Confirmed: Al Holcomb is not good at his job

What is this?  3 weeks now since Rhule and Snow were fired?  Each game seems to get worse defensively.  We can't stop anyone and can't even slow them down.  What happened in the first half today, I don't ever recall seeing that happen to a defense in our entire history.  If they could've even played halfway worth a poo last week, we win that game easy, but it ended up being a seesaw battle because the defense is a fuging sieve.  I love Wilks and appreciate him, but Holcomb ain't it as DC.  I know the roster has holes and such, but it is still mostly intact from what Snow had to work with, and it looks 100 times worse.

Maybe it's Holcomb trying to fit the college-style pieces we had for Snow's system into a pro-scheme, but this poo is way worse than anything Snow ran.  This is just bad.  Really bad.

Tried to tell y’all that the defense was going to be much worse off without Snow.  I despised Rhule, but Snows defense was good when not put in bad situations

I agree, but it had to be done because Rhule was just that bad.  But my God, this is just inexcusable.  I can't imagine us getting worse than this defensively next week, buy then again, we are the Panthers.  Anything (bad) is possible.

Phil Snow would not have made this better.

This undersized defense was built to his specifications.

We are very light at the linebacker position. Snow wanted to run primarily 4-3, and 3-3, with 5 DBs. News flash, light linebackers and heavy secondary players equals lots and lots of running yards. I am disappointed we aren’t sending more corner blitzes, it’s about all we can do.

Yeah the lack of blitzes is a problem. I also hate playing so much zone

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
