Stopping the run and blitz pressure doesn’t mean anything if you have Elder and Munnerlyn out there getting embarrassed on basic coverage concepts.

Watching Munnerlyn play 10 yards off the ball, then tentatively approach the WR after making an uncontested catch to ensure he didn't blow past him, only to watch him still whiff on the tackle was one of the most painful things I've ever seen live, and I've watched my wife push both my kids out...

Reading OPs post ,I agree with him on the age of the panthers  DLine

having watched browns, cowboys, heck the Seahawks D line I see speed agility that I didn’t see with Panthers , that split second Panthers were late clearly gives time to a Qb to step aside and complete a pass

should you really be surprised? Mario Addison : 31 yrs old / Peppers = 39 in January /  KK  is nearly 30 , Poe is 28 but would be 29 heading into next year .

I'm sure some of it is Washington's coaching but sweet fuging jesus man, our pass rush has been god aweful and I believe age is a huge factor. We need to spend probably at least 2 or 3 of our top picks next year on the D-line. 

Obviously no one with the brain size larger than an ant is surprised.  

And this man is still 30 with the tread of a 25 year old.  And cheap.

No one should really be surprised. We were in cap hell for years and only had 7 draft picks to help every year. This year's FA was a total bust as well. Simply put our team doesn't know how to evaluate players thus eventually we run out of talent.

That 4th and 3 with Elder May have been one of the worst plays I have ever watched.

Here's the DL the Panthers drafted for the last 5 drafts. No capital spent in 2015 coupled with what look like poor selections on Butler and especially Hall, plus the flame out of Ealy. With no young production from players on rookie deals, the Panthers have had to rely on older (and generally more expensive) players.

  • 2018 : 4th rounder on Haynes, a OLB to DE conversion and a 7th round pick on a DT.
  • 2017: 3rd rounder on Hall
  • 2016: 1st rounder on Butler (Cowboy's starting DT Collins was a 3rd rounder, their other starter Woods was a UDFA)
  • 2015: No DL selected. 
  • 2014: 2nd rounder on Ealy (Cowboy's starting DE Lawerence was pick 34)

The oldest DL Dallas started last night was Crawford (29), 3rd rounder in 2012.

Once again.

It’s blitz pressure. And that’s leading to a lot of man to man situations, many of which we are losing badly. 

The absence of interior line pressure has killed this team in 2018.

Or....we should be able to blitz because we have DB who can handle man to man.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?
