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.

      ESPN’s recent grades has Charlotte with a B. I haven’t paid attention to any others really.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
