Stanford and Wilson


Peppers90 NC

Recommended Posts

I'm going to take last weeks game with a grain of salt, but I just want to say I was impressed with our starting corners, for what it was. Maybe the wet field conditions helped, but they both played hard and shut down two very good wr's. Both played physical, and had just enough jam on Nicks on that one play where it appears Eli overthrew him, but could it have been from lack of release?

I know in Philly, the aggressive scheme sometime exposed weak corner play, but last week it may have helped it. I watched the game on the NYC local channel so there wasn't much coverage on our team, but from my eyes, they played pretty decent for 3 and 4 corners. I'm wondering if Burney will even make the team because McClain seemed to do pretty well too. Did I miss anything to make me think otherwise?

Please, anyone help me curb my enthusiasm in thinking we might possibly not be as bad off at corner as we are all assuming.

Looked to me like CB was not a hole at all considering Stanford and McClain are our #3 and #4 CBs. Excited to see Gamble and Munny start.

I think the Giants also just flat out sucked that night.....saw some guys get beat we just didn't pay for it.

thats because carolina no longer practices the Bend but dont break philosiphy. In the past, our cb's would allow wr to catch the small stuff but make sure they make the tackle so they dont get a big gain. Now, our cb's have free reign to contend every pass and play the position the way it should be played.

    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
