Safety looks as unsafe as ever

[SIGCHI222]

Safety can be picked up after cuts.  Problem is...there will be a frenzy when over 1300 NFL players are available all at once and Hurney is at the helm.

 

God help us.

Think Prom forerunner mentioned this but the lack of pressure from the DL is maybe more of an issue than safety atp.

Our DL got plenty of pressure in game 1. They didn't do much game 2, but Tenessee has arguably the best line in the league (definitely top 3). Plus, I don't believe Star played. If we don't get some pressure against the Jags, then be worried.

The position of safety is beginning to feel like wide receiver on offense. We just can't get it right, and something always seems missing. 

Lucas Ewing says it best

"The safeties looked bad, plain and simple. Mike Adams gave up the first touchdown of the game, a wide open score by Delanie Walker; Colin Jones missed basically every tackle he attempted, L.J. McCray was saved by his receiver dropping an touchdown pass and Damian Parms looked invisible on the football field. If the team had decent depth at the position, it would be safe to say that none of these guys would make the team this year . . . at least not with today’s performance."

What a difference a game makes, huh? The thing is, the Titans have a legit offense, and we didn't even see their best receiving corps out there.

And on an off note, the Panthers most certainly need to address covering tight ends, as we were bottom feeders at that last season.

But getting specifically back to safety, I just don't know why Gettleman let Barry Church get away. At some positions we always seem to be penny wise and pound foolish.

 

Are you a UNC fan? 2nd preseason game TD OMGAH. What you fail to mention is that it took 7 plays, with no game planning, after playing each other for a week, I a period during which plays are tried to have their effectiveness in certain situstions....
