Merry Christmas Huddle: A Nice Play By Bradberry To Warm Your Heart

First of all, I just finished watching the actual game yesterday after being busy when it was live.

Thank goodness I didn't see it live, otherwise I would've been highly disappointed and not see the game the way it was.

It was really a game of missed opportunities, and costly mistakes - not a talent issue at all.

If Cam Newton didn't throw those interceptions, and had good footwork on some of his throws; we'd be talking about a 40+ game here by us.

The Falcons employed attacking us in the middle of the field against our linebackers and safeties. What I noticed is how we got gashed in the middle of the field consistently by short plays by their speed running-backs. They were able to take advantage of the 1-2 yard cushion our linebackers and safeties consistently gave in the middle of the field due to our zone scheme, and just beat us by pure speed.

As good as Thomas Davis is, he's just not as fast as he used to be. This was nowhere near a good match-up for them at all, especially without Luke Kuechly.

Aside all that, what really stood out is how amazing our cornerbacks played that game. Especially Bradberry

Take a look at this egregious play:

This play was extremely similar to one that Ryan tested on Bene a Falcon game prior:

As you can see, Bradberry was able to stick with Julio all throughout his route, while Bene got beat real early. 

This is why the Falcons remained pre-dominantly with their runningbacks; they knew that without Kuechly + the fact Thomas Davis just isn't that fast anymore, they could gash up the middle with pure speed and win that matchup. They knew going in that our cornerbacks are gelling, and the few times they did try testing them proved to be futile for the most part.

Don't blame our corners when they're not the issue. 

Also, Bradberry is going to be a beast. He already proved that he can cover top receivers like Julio, and I can't wait to see what his future holds.

Which has nothing to do with what I said.

If you were replying to my main post, I never mentioned Josh Norman.

I only mentioned Bene as the other corner. You're insinuating then that you meant if we still had Bene and Bradberry we would be in the playoffs, so I answered with a logistical answer based on that.

(TL;DR It's a joke to mess with you)

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
