Me: "So Louis, based on what you've seen and experienced so far...Do you think there's a snowball's chance in hell this D-Line can stop the run this year?"

Leonard: "Hell yeah, we've got the putty, caulk, and the fuggin cement to patch up that wall now baby"

Only in a perfect world.

I don't really understand why so many fans assume that the Panthers will struggle against the run this year. Except for the rookies, all of these guys now have a year in Meek's system, so they should be in much better shape than they were early last year, which was when opponents really racked up the rushing yardage on them. They got much better against the run as the season wore on in 09.

Hopefully, they can stay relatively healthy through TC this year as well. I think people are kind of forgetting just how hard it was for the Panthers to replace Kemo last year while Peppers was taking up all their cap space.

Yeah, now we don't have to worry about Kemo's fat ass not making it through training camp. I believe our defensive front is gonna be a force to reckon with. Maybe not at first, but a few games in, they'll start to gel. I actually think I like our chances against the run more so than the pass. Although, I think our secondary will pick up the slack.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
