Tampa starting LG goes to IR.

Not that we really have the pass rush to make hay out of this, but..it can't hinder things.

The more banged up they are, the better for us.

We just have to capitalize on their weaknesses.

[LinvilleGorge]

Just wanted to clarify that I am neither a starter for the Bucs nor am I going to IR.

Rams were theoretically licking their chops at our depleted defense last week.....and turned the ball over 3 times.  

I mean, it still a good thing.  Sometimes it takes a week or so for the weak links to really show what makes them so weak.  And sometimes, Derrick Brown is just there and any downgrade is hopefully a problem

Yep. Football can be a crazy game. If you're on an NFL roster you have the ability to play well if the stars align, especially if your opponent is overlooking you. That third stringer was probably all state in HS and all conference in college. You would've had that game circled on the calendar to face him back in those days and ain't nothing changed now. He's still him.

We have a certain defensive lineman who could wreck a backup even if it's not about sacks.

Not going to say that someone is happy about this, but...

Well, mostly for lack of anyone else, he is our sack leader as well.

Well without those turnovers the game would have been just as bad if not worse than the Bucs game. Our defense could not stop anything and was getting completely destroyed. 
Rams, like the Packers, beat themselves.

yeah, I think despite the turnovers, the Rams own one of those quirky efficiency offensive stats of having the top 3 of 4 best outings and vs the Panthers ranks because we were a wet paper bag defense......with sort of 3 random takeaways.

I think we know where Brown will line up

Say what you want, those turnovers weren't flukes though. Great read by Jackson on the pick 6 and great individual plays by DB on the batted ball INT and strip sack. The Rams are good enough to consistently move that ball against the very best defenses, so of course they are going to be able to move the ball at will with over half of our defense being backups to the backups...

And our offense played a great game. The Packers game was definitely a GB shooting themselves in the foot type of loss for them. I don't think the Rams game was the same - we executed well on offense and came up with the timely turnovers we needed on defense.

I’m just waiting to see how long Baker holds on. 

[Basbear]

Wriffs is hurt some too, he missed last game....but he's an animal and I expect him to be on the field for the remaining games....

Panthers have had more than normal injuries, especially at OL....... the stat is 10th different OL starters in 13 games....Goodwin and Gilbert deserves main props for keeping the standard high. I know in past years, nearly all Panthers OL were not able to have just one injury without the whole group floundering.
