Steve Smith Vs. Aqib Talib is key

Last year Smith had just 4 catches for 84 yards vs Tampa Bay (including a 66 yarder). This can be partly attributed to the Panthers game plan, but you can't ignore that the former Buc killer (and my favorite player to play for the Panthers) was not dominating the Bucs like he once did.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Talib is the the best CB in the NFC AINEC. Behind Revis and Aso, he is the absolute best. We will utilize this by playing Quincy Black and Geno Hayes on the LOS every play. Our DTs and LB will be in your backfield before Stewart and Williams can even touch the ball. This isn't the soft coverage of the Tampa 2 anymore (we only ran one play of cover 2 in the whole game vs. the Browns). We play 30% of the snaps with a three man front, with McCoy at the 5 and Miller at NT. We will blitz the living poo out of you and force Moore to beat Talib and T-Jax. If he can't, the bucs will win.

Our past two drafts, we have spent three first day picks on DTs. The days of pushing Ryan Sims and Chis Hovan four yards into the backfield are over. These might be three of the best four DT prospects in the past two years.

Hopefully you don't blitz Moore too much because I'm not sure Jimmy could chuck the ball downfield 60 some yards to Smitty.

I'm not buying it that you guys will stop the run...

They didn't even slow down the run against the Browns, so I am thinking that Williams and Stewart are going to trounce all over their D. By the end of the game everybody on TB's D will look like they are wearing #88 from all of the shoe prints on them.

Teams that blitz get eaten up by the run. Look at the Saints, we always score plenty against them. The problem is they have Drews Brees and score as well. You guys have Josh Freeman and little offense at all. Play Tampa 2 and you lose by 7, blitz all day and lose by twice that on big plays once we get to the second level and nobody is home.

I guess you didn't see Brian Price dominate our pro-bowl RG in training camp. Or Gerald McCoy wreaking havoc on every play in week one. Did you notice that Roy Miller led all rookie DTs in tackles and sacks last year? And he was our third DT.

No, didn't see any of those things, no one in TB saw it either unless they were at the game. Which means that not many people in general did since the game was blacked out.

Looks good on paper until you realize that a) who cares what went on in TC, especially TB's, B) my great gandmother 10 years in her grave could beat up on Steinbach, Mack, and Womack, c) no one but Bucs fans could give two shits about Roy Miller.

Oh, and that other guy you forgot. Joe Thomas, you know the all-pro? I never said you had to give two shits about our d-line, I just said they were going to dickslap your joke of an o-line on Sunday

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
