Smitty's broken arm has been a blessing in disguise...

does this make any sense to anybody at all? :seeya:

Almost seems that they meant Kenny Moore instead of Matt Moore. If its Matt, that statement then makes no sense.

I actually think it hurts us badly but not how most think....

the biggest questions mark coming into this season is how the DL plays in regards to pressure.....if they can get enough pressure so teams don't pick us apart. Well, if all we have to test the defense is Dwyane Jarrett, LaFell, and Moore.....the defense might not get a true test how effective they are. I mean, you can probably give Jarrett and company more time to run there routes and the secondary still survives and looks effective. No team we play is going to be attacking us with the caliber of WRs our defense is currently seeing. I think not having Smitty hurts the defenses ability to gauge where they are.

The hell?

Our D-line is going up against one of the best O-lines in the leauge, a long with one of the best running backs. If they are getting off O-line blocks then they know they are doing ok, if they are getting beat to the ground then they know they still need work...

there is a huge difference defending and getting to a QB when you have Steve Smith caliber WRs you have to worry about......and then with Jarrett/LaFell caliber only WRs. Gotta get to the QB faster to help the secondary with the likes of Smith. Smitty is now out of the equation and defense simply has an easier task. They can take longer to apply pressure and it won't be as costly. imo.

Defense and secondary also plays differently. Beason has commented on it before. The offense are not the only ones who miss out when Smitty can't go.

I don't see how you can judge the pass rush as it relates to not putting the secondary in a bad spot when the only WRs you have are sub par.

is kenny fast enough to take on the X receiver role?

if so then that would allow smith to fall into the flanker or slot receiver role where it seems he would more like to be.

i do think that unless lafell is a whole lot of fail, moore's best hope is to be the 3rd receiver. lafell just fits the moose role better than anyone (except for maybe jarrett if he gets a clue).

But the Panther's don't have Moose anymore. We don't need someone to play his role, we need someone to play their own role.

Maybe Delhommey. :confused:

See?

I agree, a guy like Smith doesn't need the reps while every other WR on our roster does. The only concern I have is the time lost developing chemistry between Moore and Smith.

I guess he meant the role of receiver/blocker. We are still a running team, so whomever gets the number two spot will have to block as well as catch the ball.

[pantherfan81]

ProFootballTalk now reports that insiders at Panthers camp say that Matt Moore is already relegated to the backup spot and many in camp are glad Steve Smith (not the good one) is hurt.

At least he's not gonna punch anyone this time!

PFT is still making stuff up all the time:

RT @ProFootballTalk: Report: Lewis not "entirely on board" with Owens addition ... Just spent 70 minutes with Lewis. I'd heartily disagree.

Yeah... he is poking fun at several things at once.

[Carolina Crazy V2]

Kenny Moore proved he can't handle the pressure last season.

[Deacswin]

Kenny Moore proved he can't handle the pressure last season.

What did he do to prove that? One fumbled punt?

I got it.

this^^^^

we need someone who is a big downfield blocker who can also make the big catch.

now....if we do move kenny into the X position then we could move smith into the slot where he'd rather be. if we are going to have a lot of 3 receiver sets anyway (which it sounds like is going to be the case) then this would make sense.

my question is still....does kenny have the jets to be that downfield threat?
