Drew Brees passer rating when targeting Jackson and Bradberry last night? A 42.4 (Jackson) and a 2.8 when targeting Bradberry. Not a typo, a 2.8 passer rating.

Who are the Saints receivers again?

Bradberry has shut down Mike Evans twice, Julio Jones and now Mike Thomas... The guy is a stud. Donte has had his rookie moments but has overall been great and has insanely high potential. Safeties and nickel are the issue in the secondary, not Donte or Bradberry.

I'd even say with regards to safety that either Adams or Reid alone are solid at SS and getting a rangy FS who can cover would be a major boost to the secondary, a la Mitchell (fast but crap in coverage so not the best example) and Mikell in 2013.

Yep. If we can get a ball hawk and a decent slot guy, I think we're good.

I don't think we have either of those on the roster. Gaulden isn't really much of anything, I really think he was a wasted pick with tons of other natural Safeties available (like the younger Reid brother) and unfortunately Corn hasn't looked that great either.

So hopefully we make those moves next year and things look up.

So why didn't we do this several weeks ago?

We let JuJu Smith Schuster take one to the end zone on their first play in primetime, and then from there proceeded to basically fall flat on our faces and let the Steelers score at will.

How can you be that Jekyll/Hyde from execution issues alone?

We threw away a season because Ron couldn't get past his stubborn loyalty to his buddies on the coaching staff.

Every time Bradberry is given a specific assignment to shadow the opposing team's #1, he's lights out.

Every time Bradberry is just kept on "his side" and asked to play 10 yards away from the opposing WR in majority zone coverage, he sux.

Its almost as if these are the kinds of tendencies coaches are paid to notice.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
