Did I dream that...damn 🤦‍♂️

How about benching a few guys?!?

Well we try that too but the bench guys are on the bench for a reason.

I am not too concerned about the WTF's game. I will be concerned if the defense shits the bed again this Sunday. Otherwise, just a throw away game where not much worked out for us.

I would be interested to hear someone who actually knows the game break down the specific issues with the defensive struggle vs specific teams. 

I'm not interested in emotion. I'm talking about a real analysis from a real coach or former player. We don't have that anywhere. 

 

I suspect Thomas Davis will on Panthers Huddle…it’s on in Raleigh on Saturday nights around 7pm, depending on the finish of the preceding college game 

Thomas is well worth making the time to here…rest Of the show is pablum.

A lot of times when a defense is getting gashed in the running game it’s not just about effort or having bigger players, it’s about discipline.

Gap responsibility and doing your assignment is paramount and my guess is this is why you are hearing all of these comments about leadership needing to hold people accountable.

 

I am wondering if the Panthers inability to stop the Washington running attack was due to poor gap control or the fact that the team is lacking in talent when they face teams that play a smash mouth running game? I hope the answer is the first,not the latter, or else we are in trouble..

I think Daviyon Nixon was playing some underrated DT before he got injured, Phil Hoskins still isn't up to speed so you're left with Bravvion-Rex as your only rotational DT

We are 6th in the league in points allowed, but by all means lets go to big boy ball so we stop the few teams that run on us but then we can complain that we can't stop 75% of the teams that throw on us.

Don't get me wrong, its never a bad idea to add talent, my point earlier is often when a team has sucess running on you its not just because your players aren't "big enough", often players are following their assignments.

Personally I think this is why there has been all this chatter of leaders have to hold people accountable.

 

 

I'm speaking of the personell to run 3-4. How they are usually tweeners and hybrid guys. Undersized specialists.

If a throwing team knows you're not good at countering zone blocks, they will feed you a healthy dose until you stop it and throw in you too.

If they decide to put one of their 300lb lineman on your 240-50lb LB, that physical advantage opens up the gaps the RB can then pick and choose.

I see your point but bigger stronger faster always wins the battles in the long run.

Of course bigger, stronger, and faster always wins, but in reality when you go bigger and stronger you end up slower.  
Maybe our defense gets better against the run but worse against the pass.  Maybe instead of being 6th in points allowed we become 16th.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
