Biggest problem I saw tonight...


Recommended Posts

Honestly imo the biggest problem is coming from the defensive side. I know the offense is gonna stank until the o line is healthy and cam is comfortable, but i didnt realize how bad this defense was. WE have good safetys and great linebackers but i didnt see the bengals smacking us in the mouth like they did. I thought the d was gonna be one of the good things from this team with sean mcdermott, but maybe they havent gotten it together yet

When one of my friends, a fellow Panther fan, asked me what I thought we would do this season in regards to W/Ls... I said, realistically, 5-7 wins. The homer part of me wanted to say 10.

After watching this team the last 2 weeks, with watching yesterday's game under the assumption that we game planned for it... I'm gonna say we may be more in the 3-4 win category.

If Cam is starting, we'll have a better chance to win more games than we did last year because he occasionally hits on long throws and his ability to run... So we'll score more points than last year, but nothing to brag about. But regardless of what any individual does on offense, it won't be enough.

This OL is HORRIBLE. Same for the defensive line, in fact, the DL might be worse than the OL. And with that in mind, we're in for an ugly season. Very ugly. The DL is strikingly more horrible than last years, which is really, really, really bad.

All summer I've been thinking how our offense did our defense no favors last year, going 3-and-out every drive, keeping the D on the field too much. Now, what Cam and our offense need more than anything is a defense that gets off the field, helping put our offense in favorable field position so we can work to actually sustain some offensive drives. Now I see a defense that is content to be on the field for 70% of the game. fml

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
