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.

    • I expect Young to play better and the team to play better.  Week one is something I refuse to give much weight to, going back to when we had 4 preseason games.    All kinds of unpredictable outcomes happen week one. Seen it too many times to discount that. Since the 17 game schedule, I don’t pay much mind to results and how the units look until week 3. The units just need time to get the teamwork and timing together under real conditions. Not a series at 90% in preseason. That won’t do it. And it is hard to get around it.  But Frank is right when he points to the difference in how the offense looks with an NFL level arm behind center. Seattle in 2023, Vegas in 2024, were just liberating for the passing game.    This Bryce ball is no fun to watch unless he is having a day where  everything is clicking. Which I think we saw one time. Out of 29. Meh. 
    • Doesn't help that Coen beat up on Evero's defense pretty good last season both times. Looks (and sounds, according to TLaw) like he has the scheme figured out. 😮
    • Yeah, it’s not complicated. is a seam route a hospital ball? No. can a seam route be a hospital ball ? Yes.   if you are throwing seam routes do you need to make sure you don’t hang your TE/WR out to dry? Yes.  Because of injury.  as a former NFL QB explained….Bryce was late with the throw (common issue with Bryce) and  threw it too far up field.  So a seam route became a hospital ball. result? An incompletion that got his WR banged up  honestly have no clue what Bryce defenders are doing at this point.   I’m out on talking about all his bad throws from Sunday.
