Gilmore was on the field playing coverage on both McLaurin's two biggest first half plays.  The long bomb down the sideline and then the TD.  He just wasn't on McLaurin. 

He was on the field on the first one, not the second.

At the beginning of the game he was mostly playing on 3rd down and passing situations, then he had a series he didn't play much at all and then the series right before the half he played almost the entire series.  I quit rewatching in the thrid.

it's clear they are limiting his snaps and mostly using him in passing situations, not the other way around.

Maybe he isn't 100%, even when he does come in they are leaving Donte on the other team's #1?

Either they did a really good job of attacking us passing on early downs which is rather surprising for a RR team.

Everyone who matched up with McLaurin had a tough time outside of Gilmore. In Jackson’s case, this was his most disappointing performance of 2021 by a considerable margin.

I'd be curious to know the yardage he gave up vs the Vikings.  Had to be over 100.   But there was at least some nice plays mixed in.  I can't recall any from Sunday. 

The games he faced an actual test were the Washington, Vikings, and Dallas games.  To me, he just looked like the guy we have always watched.  Steady mix of good and bad.   Everyone else had garbage QBs or garbage WRs.

Gilmore was in the long bomb down the left sideline to McLaurin that setup the first TD and the McLaurin TD at the end of the first half. 

2:50 mark and 6:10 mark

2nd half they flipped and started putting Gilmore on McLaurin.  Which indicates that was purely a coaching calling in the first half IMO of who they wanted matched up.   I think the staff over values speed.  Yeah, Jackson is faster than Gilmore.  McLaurin got real wheels.   But the coaching staff clearly acknowledged they needed Gilmore to solve the problem and they could of been doing what they did in the 2nd half all first half.  Gilmore was still on the field for the biggest plays he made in the first half. 

Not putting Gilmore on him from the jump was just dumb.  McLaurin is what gets that O going.  Everyone knows it.  We opted to let him get going despite having the easy answer to it.

I was referring to his two long catches in the first half since you said his "biggest plays".

I agree it might be just a coaching decision, my comment was in regards to you saying we using Gilmore more on running downs, that not correct.  Form the most part they seem to be using him more on 3rd and passing situations, who they have him cover when he is on the field is a different discussion.

I am wondering if the Panthers will even sign Donte Jackson next year.  They plenty of options next year at Corner Back.  A.J. Bouye, Stephon Gilmore, Donte Jackson, and Rashaan Melvin all veteran guys and younger Jaycee Horn, C.J. Henderson, and Keith Taylor Jr. Gilmore.

Donte Jackson, and Rashaan Melvin are in the final year of their current deals. Meanwhile, Bouye is under contract through the 2022 season.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
