It Begins And Ends With The Defense

I'm not going to spend much time here, because this has been a shitty enough day and I'm ready to for it to end already, but the game was over the moment the defense let Andre Brown run wild. Jon Beason is not back to form, and his tackling has been terrible. Tackling is still a travesty on the entire defense, with Nakamura, Godfrey and more showing up as lowlights. Our coaching has failed in this area, from Rivera on down.

Cam played poorly, but that is the way it is when the other team's defense has free reign to come after you. Our offensive line is showing weakness, particularly from Hangartner.

Now, before everyone commits suicide, we still match up well enough to win games, but athletic defensive lines are going to be an massive Achilles heel. Luckily, we just played the best in the game and don't see them again this season.

These kinds of games happen. Teams either respond or collapse. We'll find out at Atlanta just how mentally tough this team is.

Yea and I think it goes right back to coaching. If you dont have the right coordinators your not going to be successful. Those are the guys teaching and watching the Film when a HC just cant do it. If I were Rivera I would take playcalling duties away from McDermott asap because he will never be good at it.

Yeah, but we know Rivera spends very little time with the O because of his faith in Chud, so I'm assuming he and McD are going over the game plan, discussing adjustments, etc. And if he isn't, then why not? Most head coaches spend considerable time on game plans on whatever side of the ball they are most comfortable with.

It's funny, but the assistant who is always talking with him is Murphy. I know Chud's in the box, but McDermott isn't. It is really puzzling.

Thats very true but TBH you never see many coaches talk with there OC or DC when the game is on. I really wish I saw Rivera with the Players more though. I really cant belive we though the same defense we used on the Saints would work on the Giants. Very dumb move on our part and in the NFL if your not moving forward your behind.

I think that after just three games this season, you could make a robust video montage of Nakamura's whiffs and pathetic failures of tackle attempts.

That guy is straight garbage.

Only reason he starts is bc if JR....Martin at least has talent. Martin would be ahead of him in the depth chart in another team.

      It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit

      T-Mac or Nalo

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
