So our "D" automatically becomes better and holds the Vikings to 24 points because of CMC's presence? 🤔

 

You can argue that CMC playing would help the Panthers in 3rd down situations and just helping the offense stay on the field in general, which would allow the defense to rest more.

I convinced myself before the season that Sam would be due for a bad game or two this season (I don’t think the cowboys game was a bad game for Sam), just like many quarterbacks.  I am expecting a bounce back game this week against the Vikings. I do expect (and hate to admit it) a loss. However, it won’t be because offense doesn’t do their job. I think we struggle against the run to set up the pass offense this weekend.

 

final score:

vikes : 33

panthers: 31

 

field goal as time expires.

Hmmm...that makes sense.

If we don't have  CMC, this may be a painful game to watch.

Going into this game with low expectations but would love to be surprised.

This Vikings defense is 2nd in the league in sacks, if the O-line does not magically decide to get their poo together this week, pressure on Darnold will be a problem once again. Hopefully Rhule and the staff finally realize this current bunch isn't and never will get the job done, and keep trying different looks, but not expecting it. 

Which is why having CMC back is so big, Darnold is clearly less comfortable without him because he is his security blanket when things fall apart. Look for the Panthers to go to him early and often on to avoid Darnold trying to do too much like last week, when the line inevitably collapses once again.

Joe Brady gets creative for a change and dials up a PA deep shot to Robby Anderson for a TD

Thankfully our defense has the ability to keep us in any game, and I expect our pass rush to torch Kirk Cousins and slow down Dalvin Cook considerably assuming he plays.

Bold prediction: The panthers score 10 points in the 3rd quarter.

This one will be close, and should give us a great indicator of where we are really at after these last 2 weeks. 
 

Panthers just squeak this one out on a last minute TD and win 24-17.

Huddle trolls and pessimists in shambles.

Our defense can still have a great game, but we aren't facing a terrible defense either. If our OL plays like last week it'll be long. Or... I'd hate to put more pressure than there needs to be on Joe Brady but if he can draw something up to counteract our OL woes... then that's our chance. I think Robby was onto something. I know our OL limits what we can do and the kinds of route/plays we call, but I still hope guys are vocal and our staff is open to adjustments that players may suggest. Not just adjustments the coaches think will work.

What the hell people? We aren’t losing this game! Panthers find some rhythm on offense and win 28-20. I want to read some optimistic fan takes! CJ Henderson is going to get a pick after starting to get comfortable in this defense. Also Burns is due a sack or two. Let’s go Panthers! You all better keep pounding!

Yeah, we will run the ball better and be better offensively with CMC.  Which impacts the D. 

That should help the D stay off the field more and be fresher.  And and if the O runs through CMC I would think the odds of turnovers decrease vs a CMC less O.  So it decreases the odds of the D getting in bad spots off turnovers. 

bad offense generally works against a D.  Good offense generally helps them. Just a variation of that thought process.

CJ is already hurt and hasn’t looked good. I know it’s been only really two games but I’m not expecting much out of him to be honest.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
