From Reactive to Proactive

How do we go from being a reactive defense to being a proactive defensive team? I know that right now, we're playing without our starting MLB and LT. We're also playing two rookies at CB. Our pass is good and most of our blitzes are telegraphed. So I'm more or less speaking from the LB and secondary positions. Both positions, aside from Luke and TD, react after the catch has been made. Our CB's gives a 10-15 yard cushion even when the offense needs 3 yards. Rookies, yes I know but that's what the Safeties are for.  Is it coaching, talent or experience? How do we become an aggressively proactive defensive?

If you think we've only been giving cushion on coverage this year, since we've been playing rookies at CB, I have a fantastic bridge (and oldie but a goodie) available for sale to you.

We didn't with Norman and Tillman last year.

I'd say that starts from the top.

 It's a coaching philosophy. To change it you got to cut the head off the snake 

I didn't say that were only giving 10 yards of cushion this year. I only referenced What we're doing this year...well because, that's what we're doing this year. But either way, the question is the same.

I agree but my question about that is Whois the snake. We've changed the HC and GM. So is it Mr Richardson or someone I don't know about?

Rivera is a Fox clone.

They one in the same. We thought we were getting a hard azz all guts no glory type with RR. But he turned out to be gutless when it matters most

Zone blitz more disguise man coverage stop allowing LBs to be stuck on the slot receiver put Boston back to ss and Coleman to fs Boston is the better blitzer and Coleman is better in coverage from the fs make Worley press more kick ealy inside on occasions like we did hardy roll ealy out in coverage and blitz Shaq blitz Thomas and Luke out of the nickel more cb blitz more like we used to with Norman and munnerlyn and last but not least just disguise coverage better honestly I can see what's going on half the time and what receivers gonna be open I think the opposing oc can too keep the same basic principles but Jesus H Christ disguise them like a professional should

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
