Expectations for Saturday Night...

Recommended Posts

Some things to look for Saturday night against the Giants:

  • Really sloppy play, especially from the Panthers, thanks to fewer practices than normal.
  • A more vanilla defense than we will run the regular season. I am sure RR will speak to Couglin and agree to limit blitzes in favor of player safety.
  • Long looks at Naanee, Gary B., and Hartsock on the O. Rivera probably has not yet figured out exactly what he will do with these 3 players. In the case of Naanee, is he a legit candidate for the 2nd spot or not? As to the two tight ends, there is a reasonable shot one will not be here when the season starts, so he needs to get a good look at them in action.
  • At least a couple of designed running plays for Newton.

What would you add to this list?

Fox was slowly becoming one of the few who didn't believe in preseason blitzing......did the Ravens or the teams we have faced recently in preseason agree not to blitz at all?

I don't care about negative plays as they will happen but it is a MUST to see some positive.

    • 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.
