Tonight we got some motivation and fire to work with. Yes we all wanted a win but at least can walk away saying it went down to the wire and then some. I dont think any sports pundit would have even thought that the game would have even been that close or we would have a chance to even win it. Now that the beer indused anger has worn off I for one can say the team showed panther pride even in this lose. Sure copzilla is gonna talk noise but he cant say this team is some push over that will lay down because its the New York Giants. The defense made some mistakes and I think they realize it and I think its gonna give them motivation. After the game John beason said in an interview on the panthers page

http://www.panthers.com/Gameday/Default.aspx?id=31470).

"It's hard for it to hurt right now. I think the word ‘disappointment' comes to mind before ‘pain,'" Beason said. "When you go out and play hard and get beat, it hurts. But when you go out and make a lot of mistakes, you're just disappointed in yourself."

"We need to go back and correct some things. I need to correct some things. I can't play the way I played tonight if we're going to be successful on defense. I truly feel like our offense played well enough to win. We didn't (on defense). We didn't get out-executed as far as scheme. I thought we had a great scheme. I think Trgo (defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac) called a great game. We just need to be more disciplined, and I need to do my job."

I think as a team and especially on defense get it and will get after it starting with practice this week. Am I worried that atlanta will win the division? yes sure who wouldnt be but I dont think this team for one minute is going to sit around and let this loss eat at them to the point they cant perform next week and come out flat. Sure we could have won and sure we will lose some of our glamour we gained in the past 2 weeks or so but in all honesty if the road to the superbowl was easy everyone would be champions. I expect this team to come back with a new fire under it ass and be the first team to win on the road in our division. besides did we really want to have 2 weeks off considering how flat we came out after the bye week. Hang in there panther fans we will get there yet. I just hope the panthers take this lose use it as motivation so we can at least get another shot at New York.

If it was almost any other team carolina would have won. Far as Im concerned this was the preview of the nfc championship game. If anything we got some film on what they will try to do against us next time and we will respond in force. Now we got to take care of business next week so hopefully this loss wasnt too devastating for the panthers and their hunger for a title grows.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I understand the concerns--he is not P. Sewell or Joe Thomas.  He has technique issues and was not great in the run game and was good in pass protection when UGA did not pass much.  Then there is the immediate need vs long term need perspective.   I did not see Freeland being there-frankly. Here is why:   He has nearly 35" arms and his hands are large (10.5").  He ran a 4.93 40 at the combine.  He is very agile.  His vertical was 33.5".   Physically, he is a freak. He is 21 and he seems very intelligent (coachable). You have to remember, some of these rookies are 24, 25 years old. Freeling is A team player.  His shortcomings are fixable.  Short arms (as with the kids from Utah and Miami) are not fixable.  The Run on OTs began at #9: Fano (picked 10 picks earlier) has 32" arms and his hands are 9".  He did not play in the SEC like Freeling.  Many think the short arms project him to guard. Mauigoa (picked 10th) has 33" arms.  He is a solid player, but his arms make him borderline as a T (they seek 34" and up as ideal)  Kayden Proctor (picked 12th overall) struggled in pass protection and projects by many to RT or G.  Weight management is a concern. So it is possible that Freeling will be the first LT taken who actually plays LT.  (he also has the ability and experience to play RT)  His questions are fixable and not limited to physical limitations.  Here is the question:  If you know that you need a Tackle, and you could choose between all four of these players, who would you pick? I am not sure that Freeling would not be the player I selected if given the opportunity to take any of them.

      The more I think about this pick the more I like it. The Icky injury might end up being a blessing in disguise for everyone except Icky unfortunately. If Freeling pans out at LT the Panthers have a good player on a rookie contract at a premium position at a time when they’re going to need to potentially pay Bryce for his next contract. Icky was likely going to command a big salary jump for his next contract and now, there’s a strong justification he’s not going to be worth a big money extension until he rehabs and proves he can still play at a high level. Since he’s finishing his rookie deal this season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers bring him back for the 2027 season. Obviously it’s too early to say and they will probably wait to see how the season pans out with Moton still elite but aging and clearly battling persistent injuries, and they need to see if Freeling can develop into a starter during his rookie year. But ultimately this might have opened up a huge chunk of salary cap for the next 4-5 years.

      You read my mind Nastradamus! If Rodriguez is still there I feel like it will be hard to pass on him. And one of these TE we keep drafting have to hit eventually and Delp is just as good as the others.
