That's funny.

Jtgreensboro has told me both Gross and Wharton suck.

hard to take someone's opinion seriously if he would argue that jordan gross sucks

at any rate, surprised the line is this high though, i do believe it is quite good

edit: my bad, he didn't actually say that.i should read the thread before i post :(

I can't understand why Bernadeau is starting... surely Schwartz or Ziemba are better options at RG?

Ziemba and Schwartz are both more natural tackles than they are guards.

Tackles usually work against ends where speed is more of an issue and footwork is paramount. Guards work against the DTs where size and strength are more important than speed. It takes an adjustment to go from tackle to guard which you would think is no big deal given they line up right next to one another. But look at Wharton who was not that great at tackle but is actually a lot more of a natural guard. He has the size and power but not that great footwork or balance.

A guy who has both is Ziemba. I would think that we could run like crazy if we had Ziemba lined up next to Otah. They would make for a pretty nasty combination. Two roadgraders lined up next to each other.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
