Week 1's "Step Into My Office"

My nominees:

  • Special teams - Specifically the dumbass gunners who ran past Peterson on his punt return, stopped, turned around, looked at him, then appeared to wait for the whistle to be blown as if they thought he had called for a fair catch. There was at least one guy that did this standing about 10 yards behind Peterson when he caught it, and I believe there was actually two guys. Inexcusable.
  • Sean McDermott - All out blitzes on multiple 3rd downs, twice resulting in epically blown coverages for long TDs. Really disappointed in his calls. Some made sense, but these did not. Yes, I love the aggressive style, but that doesn't mean you do it the whole game, especially on 3rd downs with us controlling the game, against a team with Larry Fitzgerald (who usually requires double coverage).
  • Offensive Line - Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Ugly. Pathetic. Disgusting. Any other QB would have been sacked at least 6 to 7 times today. Run game couldn't get going at all because they couldn't hold their blocks. Just horrible. Worst part is, this is probably what we are stuck with.
  • Every WR not named Smitty or LaFell - Big, physical WRs that are not physical and can't get open. Thanks. Experiment over. Please sign Donnie Avery.
  • Merrill Hoge, Nawrocki, Peter King, and any other Cam hater - STFU.

That being said, if we shore these areas up, we have an awesome team. Regardless, I expect 7 wins is a realistic expectation. This Packers game is gonna be tough though...

I would invite whoever gave Beason clearance to play today

I was actually gonna add that as well, but that was a hard call either way. I said in the preseason that I expected him to be out for awhile and that I thought the injury was much more serious than they let on.

Really disappointing.

the blitz that resulted in the TD. 7 guys came on the blitz. 4 were left to cover 5 receivers.

d'oh.

the punt return. Everyone thought he was fair catching. He didn't. d'oh.

Can't win too many games giving away 14 points like they grow on trees.

I, personally, would add Chud to that list as an honorable mention.

His play calling was better than Fox's, but we abandoned the run early. A simple change to unbalanced o-line ups and off tackle runs gave us some daylight, but he didn't keep it up. It could have made a huge difference to our run game had they started using less conventional run plays. There should have been more draws too.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
