Indecisive route running contributed to both interceptions. He faked Cam out on both of the plays, the first one he acted like he was going inside in front of the defender but kep going vertical. The second he started running to Cam’s left then stopped as Cam threw a pick expecting Ian to keep moving.  Both of these are correctable and I hope Thomas will continue to get better and develop the chemistry with Cam.

Yep.  He's got the skills, just needs the discipline in his game.  His ceiling is unreal and he had another great 3rd down catch today that didn't count.

Agree, on that one int cam was getting rushed and equally rushed the throw and put it on a bad spot. Thomas could have done a better job reacting to the ball. Just a good defensive play

I put blame on them equally.

First INT was definitely Thomas but sitting in an open area is often what he’s supposed to do when the 2nd one happened. Little unclear if that was his fault.

I thought the same at first but he didn’t just sit, he started to move and then stopped. When you just sit, like Olsen typically does, he doesn’t flinch and puts his hands out expecting the pass. These are subtle split second decisions that come with experience.

Jeez,.. OJ Howard looked almost like a lost cause his first season,... I know because I live in Orlando and get the Bucs games,...yuck.

Now he's looked like a first round tightend,.. good routes, catches strong,.. blocks well.

Ian was drafted later,.. was thrown into the Olsen shoes really fast. No excuse, hes got to get better,.. but we won so everyone should chill.  Also chill the Cam sucks stuff. His Ints were on receivers, he threw good passes, made the right decisions.  

DJ is starting to come on, Samuel got through the game without injury,..Ian will get better.  Great teams often start off ugly,.. but if you can get to 3-1 ugly, imagine what happens when it clicks?

Ian had some nice plays, not sure who is to blame on those 2 routes.  One time it looked like he was supposed to sit down and Cam threw a bad pass.  Hard to tell really.  Cam certainly made some bad decisions throughout the day.  I think the offense would work better if we stayed with what is working.  Early on we had some nice passing plays and it looked like an easy victory then we got all conservative and kept trying to run up the middle which just wasn't working but we kept doing it because we have the lead.     None of this is surprising because it is a recurring theme of the Rivera era.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
