Maybe we would have had more attempts at the plate had the ball be put in CMC's hands more often in the first half.  But let's say that first half struggles is why he didn't get the touches.  FML

I counted 3 plays that were for CMC but we botched the snap in the first half alone. That to me is a big game changer for us.

It's the job of coaching to 1) make sure your players do everything right and 2) make players correct what they don't do right.

If you didn't know this before, you know it now . 

I imagine tackling is something that's pretty difficult to evaluate in training camp when players aren't going all out, even during full contact.  And to your #2 - Snow mentioned that they're working on fixing up the tackling in preparation for the Giants.

...or just run over 😕

I noticed a lot of the time when he had a tackle on him and got a chip from the te then he would totally give up on even trying to rush the passer and would stop and stand there.  I think that's part of why he brought it up and said hes going to have to work through it.

C’mon, we had three different starting Cs in 2016 due to all the injuries. Did we ever have that many bobbled snaps that year? New Cs and QBs come in games in college and NFL all the time and occasionally there can be a bad snap and they’ll say it’s a new pairing. Baker had more than enough reps in all of the preseason with Elflein that we should never have had that many bad snaps. I think PFF or somebody else said 4 of the 5 were on Baker. Baker is enough of a vet now that he should be able to lineup behind any starting NFL C and not have 5 bad snaps. After the first one, make sure you stay in there and secure the ball.

we had a NFL staff then.   I'm sure they would have addressed the known QB/C exchange issue before it spilled over into week 1.  And then Rhule bullshitted that hadn't been a problem.  That wasn't true per reporting.

Well at least Phil feels better about the way we are losing. They are showing the kind of chill that makes me think Tepper has really told this staff they have the whole 7 years of the contract come hell or high water! There is no urgency and a care less attitude. They look like they couldn't be bothered.

they're just collecting checks at this point. snow going to retire in a few years and rhule will either get fired after this season or tepper actually lets him stay for 7 years. either way, they're going to get their checks win or lose

If we see the same qb-c exchange issue early on Sunday i could see Bozeman getting a shot. If the defense is porous and gives up big plays to Saquon then I believe Matt Rhule will be pressured to move Snow to a position coach. I would be ecstatic to see Steve Wilks get the reigns again

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
