It's simple. Smitty is a match-up nightmare, but even if you cover him, Olsen is a mismatch on pretty much any linebacker or safety. Even then, Gettis' speed creates a problem. You simply can't cover all 3, and if you can, that means Lafell will be WIDE open. We should have wide open guys at times Sunday, which could mean Cam's first 400 yard passing day, as long as the OL holds up. Not CALLING for a 400+ yard passing day, but it's possible, based on the athleticism and talent we have at receiver/TE.

Foxy's D has Champ Bailey to cover Smitty, and the LBs to easily take care of the backs and Olsen. Our D needs to hold up to make this a low scoring game.

Champ Bailey isn't their best CB. Hell, he might not even be their 2nd best CB. Don't be surprised if Cam really struggles. Hopefully the offense finally shows up, but it's not likely.

It's just IMPERATIVE that we jump out to an early lead! That defense is completely different when they play with a lead. We need t get points the opening drive and just keep pouring them on.

I really hope that we get the ball first, and that if we do we put up points.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
