How's Eric Reid Doing so far as a Panther?

Besides putting Ertz in a body bag... Eric Killmonger Reid brings run stopping attitude and pain. Refs stole an interception from him for sure. He has missed some tackles yes however this guy looks like a heat seeking missile in run support. Players are being hunted when he is on the field. Good signing Carolina. I expect him to get better as the season goes on. Look for more interceptions and more forced fumbles =)

How? lol Dude looked pretty in shape to me. 

Rust-wise I meant. He's been late to diagnose his responsibilities and a little late to the ball but he looked better against the Eagles. He's still getting into the groove of the defense so it was expected to take some time to get up to speed.

In my eyes he's got a game sealing INT for us to help outweigh some missed tackles and busted coverages. I'd think he can only get better from here but I gotta say seeing him shoving teammates on the sideline wasn't good. Don't think anything will come out of that but during the season we never saw anything close to that in  2015 or last year, and it really shouldn't be happening with our locker room.

So far I'm happy with him and glad he was signed.  He'll only improve as the year progresses and he gets in game shape and more comfortable with the defense.  

I don't care about any of the off the field stuff as long as it doesn't become a distraction.  Personally, I don't really care what any athlete says about anything not sports related.

When did this happen? I didn't see any of that, I don't think. I saw multiple guys working to fire up the defense. Everybody does it differently. When they had the camera on our sideline not just Rivera, which really didn't happen much at all.

He’s a lot bigger than I thought. He’s getting better each week and hopefully by the playoffs he will be playing lights out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
