CatMan's 10/21 practice observations

How was the player atmosphere and mood? Drab like it is here?

Good question, guys don't look happy... most of them walk out of practice with a very serious look on their face, different than earlier in the season.

You mean George Halas' bones were on the sideline to guide the offense

LOL, may have been inspired by the beating we took from those guys with "GSH" on their sleeve?

Indeed, I thank Catman. It is a real perspective of what is actually going on and more news than what you can get from the Observer or the Panthers.

It is not sugarcoated and PC'd to keep the atmosphere unrealistic like what we witness from the media here in Charlotte.

Do you seriously think they would have posted about the 5-6 passes it took to get a completion or the fact that Moore was 1-10? No

So thanks Catman for using your time and fandom to provide us craving Panther fans with knowledge, the good and bad side of it all.

LOL, sorry - CJ (the security guy that's been there since day 1) reminded me that he's seen them look like poo in practice and play well in the game that week and he's seen them look amazing in practice and play like poo in the game that week, so practice is not always a good indicator of how they will perform come gameday...

Having said all that, I'd still like to see our passing game look good in practice, haven't seen that all year.

I can remember going out to watch practices in years past and Delhomme would be carving up our defense and completing several deep passes to Smitty

I'm not pining for Delhomme to come back, his time was up here - just reminiscing about practices when our offense looked dangerous.

Thanks buddy, now I just need Zod to hook me up with some press credentials so I can really get a good look at what's going on! (kidding)

the more i see, the more i want fox and davidson gone.

anyone hoping for us to have an early pick next year will probably get their wish without having to root for the team to lose. it's just going to happen.

players from other teams talk about how predictable the offense is so what do the coaches do? get more predictable.

I think this is the main problem for us.

We just haven't look good passing at ALL this year. It's sorta hard to take the security guard's advice....

[carolinarolls]

blocking and running the ball will likely intensify on gameday. The passing game as CatMan mentioned needs to be tuned up and stay tuned up.

Lots of misses in Practice does not bode well for the actual game

Hell this is great news! ! M. Moores knock was he sucked in practice and played great in games! ! 11-5 look out NFL here comes the Panthers.Rawwwrrr

[Mother Grabber]

We get Hotlanta twice in our last 4 games. Since we usually tend to get our poo together after game 12 and the NFC seems like it's going to be tight to the end, maybe we can salvage something this year by being a spoiler and keep them out of the playoffs.

Yeah, so far we've only mastered looking bad in practice and in games...

You play like you practice.

They practiced bad in the summer and it was blown off.

They couldn't move the ball in the preseason and it was blown off.

Then they couldn't move the ball in the regular season and it's all of the sudden surprising.

Regarding Clausen working with the RBs, he NEVER had a fumbling issue in college. I never once remember him fumbling and I watched just about every ND game thanks to the national coverage.

His fumbling has to do with him trying to overadjust to the speed of the game and not taking care of the football. It's a correctable issue and one of the reasons why sitting him isn't a bad idea, not a systemic flaw in his game. Glad he is still taking snaps with the 1s.
