Matt Moore and the preseason...

[Carl Spackler]

I'm confident if Moore goes 6-19 for 81 yards and 2 picks in week one, the offensive line and receivers will be at fault according to many on the Huddle. Because as we should know, if Matt makes a mistake, it's not Matt's fault, ever.

That's ridiculous. MM is going to make mistakes just like any other QB will, but for the most part, he hasn't even had a chance due to pressure and penalties, and the same goes for Clausen so far. No QB is gonna look good when they barely have 3 seconds to throw.

dwill and stewart running for 160+ will open everything up. Thats why he played so well last year. Defenses were so involved trying to stop the run. Its clear that fox is calling more pass plays than he ever would in regular season so that they can get some work in.

[Jpjr]

Are you kidding me? The preseason is nothing like the regular season. Right now, they are rotating WR's in and out like crazy just to see who can play, and there is no game planning whatsoever.

Come to think of it, I can't remember MM ever having a good preseason game as a Panther. I've heard that he did well in his first preseason in Dallas, but I didn't see it.

"Are you kidding me?"

Apparently only Matt Moore is entitled not to play like he practices/preseasons. The only problem is that last year's preseason play was more or less what we got out of the Panther's offense. I guess I'm the only one that thinks it could happen again.

I'm fully supportive of Matt Moore starting the season and hope he does well. But please, stop with the lame excuses.

So you expect our QB's to make plays when a free blitzer is hitting them in about 2 seconds? There is not a QB alive that doesn't need time to throw. And like I said before, some of the best plays by both Clausen and Moore have been called back by stupid penalties.

[GRWatcher]

What really bothers me is that our o-line should be ready for the blitz, preseason or not. And our QB should be ready for the blitz too. Because they know that there are 16 games coming where the defenses will be doing nothing but blitzing. With a young, new QB, that's what they do. Moore or Clausen. We don't have rookies on that line, there are no excuses. Game planning will not provide that much improvement when the technique is in question. Cold fact is they were owned in both games.

No, jpjr, you are not the only one that thinks it could happen again. "But please, stop with the lame excuses." I agree. This is fundamental NFL football not flag football. Be prepared.

When your line is playing as badly as ours is, the QB has to make time. See Rodgers, Aaron, 2008 & 2009.

Aaron Rodgers' OL is nowhere near as bad as advertised imo. He has tons of WR talent also. A lot of his sacks and pressure are b/c he holds on way too long to the ball.

See Matt Moore, 2007 & 2009 regular seasons.

[beastson]

Once he gets Smitty back, both running backs, and better blocking from the o-line, Moore will be fine. Clausen too.

Add on game planning

Aside from this past game, he did make some nice throws IMO was going to lead us to a TD if it wasn't for the stupid ass penalties again Bal

Im glad we playing blitz teams, we'll be better prepared

[monstercat]

FTR, I am a little worried about this offense, because I do believe they should be ahead of where they are, but at the same time, the preseason is rarely ever a real guage of how things are gonna be in the real season. A lot of times, they are just experimenting out there and the plays they're calling are not designed to take advantage of match ups or defensive alignments like they will be when it counts.

[GRWatcher]

See Matt Moore, 2007 & 2009 regular seasons.

Our o-line was much better by the time he was starting, there's no comparison to his play with this bad o-line.

Don't get me wrong, I want Matt Moore to succeed as much as anyone else. And all I'm saying is that their "base" package better include picking up the blitz this season or MM or any QB we have is toast.

You don't have to lie to kick it

What really bothers me is that our o-line should be ready for the blitz, preseason or not.

One of the most important things about getting ready for a regular season game against a team like the Jets is installing blitz pickup packages. The coaches are running fairly standard blocking schemes for preseason because they need to evaluate who our RG will be, and to keep from showing some of the packages we plan to use in the future.
