No game planning in the pre-season....no problem.

Why don't we wait until the regular season before we get out the annointing oils.

Gotta agree, as much as I want to drink the koolaid about the defense, I don't want to get all built for disappointment.

The pre-season isn't a foolproof method of prediction but being the best in the preseason usually means you aren't going to do too bad. I think we'll be a top 10 defense this season.

Lets see how we do after tomorrow night. At this point we haven't exactly faced 2 great offenses and the starters only played 1 quarter each game. Young and Johnson should play at least a half this week.

It would be nice if the first team offense can get some touchdowns as well. Especially without Smitty, Otah, and Stewart. If we can put up AT LEAST 14 points tomorrow, and hold them to less than 10, I will start a thread about how I was right and panthers55 was wrong :)

Just so we can keep score, what was I wrong about? The defense??

I think I also said at the time that I hope I am wrong. Lets see how we hold up though, as I have said ad nauseum, we need depth as well especially if injuries hit like they seem to every year.

If this defense actually plays well this year, Meeks should be in line for Defensive Coordinator of the year if there were such an award.

well, I'm mainly interested in seeing how we do against Chris Johnson. The pass rush has been much better than even I expected, but we really haven't been tested against the run so far this pre-season. Tennessee will be our first MAJOR test.

Also I'm still very concerned about who, if anyone, can step up and be the #2 receiver. I was hoping either Jarrett or LaFell could be that guy, but neither have been extremely impressive. Though Jarrett hasn't been as bad as probably some expected that he would be.

We need to stop CJ and get someone not named Deangelo Williams on the stat sheet on offense.

I'm talking about the first half btw.

Repeat after me:

It is only the preseason and it doesn't count.

A half a game of football doesn't tell you much.............

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
