Calm down there chicken little. Brayton had two sacks in the first quarter. We still don't know who is going to start at DT. The LB core needs time to gel. Our best corner isn't even playing...we had Munnerlyn matched up on Boldin. We'll be fine.

Gotta shake the rust out bro.

From what I saw I was thoroughly impressed. Although Captain needs to work on his technique before thinking he's starter material.

And hopefully Fox realizes that Beason needs to be in the middle, getting lost on basic level plays is something were not accustomed to seeing from Beast.

on the TD Captain actually had pretty good coverage considering he didn't have help. I think it was more of a slip than anything.

I was actually pretty impressed with D-line. Do need Gamble back, but I don't put too much stock in a bunch of cheap screen plays. Nice throw by Flacco, but wouldn't have happened with Gamble.

Only thing that really concerns me is O-Line... Matt Moore did pretty well given the time he had to throw and penalties. And while Duke Robinson might be a beast in the running game, he's going to get Matt killed on passing downs...

I dunno, I thought the first string defense looked ok. I don't like Beason playing outside, it's just wrong. It should be a rule in the NFL that if you're a pro-bowler in a certain position, you can never play outside that position. Unless you're used in different packages in those different positions. And our secondary was minus Gamble, but they shouldn't have been that bad though. They need a bit of work. Our offense needs more work at this point, but being minus 3 pro-bowl caliber players does kind of limit the amount of skill level on the field.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
