What backup will start now?

Ron Rivera mentioned post game yesterday that they go over the same thing every day in practice and that certain people still do not get it an execute. Who do you think gets benched this upcoming week and who gets more snaps going forward? 

Quite from Ron: “I feel that we have some holes to fill on the football team, and we’ve got some positions that we need to look at and continue to get speed,” said Rivera after the game. “That, I think, is the biggest thing. We’re starting to see the importance of it, and the significance of it when we play fast. We need to give ourselves the opportunity to be successful.” 

But Carolina’s ability to first play fast on defense, and then match that with consistent execution, has been placed on a milk carton — the contents of which went sour way back in Week 10, in a now-infamous drubbing by Pittsburgh. 

What new faces will we see next week?

Think Ron will use Donte as a SCAPEGOAT. So watch for Elder or the next corner (I cant name) to start. 

 

Ron might be dumb but he ain't that dumb.   

Ron can pretty much scapegoat the entire DL and our S.   He has no reason to get that desperate to go after our most promising young defender in the secondary in over a decade.

At this point it's like rearranging chairs on a sinking ship.

We won't know what we actually have until we get a new staff with a new philosophy in here.

But man if we give Ron another year I'm done. Charlotte sports are too demoralizing.

We'll be picking No. 1 in 2020 if we keep Ron.

Donte Jackson sucks. Hate to break it to you and all of you on his nuts. He gets consistently burned and was picked on yesterday. He's 5'11 and not a starting outside corner. We need a veteran playmaker next year and to move him to nickel. He'd be perfect covering slot receivers.  He's basically a better captain munnerlyn.

We need to draft a whole secondary— 

it did take a few seasons for Josh Norman,..

i hate losing too and I was on the get Akunamara-sp- and others we now see in Chicago etc but Jackson is a great talent— just needs development.

our whole defense has SUCKED this year— that doesn’t just happen to a top 15 defense the last few seasons—it’s Rivera and Washington—

rivera can be a DC, but not a DC and HC—notice our defense was top 10, then top 15 at least with wilkes and now pud with Rivera and Washington..

oh plus our team is losing key situational football,..

Cut Funchess, Poe, and Munnerlyn. Let Doss play, bring up Kendrick Norton, and then whoever to fill the 3rd spot. Don't think we need 6 WRs at this point anyway and cutting Funch will bring it to 5. Maybe bring up Vander Laan from the PS so that we'll have 3 TEs.

I'd also cut Ben Jacobs and bring up a LB from the PS, Brandon Chubb. He's supposed to be a special teams ace, but all he does is give us penalties every game.

At the very least, you see what we have in these young guys while at the same time trimming some of the fat.

    • Revisiting the Prediction thread from April 3--a full 3 weeks before the draft.  I thought this was interesting because I was just repeating rumors and infusing them with my comments.  We trust names like McShay--look how wrong he was! Green indicates the rumor came true in some form.  Red indicates that the rumor was wrong-- Rumor:  McShay just reported in his podcast that the "winds have shifted" about Shedeur Sanders.  He referenced back in October when Dad basically said, "If we tell you not to draft him, don't draft him" to Shedeur wearing a Browns hat. (Nobody thought this would happen in round 5 or with the Browns).  Recently, Deion has come out to announce that he is OK with wherever his son goes--while the intentions were good, he is still one-too-many voices in the process.  I think it was at the combine when Shedeur responded to a question, "Do you know who my dad is?"  while laughing.  He was asked about the Raiders during an interview, and Shedeur said, "I ain't going sixth..." (if he meant 'round' he was right--but he meant overall)  He was referencing living with criticism, etc. but continually referencing Dad may not be helping--but this shift in his and his father's approach to the draft suggests that they are not quite as confident, now that teams have signed free agents.  McShay suggests that Cam will go #1 to the Titans, but the Browns may not think Sanders (who some have a second round grade on--he has him at #19 overall) is worth the #2 pick, and that might lead to them taking the best player in the draft (Carter, but do not rule out Hunter).  Side Rumor:  There are rumblings that the Browns could land Cousins from the Falcons, giving them a starting QB and the #2 overall pick. The Giants just signed Russell Wilson and J. Winston. Daboll and Shoen may not be ready to put their jobs on the back of a developmental QB--so they take the best player on their board, Hunter (if the Browns take Carter).  New England probably drafts an OT, but they would like to trade back. Some mocks have them taking Jeanty--but I do not see Vrabel going RB with so many needs.   Side Rumor:  The Jets may want to move up for Hunter (if he is there) and the Pats may want to move back and take a T.  So if Hunter is on the board at #4, look for a NY-Boston trade. The Jags do not need a QB, but most mocks have them staying put and taking Mason Graham, DT Michigan.  Side Rumor:  The smart money has the Jags taking Mason Graham, but some think they are in love with TMac.  Others have TMac going to the Seahawks later. The Raiders are supposedly in love with RB Jeanty to go in Pete Carrol's offense. I see that as a likelihood. The Jets seem to like Fields and bringing in Sanders makes little sense, but it could not be ruled out.  The drama, however, after the Rodgers experiment, is not ideal.  Most NY area experts have the Jets taking Membou OT or Warren TE--always take the top OT over the top TE.  The Panthers are likely to have Walker on their board and should be fielding offers.  According to McShay, a team still needing a QB would be calling the Panthers to get ahead of the Saints.  McShay mentions that the Giants could be in play to move back up to grab Sanders, but I see Indianapolis as a more likely candidate, with Richardson and Daniel Jones as their QBs at the moment.  For the Colts to move up to 14 it would not require a huge investment in draft capital.  The Colts could send Carolina their first (14) and second (45) to Carolina for their first (8) and a fourth (111) and fifth (140). Side Rumor:  According to McShay, the folks at FanDuel give the over and under odds for Sanders being drafted at 7.5 to 8.5.  The Panthers pick 8th.  What does this mean?   First, Jon Snow will have to change his user name and I think Special Juan is required to report his status to us to be on this board.  Secondly, it means the Panthers could sit at #8 and take Walker or move back, where players like Warren, TMac, Mykel Williams, or a top S (Starks/Emmanwori), Golden, etc. would be in play.   In addition, getting pick #45 would land a player like Princely (Edge). (However, Princely was drafted in round 3--Scourton was the selection at pick 51--Princely went pick 77 in the third)

    • His dad dealt with a fair number of injuries in camp or early season.
