GB is NOT going to blitz as much.

AZ took the typical formula for beating a rookie QB and it didn't work..GB will now know better.

They will rush 3 and 4 along with a good measure of Clay Matthews, but beyond that, they will be dedicating themselves to the Secondary-where they are solid.

Expect us to be much more run heavy this week until they start creeping up in the box, THEN start attempting the deep ball with PA.

Expect Shock and Thor to have monster games as well.

We can NOT get away from our gameplan.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Green Bay back off the blitz and rush 3 while putting 8 in coverage baiting Newton to run or throw into an interception. They will likely blitz somewhat but given how well Newton did against Arizona, I am not sure the all out blitz is a good idea. Even in collge, Newton was better when teams blitzed than when they didn't. If it were me I would play zone and make him fit the ball in tight windows and keep everything in front of me.

and that is when we need to time the run accurately. If they aren't run blitzing.....our backs need to step up.

No they won't, IMO. They will think they can do it better. They blitzed Brees too often and that is why the Saints had a chance to come back......

this is not capers' mo. blitzing any inexperienced qb is typically a good idea-- the cardinals secondary is just trashy

Packer fans will resent this, but their front 4 on D isn't any better than 'Zona's. Their back 7, however, is MUCH better. Along with decent depth. That said, I could see it going your way, in which case, we need to be prepared for. Clay Matthews is a pass rushing LB though, a very effective one at that. I could see them starting out with him as their lone blitzer and adding more if needed. We've got some great minds on this team though, I trust them to adjust accordingly, unlike Fox.

Yesterday's game may give Caper's pause. Newton didn't look very inexperienced.

As for the secondary, I don't know that the 400 yards they gave up to the Saints represents a great secondary. There were a lot of receivers wide open for the Saints. When you zoneblitz and don't get there, receivers are going to be open, plain and simple.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.

      Evero and the pass rush

      I'd give anything to go back to a 4-3 but we are so removed from having the pieces for that. All because Tepper wanted to force this 3-4 on all our coaches.
