Yeah, buddy! We have the Carolina Panthers coming into town! This one should be exciting. We really want to finish the first quarter of the season on a high note, so losing this game isn't an option -- No Sir.

Carolina has a lot of weapons on both sides of the ball, so we’re definitely going to have our hands full. Cam Newton, the Panthers’ first round draft pick, and the NFL’s overall number one pick, has a very live arm, is extremely mobile, and he’s a HUGE DUDE, making him a tough guy to bring down. Even though he’s obviously a great talent, I don’t think anyone expected him to come out and play as well as he has during his first three games, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be slowing down anytime soon. We absolutely have to make sure we keep Cam contained.

“Double Trouble,” DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, could be starting running backs on any team in the NFL, so having BOTH of them in the Panthers’ backfield makes their ground game seem intimidating, but we’re prepared to slow’em down.

At wide receiver, they have one of the most explosive and electrifying players in the game: Steve Smith. I know this guy inside and out, and he is, without a doubt, one of the NFL’s ultimate competitors. After the 10 or so seasons he’s been in the league, he’s definitely still a playmaker, because his will to win is so strong. I have a lot of respect for that man.

On our end, defensively, we’re going to have to continue doing a better job of getting off the field on 3rd downs. Also, we’re going to need to get some interceptions and force some fumbles, because we typically win when we rack-up, at least, 3 takeaways.

Not only am I excited about this particular game, but I can’t wait to hookup with my old teammates. As many of you know, I spent quite a bit of time with the Panthers, and I loved every minute of it. One guy I’m especially excited to see is my former defensive coordinator from 2005-’06, Ron Rivera. He’s now Carolina’s head coach, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

This Sunday, we plan on giving the 4th Phase something to cheer about, because it’s been -- what’s felt like -- an eternity since week one when we last won. So make sure Soldier Field is ROCKING - alright? We gotta make the game as tough as it can be for those guys on offense - especially Cam Newton, an inexperienced quarterback who has no idea what it’s like to play in front our rowdy crowd. If you keep it loud, and we keep them grindin’, we’ll move to 2-2.

BEAR DOWN...

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
