A short song for some unsung heroes

A lot of well deserved talk tonight about Kyle Allen, and a few others, but I'd like to throw some garlands of appreciation to a few other valuable contributors to today's upset win, on the road:

1) Joey Slye just keeps making those FGs, doesn't he?  He now leads the NFL with 4 FGs of over 50 yds. See, it all worked out that we didn't keep Butker, didn't it?

2) James Bradberry held the heralded DeAndre Hopkins to just 5 receptions, for a measly 41 yards.

3) Coach Rivera, who has turned this Defense into a force of its own, since he's taken over our defensive game planning.  Did you know our 18 sacks, in 4 games, are tied with NE for the league lead?

4) CMC.  Unsung? Maybe not, but did you know he joined Jim Brown as the ONLY TWO players in NFL HISTORY to record 175 yds from scrimmage, and a TD, in 3 of the first 4 games of a season?

5) Super Mario Addison has 5 sacks in the last 2 games, and is now 3rd in the league with 5 1/2.

6) Jarius Wright, who caught 5 passes, for 59 yds, and it seemed like every one was for a FD, as it always does.  The guy is clutch.

7) lastly, high fives for Vernon Butler, Ross Cockrell, and Eric Reid, all of whom put their marks on the win, as well.

All these contributors define a "team win," and it all bodes well for the future.

David Newton’s ESPN breakdown of today’s game...

This is what coach Ron Rivera envisioned during the offseason when he added more speed to the defense, particularly at outside linebacker, and made the switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 front after finishing 27th in the NFL in sacks a season ago.

 

Get this man an editor this is getting embarrassing

Good one!  I had to read your post 3 times before I caught what you meant by needing an editor.

Most people covering the team have very little enthusiasm for it. Remember, it’s their job. Jobs can become a mundane grind if you have the wrong mindset 

Keep in mind, I said most. There are some very good people covering the team too, and I think you guys can figure out who they are.

Rodrigue and Person are two who actually do seem to enjoy their job, Rodrigue especially. Heck, Voth did it on his own for a while.

I honestly think the biggest problem with Newton is that he just doesn't have the necessary football background. He's a NASCAR reporter covering an NFL team.

Maybe it's some point, ESPN will see us as "worthy" of having a regular football reporter, but who knows?

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
