Fox says Moore will start next week vs. New England

December 6th, 2009, 5:09 pm · Post a Comment · posted by sreed

Panthers coach John Fox said he expects Matt Moore to start next Sunday at New England.

”I’d say there’s a good chance of that. I don’t like to back ourselves into a corner because we haven’t had a chance to celebrate this win. But I thought he did fine today,” Fox said.

What about Moore in all of this?

A gameplan which does not let you throw against statistically worst team i the league and then refusing to declare you openly that you will be starting despite the 18 interceptions and broken finger Jake has. Might this have a small impact on his confidence when he actually gets onto the field?

I am sure Fox has confided in his players, but saying things publicaly give people a huge boost. To know that Fox is happy declaring him the starter to the world suggests he has the utmost confidence in him. To keepit in mystery suggests he doesn't.

Fox is so clever. Fooling the Patriots into spending countless wasted hours preparing for Jake.

Patriot's game plan against Panthers:

If Matt Moore named starter - Focus on stopping the run, marginally emphasize passing defense.

If Jake Delhomme named starter - Focus on stopping the run, emphasis on proper blocking technique and ball control for the defensive backs.

Got to keep them on their toes.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
