LA Rams Preview. (The two dirtiest coaches Fisher and remember Gregg Williams)

So the Panthers are headed to play their first ever game in LA. This away game gives us a 4pm kickoff, which means we get to make up for the day-drinking we missed from the Cardinals getting bumped up. 

The Rams are 3-4, and have beat the Bucs, Cards and Seahawks (in a 9-3 field goal bonanza). They are a mess this year, which is typical of Jeff Fisher teams. Their best player Todd Gurly has not surpassed 100 yards in a game this season. Their QB situation isn't pretty and their defense is ran by one of the biggest douchebags of all time Gregg Williams (former Saints Bountygate DC). 

My prediction is Panthers dominate all sides of the ball, Luke and Worley get an interception, we sack Goff at least 5 times, stew gets 2 TDs, and Cam gets 2 TD in the air, and one on the ground. 

Panthers 45

Rams 12

“He probably needs to slide a little bit faster,” defensive end William Hayes said, via the LA Times. We’re not going to out there to play dirty. We just play physical and fast. We’re not going to target him because he’s complaining about getting hit.”

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
