Carolina –Three Performances of Note

Oh Captain, My Captain It’s safe to say Captain Munnerlyn (-4.2) is having an up and down year. This would be one of the down games. In coverage he was targeted twice, both were completed for a total of 51 yards, but he was also flagged twice. Add in some poor play against the run and his failure to register pressure when he blitzed (okay so it was only once), and Munnerlyn didn’t have a positive grade in any area of his game. And if you are looking for an example of his poor performance, look no further than the Titans play on 1 st -and-10 with 9:40 remaining in the third quarter. With the Titans backed up on their own eight yard line, Munnerlyn allowed Damian Williams to beat him inside and pick up the first down. Not a great day at all.

Not Helping the Situation

It’s easy to pin a team’s offensive woes on the quarterback. But while Cam Newton (-1.1) was far from his best, he wasn’t helped by the skill position players around him. They dropped five passes between them over the course of the game. Greg Olsen (-2.8) didn’t just drop a pass however. His fumble with 8:24 left in the first quarter and the Panthers inside the red zone, robbed Carolina of a scoring opportunity early on. Pivotal moment early on.

Leading the Way

I’ve expected more from James Anderson (+2.9) this season, but he hasn’t followed up his impressive 2010 season (+14.1). Already he has more missed tackles this season (10) than he had all of last year (9). Fortunately however, this was one of his better games of the season. Solid against the run, Anderson registered four defensive stops. Good in coverage, he allowed three catches for 22 yards from the five times he was thrown at. He may have failed to generate any pressure on his six blitzes but that’s a small blot on a good day.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
