Panthers go No.1: P.P.


TANTRIC-NINJA

Peterson is great no doubt but if Meeks is running the secondary will he be wasted if we continue to run primary zone and not man coverage? Seems to me that conventional wisdom puts the emphasis on safety play and deep coverage as much or more than corner play. He appears very sound in man coverage and as a returner. I would like to see if we can find a poor man's Peterson in perhaps the third or fourth round. But then again if we could find a stud DE or a top rated quarterback who falls to the third, then it could free us up to get Peterson. Just don't know if he is the primary need at this point.

i also think we run alot of zone coverage so peterson might not fit what rivera is looking for, but we could still find a way to use his talents IMO if he is who we want

Isn't Meeks just coaching the secondary? I would imagine that McDermott is going to be calling the plays and in doing so will be determining the coverages.

I think Peterson gives us a shut down corner along with an offensive threat on punt return and kickoff return duties. Our team has been searching for someone to take over these duties for a couple of years trying out several players. We need a threat at this position giving us a score or good field position. This helps our offense and makes the defense better. WIN WIN

i've actually been pleasantly surprised at how good captain is at punt returns.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
