Baker could have literally  sat there for 30 seconds on that play with the 40 yard bomb to mike evans. Nobody on defense got even remotely close to him, you cant expect your CBs to cover forever. 

If you can't rush the passer in the modern NFL you're cooked.  It's been that way for a long time (since at least the mid 2000s when the DB contact rules changed) but it's even more acute now with QBs routinely attempting 40+ passes per game.

Yeah, that's why you have to keep as many good pass rushers around as you can. So that's why we got rid of Hassan Reddick.

I had completely forgotten about Reddick.  I guess that's what happens when you either trade or let walk so many good/great players.  It all starts to blur together.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
