Step 1: Stop giving up the big plays. Two weeks in a row now we have been killed by passes longer than 15 yards, mainly giving up big third downs. The front seven look good. Really good. The back 4 need to get their thumb out of their ass and get after it.

Step 2: Keep it simple for Jimmy Jam. Memo to Jeff Davidson: don't get cute. Let Jimmy be a game manager. Run the ball, then run the ball some more. Run it until the defensive tackles are halfway dying from lack of oxygen. Then when that happens, run it again. Sure, you may not score any points the first half, but the second half you will score plenty. You have a young team, its time to rope-a-dope the old ones.

Step 3: Enjoy the Wins

Davidson needs to meet with Jimmy and allow him to eliminate the pass plays that he doesn't like. Jimmy has a big ego, and at first I'm sure he'll try to say that he can run any pass play well. That's not reality. There are going to be cetain plays he runs well, and others that he has trouble executing. There is no need to try and overload his donkey with complicated pass plays that take an eternity to develope. Keep it simple, and tailor the playbook to best fit Jimmy's abilities. If the pressure turns up, call a few screen plays. Unfortunately teams are taking away our smoke pass to Smith. I was hoping to see that against TB, but their CB was at the los looking for it. He was right up on Smith and staring at Moore lol. What a nightmare of a game.

On defense our front 4 isn't capable of pressuring the QB. The loss of Peppers was devastating, and without an elite pass rusher we must blits oppsing QBs. Zone defense is worthless without pressure on the QB. No pressure = pitch and catch all day. My favorite blitz is the fire zone blitz, but I really don't care at this point, just blitz. No more pressure free pitch and catch for opposing QBs.

In reality they are getting the same pressure if not more on QB's than this time last season.

This time last season things were not going so well. Compare just about anything to this time last season, holocaust versus this time last season... hmm how bad could the camps be?

What team have you been watching? The Panthers never had a great pass rush early in the season. Pepp never even started to play until around week 6.

I consider myself somewhat of an armchair coach too (to old to be a QB). Only thing I would change about what you say, is I require the donkee coach , after a loss to were the sirr purr suit, be it Davidson or fox.

I think the play calling is the demise in our offense.Running it every down is not the answer.Run most of the time yes but dont be so predictible.Throw more to Mike Goodson,run a couple of draws and throw more short routes.Oh I forgot we do not have a reliable number 2.....get a reliable number 2 wr and then throw some short and intermediate routes.Every now and then change the 2nd down play we call and really throw them off.Some how or some way convert a 3rd down.

We just lost to 2 not so good teams...what is going to happen when we play someone that is good?

On defense we are stopping the run but we are going to have to get pressure on the qbs on third down and long.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
