Dirty or not, Aaron Donald and that defense in general has the potential to cause some serious issues.

Seeing that they really don't know what to expect from our D.... I guess they could say the same about us.

Side note: One takeaway from the Pat's game = secondary tackling was impressive. Our front was getting pressure (minus the holding)...Brady just gets it out in 2 secs. That said, Aaron Donald on the menu subconsciously means KK and McCoy are going to step it up just based on competition. At least I hope.

I expect the Rams to go run heavy against us.

After what I saw in the preseason, that's likely what I would do.

That is what pissed me off.  What the h*ll Belicheat?  He blitzed like a spamer playing a video game.  We were out there trying to be vanilla and do some evaluating.  Also, what is was up with that retirement thread about Cam after Luck called it quits?  That is banishment worthy.  Retirement over mild foot sprain.  

Stop fuging crying .  In the words of Cam himself.  If you don't like it, stop me.  The pats defense did just that.  No one is going to pull their punches come regular season.

Funny thing: The preseason used to be about as vanilla as the Pro Bowl.

Nobody blitzed. Nobody did anything too complicated. It was all just very generic.

Ironically enough, one of the big reasons why it changed was a Panther game.

When he was coaching the Jags, Tom Coughlin had a huge chip on his shoulder when it came to the Panthers. One year when the two teams were scheduled to meet in the preseason, Coughlin broke the unwritten rule and had his defense aggressively attack the Panther offense.

The Panthers and Coach Dom Capers, having expected this to be just an ordinary preseason game, we're caught completely off guard. The game announcers were losing their minds, and Panther players wound up getting hurt.

If I recall correctly, that game was what sparked some very nasty back-and-forth exchanges between Tom Sorensen and then Jags beat writer Pete Prisco.

Other teams saw what happened in that game and began following suit, and thus here we are.

So basically, the Panthers unintentionally (and unwillingly) became part of a moment that changed the nature of the preseason.

I had no problem with the Pats blitzing. I hope Pittsburgh does the same. Do you think it is a coincidence that 3 of our 4 opponents blitz using different fronts. This gave us lots of film to view and some idea about how teams will attack us. I would rather get beat up in the preseason and have lots to work on versus everyone being vanilla and looking good but then not being prepared for the season.

I remember watching the game at a girlfriend's house.

The announcers (don't remember who;  I'm thinking it was on NBC but I could be wrong) went absolutely nuts. They couldn't believe Coughlin was doing something so disrespectful. Both he and his players acted like a--holes about it afterwards.

I suppose you could say the Panthers got the last laugh because Coughlin's Jaguars never achieved the level of success the Panthers did.
