You see Brown spin move and stay in place?

Or how about when he almost got there only to be pancaked.

Or the other time when he nearly got a sack but was yet pancaked again.

Or the numerous times we blitzed straight into their linemen instead of trying to confuse them or out flank them.

Haha welcome to Fox's team. Our D ain't really been that good since Jack Del Rio left for Jags. Jack Del Rio was the best DC we ever had. His D help us get to the SB. But when he left our D went with it. Plain and simple John is not that good of HC. He will fail this year and no team will want him as a HC. At best he might get lucky to get a job once again a DC. It took Dom Capers a few years to back as aDC after been fired from the panther in 96. Fox will be lucky to even have ajob next year period. Plain and simple we need new blood in here.:drool5:

In 2008 Detroit had a smothering defense in the preseason, allowing only 6.8 points per game. Come the regular season, teams started game-planning against them and scored 32.3 points per game. Detroit went from first in preseason to the last in the regular season.

I don't know what made me think of that...

Uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm, the thread title says it all- it was pre-season. While the Panthers were busy trying to figure out what their D-line would look like, Panther opponents were trying to figure out their respective O-lines.

Today was the beginning of the regular season and a young, inexperienced bunch of guys went against a veteran O-line. Simple as that.

First half was impressive....2nd half was where New Yorks coaching staff saw our rookies...the Panthers have established the building blocks for the future.
For whos future. Fox's future!!! There is no Building going on here. It's a matter of trying to survive this season. We have no offense hardly our D giving hugh plays down field despite them slowing the run for the most part. The only postive thing for us today is out STs. Other then that Fox is so screwed at the end of the season. If Fox goes so does Davidson and meeks. Because you know any new HC that comes in here will want his own staff for a fresh start.:rolleyes:

I was pretty impressed with our defense overall. When you're turning the ball over right and left, it's tough to keep the other team from racking up points (unless our D can also play against our offense).

I was, however, disappointed with the pressure from the DL. I just don't understand how they played so well against the run and were able to get in the backfield against the run, but couldn't get close enough to Eli to spit at him.

The other disappointment was Charles Godfrey. If you look at the stat sheet, you would've thought he was the star of the defense today. But, if you watched the game, you realize that he was horrendously awful and played a major role in just about every big play the Giants had.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
