I want to see what Norman will do after a pick 6. It'll probably make a Smitty endzone celebration seem tame and uncreative by comparison.

i get the feeling he'd be chasing after the QB that threw the ball to tell him that he wants more. i see him as a guy that's more interested in getting into the other guys head than celebrating.

Josh Norman now is light years ahead of Josh Norman in week 3. It's like two completely different players.

He is now Lake Norman.

Don't get stranded bitches.

all rights reserved to Monsta for coming up with a great nickname for one of my new favorite panthers

i don't think any of our guys are comfortable or at their best in a soft zone. it's not playing to their strengths, it's actually playing to their weaknesses.

Actually they are excelling in zone. They ran zone most of the game against the skins, we were only in man i think 4 plays. I read an article on it earlier this week

Demaryius Thomas is a very passive receiver. The matchup will bode well for norman.

Eric Decker is the WR to be concerned with!

That nicknames been thrown around since training camp.

Actually me and someone else made it up during the draft chat. I think that was the earliest sighting of the Lake Norman mantra. We said it was fitting given the proximity of the actual Lake Norman.

It would be sweet to shut down Thomas.. It seems like Norman matches up better when getting physical at the line. He isn't the greatest in soft zone.. I am a little worried about Decker on either Munny or Thomas.. He is pretty physical. Either way, this game is taking way too damn long to get here.

Much misinformation. Thomas is about 387 times as physical as Decker. Thomas will run over a Nose tackle.. Decker will get tackled by the 40 yard line

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
