about our run d? We haven't seen but a single preseason game, but it didn't look terrible. It has certainly been worse and there are still questions, but, on paper, does it look like it will be better than last year's?

I don't feel like seeing Michael Turner run for 111 on 9 carries again. :ack2:

I personally feel like there will be improvement if only due to the fact that they have had a year under Meeks' system. If Hardy does step up and see a good bit of field time, even contending with Everette Brown for the job, I think he could do the job. Norwood looked sound as well. Not to mention we still have Beason and Connor, who both play the run well. I think we will see improvement this season.

Discuss.

True, but it wasn't every carry. I remember us stopping the inside run a few times. Like I said, I'm not gonna sit here and say "we're going to be a top 10 run d this year" but there will be improvement, IMO. Even if its only a 20 yard per game difference, there will be some. Even the best run d's give up the inside from time to time.

This thread just got derailed and there's no Salty. It doesn't feel right. I guess FotF is the stand in for now. I will just prepare this thread to get moved in the next 8 hours.

If I had a bi twins who were horny for beer and wings, I would personally ask for them to get me beer and wings, while servicing me, while also servicing each other, while also improving the Panthers run d. :D

There we go. Discussed 2 topics at once.

To early to tell.

We need to see a few weeks worth of run defense before making a call on competent or otherwise.

True. I'm just stoked and really expecting a good season. I just have a feeling. It's like we're so close to being the best team under the radar that it's ridiculous.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By strato · Posted

      I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

      We signed Lloyd

      By strato · Posted

      He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.

      Steelers sign RB Rico Dowdle

      By strato · Posted

      They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
