Panthers Had Headset Issues vs. Raiders

If you were wondering why the Panthers’ defense looked lost at times Sunday, there might be a logical explanation.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule said Monday that the headsets they use to communicate the play calls to the players were not working properly.

“I think there might have been 10-12 times where we called the play in and it wasn’t the defense we ran,” Rhule said. “We settled down at halftime and found a way to correct that. But some of those kinds of things that you don’t want to have happen, it’s not OK that it happened, but they did happen, and I thought we grew as the game went on.”

 

Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson said he was the lone player wearing the headset and getting the calls. He described it as a “technology issue,” and called it frustrating.

“Maybe we’ll have to buy a whole new headset or something like that,” Thompson said. “But at the end of the day, we’re just going to have to go and play ball, and that’s what we’re going to do and get that corrected.”

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
