Definitely has some weaknesses but the man is a beast on blitzes, his blitz at the end helped lead to Butler getting the strip sack then he was there to recover it. We really need to use Reid in the blitz more, like we did with Mitchell back in 2013. Also props to him for being smart enough to bat the ball straight down at the end. You’ll see guys try to catch it and fug up allowing a TD like those ones Rodgers has gotten.

For all the complaining about Reid...we have had worst safeties back there.

Before we got him I heard a lot of... we sign old, washed up, slow, unathletic safeties, in Riveras defense safety talent doesnt matter, etc.  

You take the good with the bad just like you do with any person in real life, nobody is perfect. Eric has shown enough good for me. Isnt my favorite player on defense by any means but still a good player in our defense.

Basically this... any other answer has some bias soul searching to do.

Ill eat my crow. He had some terrible missed tackles in the first half but he made arguably the play of the day

They weren’t missed tackles. They were “hits”(shoulder first, no wrap up). He just needs to spend a week in the tape room. 

That shoe string he did proves he’s can tackle, on the short drive. He just needs to get his tackles and hits in order:

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
