I look for the two Giants TEs to get a lot of looks on Sunday...Kevin Boss, seems to be Eli's new safety net with Burress out.

It seems the Panthers don't seem to make TEs a priority...they did better the last two games, I think its going to be imperative this game.

Tight coverage imperative too...Turgovac worries me with his play off the ball..none of those Giants receivers are scarey enough for that from a speed perspective.

I'm most worried about Godrey on TE coverage and deep balls...he had a good game last week, but, in a few games he's looked lost....hopefully, extra film time for him this week will fix that.

Fox has a good record against the Giants and against Coughlin, he knows Giants stadium's and its nuances in bad weather.

I think so much of this is going to be our offense vs. their defense...the longer we are on the field the less time we have to worry about Jacobs and Kemo's absence.

I think, too, the Panthers have a great chance in this game, if they stay within themselves, no mistakes and offensively, they have Smith and the Giants have nothing close to him. Run the ball, PAP to Smith and Muhammed or a back, and if that works, the Panthers will win this game.

Regardless, let's hope for a few losses by some folks and no injuries...stating the obvious.

Should be a great game. Giants are tough team.

IMO I have a sneaky feeling that Kemo is gonna play. He practiced the last day and is questionable for the game. They never siged anyone from the PS and with the possibility of Gibson being out i would feel they would have done that if kemo was gonna be out.

I think we have done a good job as far as the TE is concerned, much better than recent years. Quick passes have often offset our zone and if the pass rush doesnt get there, then we have really struggled. I would imagine our D playing run first while playing close to the LOS. No Kemo hurts on run plays but we picked up from the Giants and use a 3rd end to rush from one of the middle spots in passing situations. The best point was how Fox plays the Giants and Coughlin. People think that the Giants are used to playing in this weather, and make ignorant statements such as "they play in that weather all year." Well it has recently just gotten really cold to a point that matters and they practiced in 90 degree weather this summer. Eli is from the SEC that never goes out of their comfort zone, and they practice indoors. The wind will play a factor for both teams and both could struggle because of it.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
