No more injury excuses.

Doesn't this just feel like Fox is going to get a pass because of "all" the injuries we have had this season? What "injuries" are they really referring too? Kemo was a big one but we've had time to adjust, and now Leonard (who was playing well) is also out for the season which is another big blow. Chris Harris hasn't played yet which is tough but thats pretty much it. No one on offense has missed any serious game time. And no one on defense but the ones mentioned have either. I even heard Danny Crossman complaining about how the injuries have affected his personnel on SPECIAL TEAMS!!!

Normally I would be simpathetic to all this and would understandably give them a break but this team had its chance to get better and get deeper in the offseason and chose not to. Whether you wanna blaim Peppers or Hurney or Gross or Fox doesn't matter, its all bad management. We had an remarkable oppurtunity to make this team much better during the offseason. We were returning almost all our starters for crying out loud but we lost some key reserves. Reserves that are having to play in those injured spots and rookies who are having to play on special teams (and believe me, none of those guys were doing that in college).

I also would like to point out that if the Patriots can overcome Brady being injured in the first game of the season and still win 11 games then the whole injury excuse goes right out the window. Regardless of who is in there and who isn't we had a chance to improve the depth and didn't, now this FO and coaching staff will have to pay that price. Oh yeah and the fans as well. The Panthers have been outcoached and outmatched in 3 straight games, and for a team that was trying to gain respect around the league this embarrassing stretch of FO decisions doesn't look good.

No more excuses Fox, Crossman, and anyone else on that team (including players), we at the huddle want results!

Fox gets what he deserves. They had 2004 to go back and look at to remind them of what happens when you try to ride the previous seasons talent and NOT BRING IN ANYONE.

Then when players drop like flies- WATCH OUT....

Fox and Hurney are both to blame, not one FA signed, depth lacks, and we have LOST SEVEN (7) STRAIGHT GAMES

7 damn games

We were thin at DT last year.....and Carolina got lucky last season. Not only were we thin we were pretty average there to begin with. Fox doesn't get a pass when someone like Kemo goes down....he should be blamed for not addressing a weakness of last year.....probably the biggest one on defense.

    • The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.
    • It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
    • And to be honest, we weren't really talking about PFF grades either. I brought it into the conversation via a pic that's LLM-related (which apparently some Huddlers took issue with) as an aside for providing more specificity than just sheer numbers
