Steve Smith Injury Update

Smitty wouldve open the defense up to where Cam would now have Lafell on a better match up vs Cromartie and the Jets wouldnt be able to stack the line which will open more running lanes for our run game. Lafell vs Revis? NO way.

You saw what happened? Revis on Lafell, Defense didnt have to worry about any receiving threat so Landry was stacked in the box making tackles left and right, something hes great at. If Smitty was playing, Landry would've been back there trying to help cover and his ass wouldve been blown away by Olsen all night. No 89 = no receiving and running game, unless the Defense steps up like how they did.

Is that such a bad thing? I remember a time when the Carolina Panthers won and lost by whether the Defense stepped up or not. When we could overcome Jake throwing a few picks by solid defensive play. I know we've got Cam Newton and this high powered Chud offense now, but the way the D has looked so far this (pre)season, I for one wouldn't mind putting the game in their hands with 2 minutes to go.

and being without smith doesn't exactly cripple us either. it takes away one incredible option, but this offense still has what it needs to pull off the W without him.

this offense is loaded with talent. it may not have an elite WR corps, but that isn't exactly needed with the talent on this roster, esp. at QB, and the mad scientist we have running the O.

Cam is just the X factor. It's like he's an anamoly, similar to Neo from the Matrix. It's like you can't explain what he's capable of, he is just able to do it.

(example- his scramble vs Washington....after seeing that I literally just sat there and was like wtf just happened)

i almost want to say that chud is the matrix that creates an environment possible for neo (cam) to do what he does.

i dunno...need more coffee.

Hey youd be stupid to even try convincing me that our D now is even close to our D when Foxy used to rule it.

Carolina Chuck do you read your drivel before you post it?

You've spent the whole thread convincing yourself how bad you claim we are. Come on man.

We're pretty bad after Smitty. For some of yall and people like you, it "hurts" to know we're pretty bad after Smitty. Dont believe me, go check it out. Cry about how good you think we are.

Yeah we have no other weapons. Ok let's just concede our season now and get ready for 2013 boys!

All reports from the team are that he will be ready for the opener.

Damn I hope the regular season arriving will change The Huddle.

We sound like a bunch of damn pre-pubescent 12yo girls arguing over which of the damn Jonas Brothers is the cutest.

Psshhh. Nick and it's not even close. Wait what?

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
