You have every right to be complaining. A lot of posters claim that this coaching staff does not value the safety position and apparently you all are correct. They have had multiple opportunities to draft a starting safety in this draft and have passed every time. An argument can be made that a strong pass rush can compensate for any deficiencies in the secondary. However, when the WR is wide open after the snap, the QB don't need to hold on to the ball for more than 2 seconds, making the pass rush pretty much irrelevant. These two areas of defense must complement each other in order to be successful. And another thing.....I don't care what defensive scheme you are running (3-4, 4-3, man, zone), if its 3rd and 3 and the DBs are playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage, you are going to have a high rate of failure regardless of the quality of your personnel. This idiotic philosophy has got to change.

I just don't understand it. Our division rivals have had our defense's number the last few years and a big part of that is the lack of a decent FS. We play our CBs with a big cushion because we have no deep help and teams dink and dunk us to death, then we struggle on third and long because... we have no deep help.

your argument for why a pass rush doesnt help doesn't make sense about a safety

 

a CB, sure...  But a wide receiver isnt going to be wide open after two seconds because of a saftey 

If you have help over the top you don't need to be playing CBs 10 yards off the LOS.

I was referring to the secondary in general and safety is our weakest link. Does that make sense to you? And maybe the CB playing 10 yards off the LOS is because of lack of talent at safety. Don't understand why that does not make sense to you.

We also don’t have a nickel CB. Gaulden will get roasted as bad as Captain. He’s the least athletic DB in last year’s draft and we think he’ll hang with the quick slot WRs? We started the draft with FS and nickel as probably the biggest actual holes maybe aside from LG and right now we still sort of have holes at all 3. Williams May slide in to LG, but what if Little really isn’t ready (quite possible)? Van Roten, Gaulden and Colin Jones are still starters right now.

Also, we have multiple backups to Cam now but our offensive cogs (CMC, Samuel and Moore) have no one behind them that’s even close.

Love Burns and Miller, but we missed out on a lot.

Once I saw CGJ go to the Saints early today, I gave up. That cherry on top of utter incompetence from yesterday just turned me off to anything left.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
