"The Carolina Panthers secondary was a major part of the team’s defensive issues this past season. Their cornerbacks featured the up-and-down James Bradberry and the promising but unreliable rookie Donte Jackson, plus the aging Captain Munnerlyn. Jackson has potential but overall the group did not perform well enough. Things were not much better at safety, with the ancient Mike Adams finally showing signs of obvious decline. Only Eric Reid was a solid play from week to week.

"In the end, the Panthers ranked No. 18 in passing yards allowed and No. 19 in scoring defense. Thanks to their shoddy pass coverage and communication mistakes that led to multiple easy touchdowns for their opponents, Carolina’s defensive backfield wound up getting ranked No. 29 in the NFL for the season by Pro Football Focus."

 

TD was shown the door, so Adams has to be next.

As I said earlier in the season in the thread t(full of sone skepticism) that I started on Bradberry, he's got to get his consistency up. If he doesn't, then he's not starting material.

A-Jax had growing pains for sure, but with better coaching and experience, he looks to have a lot of promise.

Another safety, coaching, Cockrell's return and perhaps some more competition from FA, and we may just be good next season.

My only qualm about Reid's play was I think he went for the big hit at times when he should have tried to wrap his man up. Otherwise, I thought he played well and played hard as a safety. I hope he'll be back with us next year, but he's got to have a younger guy back there with him who can play centerfield.

Bradberry will be fine and Action Jackson will continue to improve, if we get some better coaching for them. Both young men lost a lot in the pre-season coaching shake up that caught everyone by surprise.

Captain, oh Captain... you're a tough little guy who can tackle, but the coverage skills aren't enough to take on the younger and bigger WRs they send at you. Maybe you could swing it as a safety, but I don't think nickle is your strength anymore.

Captain and Adams hurt us

Byt what killed us was getting no pressure 

We played against some of the worst OL like the Giants, yet couldn't touch the QB

Yep, the secondary is taking the heat, and they weren’t great but I cannot remember watching a season where the opposing QBs had so much time and space, and it didn’t matter how good or bad their oline was. Zero pass rush.

Whatever you say. Just know that most of the NFL teams use PFF in some form or fashion, to some extent, when they decide how well a player is doing. Teams as well as players refer to it when contract time comes up as well if it's to their advantage. So, it's really not a joke. You just have to discriminate between aspects of it as to its importance and value depending upon how you are using it.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
