C. Munnerlyn

Roy Williams may need to get a new tape measure. "Don't let Captain (Munnerlyn) fool you. He might be 5-foot-3, but he plays like he's 6-foot-5," Williams said of the Panthers CB. "So they have a great secondary, we're going to have to bring it to them this week." Munnerlyn is actually listed at 5-8.

Rivera also praised Captain on his defensive play and leadership during his latest presser, especially when Gamble went out vs The Jags with a concussion.

All in all good remarks for a guy a lot of you were calling no better then a Nickel Corner during the offseason.

People who thought Gamble and our cbs/secondary weren't good enough are idiots. They aren't the best, but easily good enough. That isn't where our defensive problems are. And they will look even better when our DTs get consistent penetration.

A better CB than anything we have would be a luxury, and we already spent on luxuries. We need a starting material DT, hopefully a rookie we already have, but if not in next year's draft we need a DT before CB imo.

I think our corners match up well against their small speedy receivers. We have physical corners who can get a good jam at the line of scrimmage. Thats how you them... CJ and Hardy will be putting their nuts on Cutler's chin before Hester and Knox get downfield. The pass rush will be key this week, as the Martz offense rarely runs the ball.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
