Defense is turning around?

Both Carolina and NE are top 5 in % of drives that result in a turnover

that will be the game. Who doesn’t lose it 

I was trying to be optimistic and left us out. If I recall the list correctly, Dallas, Miami, and NYJ are right there with us and NE. Like you say, whoever takes care of the football better will probably win those games.

We also don't know what we are.  In the first two games, turnovers killed us, and made the defense look worse than it actually was.  We also have a lot of new guys learning their roles.  During the first game, I listened to the Radio broadcast, and Luke basically said that our defense was pretty good when playing straight up, but got confused and out of place when the offense motioned.  I think that is due to young/inexperienced players on defense, especially at linebacker.  

I was including us. I am not a Bryce guy but am not unable to see what the offense could look like if he played well, even given his limitations. 

And the defense for sure has a chance to get better quick with these young guys. 
And if we can get any decent LB play. I hear Wallace has done a 180, which he sure needed to do. Hope it isn’t a mirage.

What in the hell is Rozeboom doing there? Why didn't he just shoot the gap under the double team?! 

That was bad. He completely over pursed when the edge was already set and left a gaping cut back lane. If we get a late top 10 pick, I wouldn’t mind if we traded down some and draft the best MLB in the draft. Most likely Anthony Hill Jr from Texas.

I said it in the around the NFL thread, but I will repeat it here. 

 

For Baltimore, MLB Trenton Simpson has seen his snap counts dwindle to a handful of plays the last two weeks. He seems to have fallen out of favor being replaced by the new rookie. No idea what it would cost, but I hope Dan is at least reaching out to gauge interest in moving him. Don't want to spend the boat on him, but if he can be had for cheap he would be a great injection of potential at the LB level.

Too soon to say. Health of Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Brown is going to be huge. It’s been huge the past few years and will continue to be until we draft better players. Luckily I think Scourton and Princely might be good enough to be in the way of offenses year one and maybe grow into playmakers in the future. I still think there are 4 better inside backers working at Walmart than what we have on this roster.

Trevin Wallace’s is just alright, he made more plays this week. But Rozeboom is a really bad tackler. Like how is that your job in the pros and you’re that bad. If we get one good ILB then we are set

I've never been an Evero fan but ignoring all the BY noise, I can't help but notice that they have been fairly solid so far this year. Not perfect, but definetly heading in the right direction. Hopefully they will keep it up and I can post a big apology to him at the end if the season.

Falcons offense was the easiest to gameplay for. 90% of the time they are in shotgun its a pass. Their plays were dictated by same formations. This made it easier to gameplan for out of all of our opponents. NE will let us know if we made any progress with our coordinators preparation.

The Jags are 2-1, the Cardinals are 2-1 only losing to the 49's at the last second and the Falcons scored 22 and 20 against the Vikings and Bucs the two weeks prior to the Panthers. Not sure I would consider any of them trash.

Penix was straight trash Sunday.

    • So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk. 
    • Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
