Jimmy looks like a guy who throws to the open man or spots based on reading the defense. In that regard I don't think we have to worry about who we're passing to except to expect that they catch the ball when the ball is thrown to them. We should trust Clausen enough to show the passing game as a threat because the Bengal defense is going to do what's been killing us. They're going to give Clausen ever opportunity to beat them.

We get some balance on offense we'll see we still have a very good O-line.

See above.

Defense is a problem. The didn't look extremely horrible but when they did make mistakes, they were glaring. The lack of pressure from the front 4 hurts and our secondary is struggling especially with our safety getting over the top in coverage. We have to finish play and tackle better. When we get the chance to tackle we can't wiff.

I don't know if we'll win Sunday but I think we'll look a ton better and at least be in the game.

RUN THE BALL WELL.

In 2008, Michael Turner had 1,699 yards and 17 TDs to take the pressue off rookie Matt Ryan.

In 2008 McGahee and Rice combined for 1125 yds and 7 TDs rushing. Rice had 273 receiving and a TD to take the pressure off Flacco.

DOUBLE TROUBLE, Fiametta, and the O-LINE...I'm looking right at ya.

Agreed, but both the Ravens and Falcons of 2008 had better recievers than we currently do. I think we're going to have to pass to set up the run for a bit. Teams know all they need to do is stack nine in the box to stop our running game.

At least Jimmy has that going for him, and maybe he can take advantage of it.

I thought the biggest mistakes was not tackling Josh Freeman. That was just embarassing.

I want to know about our receivers though. We still are not sure who is going to start, are we? Rosario looked good, but DJ did not get a single pass thrown to him. In addition does anyone know the situation with LaFell?

And if he comes back to we give LaFell another shot? Or Keep DJ and Rosario? Personally I was not too impressed with LaFell. Rosario dropped one yesterday, but overall he seemed to get open quite a bit and get separation at times. I always liked Rosario and thought he had potential but he needed to step up.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
