Donte Jackson likely OUT vs Houston

This is by far the biggest injury of the weekend (outside of Cam).

 

Houston has 2 of the fastest WR in the league (Fuller & Stills).  They routinely run 9 routes.  Jackson is our only corner with enough speed to match them.  It's very concerning to have Cockrell or Elliot or anyone else on either of them.   Expect them to attack us deep early and often.

 

Any thoughts on how to mitigate this?

So is he still floating somewhere above Arizona or has he come down yet?

On a serious note, we mitigate this by unleashing Bruce Irvin and Brian Burns on Desean Watson. Their offensive line is terrible and our front 7 should be able to get to Watson at least 6 times this week. Play Cover 3 and 4 and unleash the beasts that we paid so dearly for. That will mitigate Watson's running, provide help to the corners, and help shorten the game assuming we can run the ball effectively.

Go for the Under on the total, go for 6 sacks for the Panthers, and a likely 2 to 6 point victory for either side.

Did he hurt his groin jumping 40 inches in the air?

I honestly have no idea.  He was limited in practice on Wednesday and then completely out Thursday and Friday.  I don't recall seeing him hurt after that and I don't think he left the field.  That's a good guess though.

I expect Houston to abandon the run and throw downfield all day and this game be a shootout. 34-30 area of points. I hope Allen is up to the challenge

This is exactly what I would do.  They have 3 really good WR.  Our secondary will be test big time.  Running intermediate and deep routes will take our LB  out of pass coverage game too and we will rely solely on our secondary to defend (without DJ, this is bad bad news)

Sheesh. 

The season can play out a million different ways as it pertains to the draft. But there's a range where if the pick falls within it that paying Bradberry AND drafting a Fulton/Diggs makes perfect sense. 

Next man up, good thing Cockrell looks decent so far 

Cockrell absolutely looks solid.  But he's not a speed guy at all.  If we have to use him as our #2 CB then we put Elliot in at nickel.  It weakens two positions at the same time.

We need pass rush big time to survive this game because Watson is going to exploit the hell out of this injury.  And KK is hurt too so then our pass rush is losing the best DL we have.  

 

Bad bad bad bad.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
