Their ILBs are slow. They should be a liability in coverage against anyone in our offense.

If this is true, we're having a field day against their defense.

Like I said when I learned the Ravens linebackers were weak, Norv Turner will exploit that and go ham like he did against the Bengals. His best work comes from going against teams with weaker linebackers overall. He's very very good at misdirection and forcing linebackers out of position.

I really hope the guy talking about our weak schedule is a Steeler scout.  that guy has absolutely no clue about this team

  • Week 1 is always tough versus any team, but the Cowboys defense is not half bad. We obviously got their best shot. It didn’t help our offense that the stadium was easy 40% filled with opposing fans, something Heinz Field will never understand.
  • Week 2 we played an Atlanta team that was still largely intact before all their devastating injuries, oh and we played them in THEIR house. We also didn’t play our best game in any phase. Not an easy row to hoe.
  • Week 3 we played a division-leading, red-hot Cincinnati team that was on a fast start. We won.
  • Week 4 we played a desperate 1-3 Giants team trying to save their season, with another poor showing by Panther fans. The Panthers were still finding their mojo and even jumped out to a comfortable lead, but gave it up and had to rely on luck and a gigantic kicking leg to pull through.
  • Week 6 we completely shot ourselves in both feet and an arm for good measure. And STILL almost beat the Redskins had it not been for a blatant missed call by the refs in the closing moments.
  • Week 7 we messed around for 3 quarters, keeping it close but not quite breaking through. Score was 10-0, but the Eagles scored again at the end of the 3rd and suddenly the Panthers faced the prospect of 3-3. It must’ve scared the poo out of them, cus we willed ourselves to win against the defending Champs in THEIR house. 
  • Week 8 we welcome the #1 defense statistically to our house and we absolutely trash them. The game is never in doubt.
  • Week 9 we welcome the #1 offense statistically to our house and like the week before, we absolutely trash them. As the #1 offense is prone to do against prevent defense, they made it a game towards the end but we still finished with a 2 score lead. 

Mr. Steelers idiot should at least take a glance at our schedule before he stuffs his fungus-infected foot into his mouth.

Pretty similar. You should at least have one of them on the field, even in nickel. And both in base 3-4. Bostic is smaller, but isn’t covering CMC or Olsen. Williams is a run-stopper. And many times Dupree or TJ Watt drop in coverage leaving another potential mismatch. 

   They will play a ton of zone. And drop the DL on zone blitz. Gotta watch that on shallow crossers. Also have issues at CB2 that can be exploited.

Their team is a pretty good team, a perennial winner,..

What else would you think their fans would be saying?  They wouldn't be talking like the Browns or Lions or something,...

You get the rah rah homer fans, the negative nilly fans, and the ones who have the dumbass disease,.. which is probably most of us,... ha

Can we make it 3 weeks in a row where we change a narrative of a top ranked statistic? Hope so!

 They run so many quick slants and bubble screens, it’s tough to have an effect on those. DL needs to keep those hands up and tip a couple. Usually when they give up sacks, its because Ben held it way too long.

I agree but interesting that many talking heads do not also consider the Panthers are a "Perennial Winner"

Steelers are 3-4 in the playoffs since 2013 with trips there in 4 of the past 5 years and 4 straight. 

in the same time frame we have an identical 3-4 record in the playoffs, with a SB appearance and have also reached the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 years.  In the leagues toughest division.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I have not read the entire thread, and I realize this is fluff to a degree, but it was recorded in real time.  Here are 10 things that stood out to me: 1. Morgan wrote down (before day 3) the first three day 3 picks.  (Lee, Hecht, and Wheatley).  I was never fond of the Morgan hiring as GM.  I thought he was a lazy selection and I questioned his ability to match wits with some of the best GMs in the NFL.  Not any more. Morgan OWNED this draft.  He knew which players were good fits and when they would be bargains, and he got bargains.  I am thoroughly excited about every player. 2. Canales said (about Hecht, a 5th rounder):  "He has a real chance to start."   Morgan said the same thing about Freeling. While I do not expect either to start day 1, it looks to me like we drafted 40% of our starting OL in 2026.  I think we will sign Ickey to a deal and play him at RG, allowing us to escape the Robert Hunt contract in 2027.  Of course that is conditional, and Ickey could replace Moton instead, but if he fully recovers, we are looking at a better RG/RT than he was a LT--which was average.  3. When Morgan said to second-round DT Hunter, "Ready to play beside Derrick Brown?"  Based on personalities, one calm and soft spoken (for the Most part, Brown is) and the other talkative and openly enthusiastic, it reminded me of Brentson Buckner and Kris Jenkins.   4.  Perhaps the steal of the draft was Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II.  Clearly the Panthers felt that they passed on him when they took Hunter in round 2.  They mentioned his skill set (able to attack on "all three levels.")  This sent me back to watching film. He has speed, hands, and he produced without a great QB. I think he could be great in the NFL.  When  5. Tepper was a bit more involved than I would like, but he seems to be very confident in Morgan.  If I were the owner, I would be doing the same thing.  Canales was also somewhat of a background character--everyone understood his role and stayed in his lane.   6.  I am also very interested in the quantitative analytics aspect of the draft room.  (something like, "He has a 94% chance of being there at pick 55, and a 38% chance of being there at 87). I would like to know their formula, because it seemed to be spot on. 7.  BPA?  Not really.  They had a shopping list and seemed to be targeting the players they selected. I realize other players were edited out, but I was impressed how they knew, by round, who they wanted and if there were multiple options sitting there, they traded back. 8.  Evero (I think) called Lee a candidate that would serve as the "#3 CB."  Morgan describes his size as a plus (Long). Strong praise for a 4th rounder.  If so, we have Thornton coming off injury who played well as an UDFA rookie and they will battle it out to become Jackson's replacement after the 2026 season, assuming the Panthers do not extend him (he turns 30 in 7 months.O 9.  I think we could realistically see every one of these draft picks play this season, and I believe most could start by next year--Realistically, Freeling, Hunter, Hecht, and Brazzell could all be starting or key rotational pieces this year.  I see Lee and Wheatley getting special teams reps and both could be used this season more than expected.   10.  Kuwatch seemed to be predetermined with the final pick, probably because he can add something special to special teams.   He and Bam Martin Scott will fight it out for the 4th ILB position, so it will probably come down to special teams--and Kuwatch stands out there.  Imagine an ILB with a 46.5 vertical (not a typo) on the FG block team.  Kuwatch has an 8.85 RAS score vs. Martin-Scott's 7.5.

      They did mention Bain as the pick if he fell but didnt seem confident that would be the case.
