If you watch the secondary, Tre Boston was in single high with Burris down in the box covering the TE in man.  Why does he jump to cover the underneath route and not help the rookie who is all alone man v. man?  

It has been my observation for a while now that Boston will always choose whatever requires less effort and/or contact.

What happened to all those folks who thought the D Line was going to be a monster, and who just knew in their hearts that KK would have a bounce back year?

When do folks learn?

Big men, over 30, coming off injury....you typically can't count on them to do much...and you certainly can't overpay for them.

We are doing both, like normal.

We kept the  wrong guy.  Star is balling out in Bufallo

No, we didn't.  Star is very good, KK was very good.

Problem is, our GM doesn't know when to cut bait, and certainly doesn't understand just how F'ing stupid these restructures are.  On top of that, instead of drafting replacements and grooming them, we just keep the overpaid lazy guy on the roster because we need a Grier.

I watched the condensed game 3 or 4 times while waiting for the All-22 and am excited to see if it confirms some of my current thoughts.

The primary ones being that Stephen Weatherly was our best DL while Marquis Haynes was our worst. Everybody made mistakes, but everybody with the exception of Zach Kerr flashed plays (Kerr wasn't bad like Haynes, but he wasn't good either). Roy was surprising, Brown was impressive, Short was a LOT better than I initially thought, and Obada played incredibly well with his limited snaps.

Burns is awesome, but two of the Raiders runs that set them up for short yardage conversions were because he ran up field and didn't contain. Yetur was damn near invisible as well, but he was constantly hustling which you like to see. I loved seeing him and Brown always being in the pile if Jacobs happened to scamper several yards downfield from the line of scrimmage.

Troy Pride Jr needs a year to learn. The Ruggs completion to set up their first Jacobs TD was because Troy followed the WR in man rather than setting back in cover 3 like the call looked to be (from what I could tell). Shaq had a play or two where he was caught out of position as well, but he was able to make up for it with his closing speed.

Speaking of motors, Juston Burris brings it on every play even if he's nowhere near it.

KK did get blown up 5 yards back on one snap, but that man was also consistently the first lineman off of the ball and drew multiple double teams while also getting good pressure as an end when we showed 3-4 looks

This was the most noticeable Haynes was all game.

Kinda hard to understand why we kept KK at this point. Unless they were desperate for some continuity. I just have to imagine that even if he does have something left in the tank that it has to be hard to be motivated with all the turnover he's witnessed along the highs and lows.

Was he in single high or was he tasked with playing a "robber" role? Honestly we don't know.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
