Pretty sure Nelson stated that he'd seen that route a few times already and was prepared for it, or something to that effect.

Basically, they knew what was coming.

They knew what was coming. And it was covered. That's on Brady. But Sam made a bad read and a bad decision and threw the ball. That's on Sam.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

Well, it's more of an "aware" play than a physical effort play.

It also says something about our playcalling.

i wouldnt say great is defined by just your physicality. Having the mental awareness around what route Robby was running isnt done by mediocre decision making. It's done by great decision making.

but he is under duress, he is unable to step up and make the throw. I dont know what Steve is referring to. Im just stating that its possibel he got the two mixed up.

The throw isn't the issue in that play. The ball was placed perfectly.... if there weren't any defenders there. The problem is there were defenders there. And Sam still threw it.

hit up Steve and let him know then... like i said I was only calling out that he could have been referring to Nelson and not Slay

I will continue to support our QB Sam Darnold until he proves he cannot perform behind a good offensive line, something we presently do not have.

Bashers on the Huddle need to cool the attacks on Sam until we have a good offensive line and then we will be able to evaluate his performances a lot more fairly.

The other interception I haven't posted yet for anyone who wants to see it again. Starts at 8:48. Plenty of time to throw. Steps into his throw and throws right to the defender. 

So... in conclusion, he wasn't actually being hit on any of these interceptions and was in duress for maybe one of them.

 Doesn't look like he is being hit to me... 

With three defenders in the area. He made some bad decisions with the football that will lose teams games that's all there is to it. Now it's up to him Joe B and Matt Rhule to figure it out. The line is what it's going to be for the next 12 games and that is not good and it's on our gm Scott Fitterer.

    • I'd love blue to be the new primary.
    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
