What the Taints fans are saying...

Thread title: "So how do we feel about our defense and Cam?"

Stat wise I could see him having another big day, but from what I've seen from both our defense and their O, I think we can hold them to field goals and for the most part, out of the end zone. Their offense reminds me of the early 2000s offenses we had with Brooks where he'd throw for 200-300 yards and a few TDs, put up 20-30 points, but would cost us with a turnover and had no help from the defense. I think we win by 14+.

It's sad, but I'm a little worried.

1) we aren't the best tacklers in the world right now.. and he's hard to bring down anyways.

2) they're letting him go all out (could mean turnovers for us though)

3) the crappy teams always surprise us.

we will have more luck stopping them than they will stopping us.

the saints will always win a shootout.

We'll bitch stomp cam in his mouth. Shanle will show this dude what the NFL is all about

Cam will probably put up good numbers, because like all their games they will be down early and often. Only difference is i don't think they come close to a comeback and Saints score over 30 while holding the Panthers to about 10-17 points.

Thread Title No. 2: "Panthers most dangerous weapon. A rejuvenated Steve Smith"

So who covers this guy? He's been a thorn in our sides for years, and with Newton's ability to buy time, Smith always finds a way to get behind coverage. He's killing it this year.

Shanle or Harper

No worries :lol:

those are some of the more memorable comments..some are worried that olsen and shockey go off...cause they think Greg Williams will double steve smith...most are arrogant pricks...but suprisingly there are a few good football minds on there. This is an extension of an LSU board..so it gets huge amounts of traffic.

They are going to hate Cam from his season at Auburn (believe me I did too)..so it'll be nice if we can somehow scratch out a win!

Teams have been more worried about Olsen in the red zone than Smith lately, which I'm sad to say is probably good strategy right now (and will remain so until we can get our ground game cranked up).

Saints have a decent corner tandem, so big plays may not come easy.

this is definitely the most annoying new trend this season.

"hey guys here's another forum whelp thanks by"

I'll let BTFPhoenix from the message board for BRAVO's Tabitha's Salon Takeover speak for me.

Whats your problem with this? I like it, seeing an inside view of other teams as well as another outside view of our own. As a true fan of the game I enjoy reading and learning about players that I may not see on the weekly basis.

    • Getting this out early so we can flush that abomination down the toilet from last night.  Start fresh if you will.  Win tomorrow and we will have not just our first ECF game win in 19 years, but will be back into it.  Put in Janko and play the Boom if Chatty can’t go.  LFG Canes!
    • Sounds like he wasn't picked up and is now on the Panthers' IR. THE DREAM STILL LIVES
    • There are a lot of question marks surrounding TMo right now. There were whispers leading into the draft that the team was ready to move on due to a knee issue, but they came away with no real backup plan outside of BC. Maybe the knee isn't as serious as feared… or maybe it was just front office gamesmanship, like we saw with the Jalon Walker rumors. With Icky's second contract on the horizon, the team's probably hoping Moton is open to a team-friendly extension. His consistency over the years has been incredibly underappreciated. Hunt's grades dipped last season--particularly in pass pro, where he ranked 54th among guards with 500+ pass-blocking snaps. That's not ideal, but when you step back, it's still starting-caliber play. In the run game, he was more effective--posting the 14th-highest run-blocking grade among guards with 300+ run-blocking snaps. DLew, meanwhile, was a warrior. He played through a shoulder injury all season and still ranked 17th in pass-blocking + 10th in run-blocking under those same filters. Context matters here too... in terms of 2024 cap hits, Hunt was the 17th-highest paid guard at $6.45M while DLew was 25th at $4.9M. DLew absolutely outplayed the first year of his deal. Looking ahead, Hunt will carry the #3 highest cap hit among guards in 2025 at $21.65M, while DLew will be #10 at $14.57M. If DLew maintains that level of play and Hunt bounces back in pass pro? Oooh wee mayne. That said, decisions are coming. DLew can be cut in 2026 for $9M in savings, or in 2027 for $13M. Hunt is more locked in: his contract opens up flexibility starting in 2027 ($14.3M savings) and jumps to $18M in 2028. And then there's the biggest unresolved piece: center. Cade Mays looked solid when called upon, and Christensen didn't look out of place either. Corbett's durability is a fair concern... he hasn't been able to stay on the field the past two years. If Mays locks down the center job, I think the front office moves quickly to secure RT next. Once the bookends are in place, the interior OL becomes the next long-term focus. Hopefully, they're already developing some of those answers internally.
