Not feeling the excitement


NAS

Recommended Posts

I will be honest, I am very nervous about this game. Not just because it’s the reigning NFC champs but because we have not seen anything to give us confidence, especially on offense.

- Offensive Line:  don’t know if the OL will be able to hold up and give Cam or CMC any time to throw or holes to run through 

- Cam’s health: will we see any lingering effects on his movement Can he throw the ball 30 times a game?will he be able to withstand the inevitable hits and pressure from their DL

- Offensive chemistry: this offense has looked awful and we don’t have enough veterans (other than CMC or Olsen) to think they can just flip the switch 

I want to believe we can win, but just not feeling optimistic we can move the ball.

If you're a fan of the Carolina Panthers, you should be used to tempering expectations either way.

No point being miserable before the game even starts.

In terms of longevity throughout the season though, winning at home will be crucial. Last year we were pretty ugly at BOA, moreso than in years past for sure. If we can flip that around and stay healthy we should be fine. We also need to start winning games against the Falcons, especially in Atlanta. They've had our number for awhile now.

I have zero expectations going into this season yet somehow ready to be disappointed. You could tell me we finish 3-13 or 13-3 and I would probably believe you.

I think we’re at least a 6-10 team even with Grier or Allen at QB. 3-13 would shock the hell out of me. That is seriously fuging bad and we have some really easy opponents.

Other than Aaron Donald, are any of you really worried about an older Clay Matthews, and the all hype Dante Fowler Jr (4 sacks in 2018), and Ebukam their anticpated starters / edge rotation...

Dante Fowler Jr. the last 4 seasons

  • 2, 2, 8 (back in 2017), 4

Then Clay Matthews the last three seasons

  • 5, 7, 3.5

Samson Ebukam in two seasons

  • 5 TOTAL SACKS (2017 & 2018) aka his career

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
