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?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
