I was so glad to see 34 running wild today. I missed that. Guy is one of the funnest players to watch in the league with his speed/power combo. A shame it was all for not-though if we had committed to running the ball, I don't feel it would have been.

A bit more balance would go a long way to helping both this offense and defense, IMO.

It's not even balance, it's just knowing your opponent. Apparently the coaching staff missed the game tape where Detroit stops the run five times in a row and then gives up a 20-25 yard gain. Been a pretty common theme this year for them...

wrong' date=' he had a really nice ypc average. the game plan just hasn't been committed to running either running back consistently....[/quote']

I agree that we need to run the ball more and throw to the RB more. Doesn't change the fact that our OLINE is not the same roadgrading unit without Otah. Also, Gross is not the same player he once was. If Newton wasn't a freak athlete, the pass blocking would look a lot worse.

I never said the O-Line wasn't disappointing. They are, but when you have running backs who at points of certain games are averaging eight yards per carry and they only get five or six carries you have a big play calling problem....

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
