Too bad Fox, & Trgu don't know...


Birdman

Recommended Posts

I posted something similar to this "back home" but figure it might be "interesting" to shed a little light on some stuff about the upcoming big game that the Panthers, their players and staff simply "don't know".

In no way do I hope this information gets back to Fox and his minions, as I do not wish to influence the outcome of tomorrow night's contest. Please guard these concepts with ferver.

Note that it was reported in a Tampa publication that the Succs spent Monday prepping for the Falcons -- not the Panthers, in spite of the upcoming game for first place in the division.

I think the truth of the matter is, they [the Bucs] don't fear the Panthers but they do fear the Falcons without a doubt. They know we will not allow Garcia to step up into the pocket on his next pass attempt follwing an incompletion. Unlike the Panthers, the Falcons know Garcia takes on a running quarterback mentality anytime he starts struggling -- and especially in the red zone. But the Panthers do not know to use a spy/delayed blitz up the middle to thwart Garcia, even though their LB Davis is the perfect player to fill the spy roll and make play after play against Garcia. Panthers coaches aren't smart. They will let the Bucs Guards doubleteam their NT, pushing him out the way to open up the middle, then allow a struggling Garcia to easily step up and run instead of making that sucker earn his money throwing over middle pressure.

Panthers DE's will run upfield past Garcia, even though Garcia is -- at times -- just a poor-man's Vick-wannabe. Rushing too far upfield just gives Garcia what he wants since he is looking to step up and run in the clutch and when his throwing accuracy is shakey. Panthers will let this fool off the hook with 4-man rushes that leave the middle open after the Bucs Guard pushes the DT to the side so he can scamper up the middle for key first downs. Too bad for Panthers fans.

Do NOT discuss this or allow it to reach Fox or Troglodite (sp). ;)

It's not a plot nor a secret...most teams playing Monday Night prep 1 day for the next team because of the short week.:rolleyes:

Tampa I'm sure gives each team equal respect especially because we've been burned white hot by teams with a negative win/loss.

pssst! Panther Coaches are some of the best.

IMHO, John Fox does not believe in game planning. For him, I think gameplanning reveals the fact that his offensive and defensive strategies are outdated, imperfect, or both.

Interestingly enough, the few times when we have obviously game planned scenarios in the past, we have done well (Vick and T Davis, New England a few years ago).

You know, we're laughing at the guy, but he does make some valid points (even if they're glaringly obvious). Against Garcia, and Vick, Trgo tries to let the DE's shoot around the tackles like against any other quarterback. Unfortunately, this leaves HUGE holes right in the middle of the line that a quarterback like Garcia usually exploites.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
