lol that's not true at all.

also the tight end position is evolving and defenses will need a few years of drafting to catch up to stopping the jimmy graham archetype that's taking over the league. and remember the pats have the best receiving tight ends in the league.

C'mon on man...don't use that excuse for Fox.

For 10 years as a season ticket holder I have personally watched every mediocre to great TE run through every defense Fox put on the field.

Cute anecdotal generalization but half the years fox was here we fielded a top fifteen defense. Once Meeks arrived and switched to a Tampa Two where tight ends could slip into holes in the zone we became much more prone to being beaten there. The last couple of years of Fox's tenure were the most frustrating as a whole, so perhaps those years stand out more in your mind.

The Panthers have been historically bad at covering TEs, not just the last two years. The last two years were the worst, but as long as I can remember under Foxball, the cats simply had no answers for TEs.

Historically we got a ton of quick pressure and had an elite secondary. Often offenses were forced into quick checkdowns to tight ends as wide receivers simply didn't have time to get open.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
