Beason on WFNZ


Mother Grabber

Recommended Posts

Listening to WFNZ this afternoon over the web.

Jon Beason is on taking questions from callers.

Blew off a call about Fox, saying that he thinks Fox is a great coach but as players they play for whomever is there.

Said that he thought this week is a winnable game, but then went back into presser mode - put on your pads go out and play, blah blah blah.

More as I hear it...

Last segment with Beason:

They have a half day practice tomorrow, and a long one on Friday to make up for lost time during Thanksgiving.

Walt (caller) wished him and his mom and happy Thanksgiving, but didn't ask him anything just told him to be safe.

Talking about the Miami Heat...ummm, who cares...

Talking about Auburn not being able to play D and how Alabama's secondary is suspect.

That seems to be it. Sorry, no real meat about the Panthers in there.

I hate to play Devil's advocate but since losing Connor our run defence has been torn apart. Beason is not playing like the best linebacker on the team at the moment, which he has been since he has been here. I wouldn't be too concerned he has also been suspect in covering the TE in the passing game recently as well.

To be fair, Beason brings it every week, it must be hard to maintain a high level when the team has been so poor.

Just to clarify this guy is one of the heartbeats of the team and he should always be part of the core, however this season a lot of guys have been the difference makers for us.

Because the guy that is playing the WILL is a scrub off the street. The Panthers went from Anderson - Connor - Beason to Anderson - Beason - Scrub. Of course the run D will get worse.

Beason would probably look better w/ a fat body like Ed Johnson at DT. Beason has always made it clear how important that is for him.

Beason is 100% the heart of the defense. I remember being at the Bengals game this year and even at the end he was getting hype in the huddle trying to rev up the other guys. If everybody played with just a ounce the heart and passion he brings we wouldn't be talking about the #1 draft pick now.

dude spent all offseason trying to be prepared to play a new position, finally starts getting accustomed to it by waiting for plays to develop, and connor goes down. they send him back inside where the mentality is different and he has to make his decisions quickly again. he just needs to get back in his "rape all that moves" mindset and he'll be fine.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
