(By Scott Fowler, [email protected]) It is August, which means NFL predictions are flying. Nobody knows anything for sure - it's much like those scientists who predict hurricanes six months in advance - but it's always fascinating to hear the educated guesses about the Carolina Panthers.p/I had an interesting conversation recently with Jon Gruden, the former Tampa Bay coach and current game analyst for ESPN.

the prediction that wasn't-- more of the same. only thing he said worth quoting--

"I have so much respect for John Fox," Gruden said. "He's one of the top coaches in football. He's the winningest coach in Panther history. His players love him. What he did late last season - that says a lot. I have no idea what he'll be doing in 2011. But I'll tell you this - if the Panthers lose John Fox? Hey, I wish them luck. Because they'll need it."

...and I like Captain Munnerlyn at the nickel. He's going to be a fine player."
"On offense," Gruden continued, "Panther fans may not realize how good they have it. I have never seen a one-two running back combination like DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. And I mean never."

Grudez knows what's up.

I agree that the defense is the shakiest part of the team.

Our problems at WR can be diminished, but the D will be a problem. I see us looking like the Titans last year-a classically good defensive team with a suddenly toothless defense. Hopefully the line surprises me and the LB's gel.

      Week 3 PFF Grades

      On NFL Power Rankings we have moved up from last place to the 21slot we jumped 8 points the Saints are in last place now   Rank 21 8     Carolina Panthers 1-2 Three of the Panthers’ seven victories with Bryce Young starting at quarterback have come against Atlanta. He’s 3-1 against the Falcons and 4-25 against the rest of the league, which is strange, but no one is going to sneeze at a 30-zip whooping after the uninspired 0-2 start. In the first 96 minutes of the season, the Panthers were outscored 53-13. Since then, it has been a 49-0 edge for Carolina. They certainly feel like a more confident operation right now, especially defensively. There are still some warts that could come out against stronger teams, but this suddenly doesn’t look close to the worst defense in the league. Chau Smith-Wade had a pick-six, Mike Jackson added a pick and Christian Rozeboom and A’Shawn Robinson were highly disruptive. This might not be the 1985 Bears, but the Panthers’ no-name defense has come alive.   NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions and Chargers vault into top five, while Colts crack top 10

      The red flag with the black square centered is the international storm warning flag. A single flag indicates a storm warning, two flags stacked is a hurricane warning. In my opinion, the best logo the Canes ever had.

      I am not.  Texans haven't started very strong the last couple of years.  0-2 Ryans first year and 2-1 the second year albeit against some bad teams.   This year, the started off with three potential playoff teams.
