deserves his own thread if Jimmy Clausen does!

Yes, I know his stats only show 3/7 for 32 yds but if not for

Gross's propensity to hold at the most inopportune times, he would have been 5/7 for 68 yards. The first holding negated a 17 yard pass which would have put the Panthers at the Ravens 16. The second hold negated a 19 yard pass on a 3rd and 15 to the Ravens 18. In both instances, the Panthers would have had a first down in the red zone. At worst, they still would have had an opportunity for a FG.

Clausen is getting a lot of attention today but it looks to me like Moore has pretty much picked up were he left off last year.

I thought he was 4/7?

Either way, what surprised me last night is that Clausen looked more poised. It looked to recognize the blitz better and either check out of the call or hit his hot read. Moore just looked shell shocked when they came after him. Now, maybe he just wasn't expecting it as most defenses play very vanilla in the preseason and you usually don't see blitzing like that in the preseason. Clausen probably benefited from seeing Moore face sell out blitzes and came in prepared to face the same.

Clausen's getting the attention because he's the golden boy that fell in the draft.

In the eyes of the media, last night was more about Clausen's first preseason game and the introduction of the Ravens new offense. Clausen's poise was great.

Moore is Moore. Not many qbs do well when the Ravens blitz almost every play. Especially in preseason when Fox and company aren't game planning around them.

Keep in mind too that Clausen was facing a bunch of Raven's 2nd stringers. I'd be interested to see if he could hang with starters.

I thought the Ravens had most of their starting D in for the entire first half? Could be wrong but I know the starting secondary was still playing in the 4th quarter due to all the injuries they had.

they are thin in the secondary b/c of injury. Not sure the guys playing w/ the first unit are who they plan to have come regular season.

THAT is what is truly concerning. There's a good chunk of that Ravens secondary that we saw last night running with the 1s and 2s who probably won't even make the regular season roster, yet our young WRs still couldn't get any separation.

For the most part I think separation was fine...the big problem was the Defensive Linemen in Moores face the entire night! I don't think I have watched a preseason game with that many blitz packages set up! It seemed like they blitz on every down...poor Matt didn't really have time to survey the field; which makes Jimmy's outting even more impressive! Ops no one open down field, pocket closing in...lets shovel pass it!!! Loved it!

Clausen will probably get the same praise next week. Moore will see an aggressive and possibly the best D in the NFL in the Jets next week. Rex will bring heat also with his studs. With no Smitty, there ain't much concern in what you dial up. Then Clausen will come in to play the scrubs.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
