Winners and Losers


1989

Winners and losers from todays game vs the Cardinals

Winners

Cam Newton- Broke the record for most yards by a debuting QB, rookie or not with 422 yards. Also threw for 2 TD's and ran for one. Hushed his naysayers. Really brought some respect to Carolina. No brainer. :cam:

Steve Smith- Got his swag back. 178 receiving yards and 2 receiving TD's. (had him on my fantasy team) These two are going to have a BRIGHT future together. No brainer as well.

Brandon Lafell- 4 receptions for 70 yards. Came up with some HUGE catches. Showed that he actually does have hands. Showed that he MAY be capable to be our #2 while Gettis is out. He has a HUGE opportunity with this team and the situation we're in.

Chris Gamble- Proved that he can still be relied upon as a #1 corner. Only allowed 3 catches for Fitz.

Greg Hardy- notched a sack and forced fumble and had a ton of pressures. Was in Kolb's face often. Going to have a bright future!

honorable mention: Greg Olsen- Played great for his Panthers debut. Exactly what we expected of him.

Losers

O-Line/Running game- No holes all night. Only 74 rushing yards.:(

Run D- wasnt as bad as some expected but we still gave up too many big runs to a no name RB.

SPECIAL TEAMS- essentially lost the game for us with that punt return. Couldnt do much with our returns either. No confidence in Mare? Punting from the 40 yard line???!!!

Team as a whole- Was explosive in the pass game but was very 1 dimensional. With a run game and a run d, we would have easily of won this game.

dishonorable mention- pass D. Played a lot better than we all thought that they would but gave up too many big plays in crucial moments.

Thoughts?

Just watched the Cardinals post game presser. Perhaps the biggest loser of all time is Patrick Peterson. He said, (on pass defense) "I feel like I had a pretty good game. He made some plays, I made some plays..."

WHAT???!!!

Steve "Peterson's Daddy" Smith

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
