Rewatching the Panthers-Dolphins Game (Reactions)

So, after last night, we all had some pretty bad knee jerk reactions to the game. Yes, it was bad, and yes, there were a few problems, but, after the rewatching the first half, I have to say, it's not as bad as I originally thought.

- Cam looked better the second time I watched the game. Sure, he made some bad passes, but he also made some really, really nice passes. He also chooses the right times to run. He came up a yard or two short once, and one time he misjudged the blocking, but, overall, his decisions to run are well-timed.

- The DBs are not that good. This was my initial reaction last night, and I still think it. I know that Brandon Marshall is Brandon Marshall, but, there were other receivers (Fasano, Bess, etc) who were wide open on multiple plays. We need a DB like no other position on the field. I don't think the DT is as bad as the DB position, because at least we have bodies there.

- Speaking of the DTs, I don't think they played as badly as originally thought. I don't think they did well by any means, but, I don't think they did horribly. At the midway point of the 2nd half, we had McClain and Hayden going up against Pouncey, Incognito, and Colombo. What did we really expect to happen?

- Speaking on that note, the Dolphins kept most of the first string offense on the field during the 2nd quarter, against our 2nd team defense. There's a reason for the line of scrimmage being dominated.

Also, on the rewatch of the game, I was watching the Miami broadcast of the game. At one point Dick Stockton said that Ryan Kalil was resigned before the game, making him the highest paid center in the NFL.

There was a brief second of awkward silence.

Then other two Miami announcers said they had never heard of the guy.

w.t.f.?

DB's got smoked. But we also didn't have starting LB's in there right? I watched most of the first half and I didn't see Anderson, Beason, or Davis in there. The video quality was low but I didn't hear their names at all that first half.

But the whole defense wasn't playing that great, so it will make the DB's look extra bad. No pressure from the blitz or standard 4 man rush gave Henne all kinds of time.

Still would have liked to see better DB play though.

The Oline was the most bothersome thing. Hopefully they were just "practicing" while the Dolphins threw a lot of diffferent looks at them.

Their inability to block led to the 3-outs. Which kept our D out there forever...

Butterfly effect.

Dolphins had a mix of 1st and 2nd stringers in the 2nd qtr. no bess, no marshall, no bush. And played the entire game without Jake Long.

Yeah, but, there was also three starting linemen against four back-up defensive linemen. It certainly showed.

Also, get used to not seeing Reggie Bush a lot. Going off past play, he can only rush about 6-10 times a game, and catch about 5-8 passes.

Pouncey is a rookie, and we just moved vernon carrey to right guard last week after he played 7 season at RT. With Marc Colombo and Lyndon Murtha as our starting tackles.....we dont exactly have the 1990s dallas cowboy offensive line bro.

Colombo + Incognito + Carrey > Everett Brown + McClain + Hayden + Eric Norwood almost any day of the week.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
