I had to watch the game with the Steelers commentators, and I have to say they are easily the most ignorant commentators I've ever heard.

Pike was alright, still floats the ball and has no zip on his passes, but threw some nice balls and even ran for a first down.

Edwards did well, even on his 1 punt return. Can't say for sure if the miscommunication early was his fault or Cantwell's.

Gettis should give Goodson some good competition for KR. Made some nice catches, dropped a couple passes he shoulda caught but got hit pretty good immediately. Should definitely make the team over Moore, Martin, or anyone not Smith, Jarrett, Lafell, or Edwards.

Jarrett had another play with nice separation early in the game, but Cantwell grossly underthrew him and the pass was almost picked off. One example of commentators' ignorance "Jarrett was blanketed by ______ on that play, great coverage" but Jarrett had a good yard step on the defender (whatever his name was). Had the pass been decent, it coulda gone for 6 (although Jarrett probably woulda been chased down).

Goodson looked good again. Vaughn and Savage looked horrid.

I'd say overall the game went ok considering the Panthers started with mostly 3rd stringers with a few 2nds against the Steelers starting lineup. At pretty much every point in the game the Steelers had 1 level of players higher in the game. The only exception being when they took Dixon out early so Batch could shake off some of the rust.

All of the kick and punt returns looked pretty good, and the kick and punt coverage was pretty good too with the lone exception of that one that got run back for a bunch of yards, but even on that one I counted at least 2 blocks in the back that weren't called on the Steelers.

Duke Robinson is trying to get himself cut.

Witherspoon is making a case for his roster spot.

Hardy was all over the place as usual. Lots of penetration, good lateral movement chasing down the play.

Tyler's hit on Dwyer in the backfield was classic.

Landri got some good penetration at times.

The 3rd+ string linebackers looked lost most of the time.

Again, offense moved the ball decently considering it was the 4th string RB, 3rd or higher string WRs, 3rd string QB and backup O-linemen that started the game against the first string Steeler defense. Same thing about the defense, decent performance considering it was all backups, some 3rd string or higher that started against 1st string Steeler offense.

You see that video of draft day when Pouncy was selected and he kissed his twin brother on the lips? Hilarious stuff. Hilarious and disgusting.

Looks like there is some confidence in AE. The other QB's are pretty rough. I love the D esp. 66 and 76.

I hope that piece of poo Markice Pouncey gets anally violated in the back of some dingy bar tonight for that cheap shot on Williams.

Thank Hardy for Jason Baker.

Yeah and considering the Panthers have a great mastermind at offensive coordinator, a coach known for changing it up, and a bunch of young studs at receiver, the footage from last year will also be useless.

I'd hate to be the Giants right now. They're walking into the lion's den and they don't even know it.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
