PFF grades from Panthers Week 5 loss to 49ers (Ekwanu and Brown excellent, CJ Henderson horrific)

Yeah but Wilks also apparently hated the way the defense was run overall. 

If he struggles under Wilks/Holcomb then I think it is safe to say he isn't a guy.

I would like to see him play for actual NFL guys.

Wilks is a cover three guy. He likes his CBs playing off the line in soft zone and reading the QB to maximize opportunities for INTs. The problem is that we have a bunch of man cover CBs. Like McAdoo, Wilks was never a fit for our talent and was just a resumé hire for Rhule to show Tepper he can get real NFL coaches to work for him.

Henderson is trash and the Jags figured that out very quickly and got what they could get and moved on.

At what point will we realize Shaq is a bust. Dude has never stood out except for a few times a year when Luke was there to tell him what play was being ran by the offense. Good leader, average player, not worth 24 mil next year

Shaq isn’t a bust.  He is a solid LB. 

Shaq is following in the footsteps of Luke, Davis, Beason and Morgan.   Solid LB play isn’t what we are accustomed to and for the first time in a LONG time we don’t have an elite LB.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
