. Triple team?

Give me a fugging break. 

All Love had to say is, "Hey, he's a great player. He's working really hard and the stats will come. I'm not worried about anything."

There: you support Short but don't make up excuses.

Leadership trickles down.

Excuses have become the identity of the 2016-17 Carolina Panthers.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
