vs Miami - What specific improvements do you want to see?

[Jeremy Igo]

I would like to see Cam come out and hit a nice deep pass. The long game was non existent last week.

I would like to see Jackson continue to improve, maybe a pick.

I would like to see the first string defense in general dominate, a three and out to start the game.

[jbland]

I want to see the O-line hold their own and give cam time. 

[Moose Hoover]

Better punting! Palardy needs to get his stuff together, I'm so tired of him screwing up and getting burned!

[hanklee89]

Better tackling, especially at linebacker. There were a number of drive-extending plays in the Buffalo game that were triggered by bad open-field tackling. That should improve with reps for the backups. 

Secondary. Someone other than Donte Jackson needs to make a play. 

I don't know if it's improvement per se, but I'd like to see either of the backup QBs put up another solid performance like they did vs Buffalo. If they both struggle, the Panthers will enter the third game of the preseason with questions about their backup QB. Now, it might not matter if Hurney looks for an affordable veteran on the market, but it would be ideal if the best candidate is already on the roster.

Better hope new guys on defense improve if not we are screwed this year. We looked awful and then backups behind them were no better. I think we are in for a long year. Looks like the no winning record back to back season curse is still going to happen.

[Jackofalltrades]

Better run fits, tackling, pressure on QB and coverage...so defense as a whole. 

Better start on O, some running lanes.

See the Dbs atleast be able to cover their own shadow

 

Cam find his touch with Olsen and the WRs

 

a Deeep shot

And More Moore

That's what she said

[OceanPanther]

NO INJURIES

Defensives backs that aren't always chasing the WR down who just torched them.

[WarHeel]

More pressure on the QB. A couple of sacks, perhaps.

If someone could make a tackle on first contact once in a while, that'd be great.

 

[FakePlasticTrees]

A better showing by the first team defense in general.

Greater offensive sharpness. A couple of early passes at Buffalo were wildly off target.

Because Seymour played so poorly Thursday I believe this game takes on great importance for him, preseason game notwithstanding. Without marked improvement, his confidence is likely shot.

Torry Smith was invisible Thursday. I expect greater overt involvement Friday.

A little special teams shenanigans may be in order.
