Davidson was a nice spark for the Offense with that change under Fox. I'm hope'n for the same thing from the Defense.

playing to the players traits on the O worked under Foxy's "run" based offense. I think the D could be the same way under Fox as well.

here's hope'n

I like that picture of one of the coaches yelling at the D-line with his neck tendons trying to rip out of his body, i know the former guy was very enthusiastic so hopefully the new D-line coach carries on that position

I think meeks approach will differ from trgdo's in the way that trgdo got too creative with peppers ability which ended up hurting his production a little bit, meeks will most likely just turn him loose like robert freeny

I don't think that Meeks needs to bring out any leadership or fire in Peppers. The guy is who he is. What Meeks needs to do is to make good on his promise to develop a system built around the players strengths.

Peppers really would be best if he could move around, take different angles, to take advantage of his speed and quickness. That is reallly what Pepper's wants I think and a reason why he might want to go to a 3-4. If Meeks finds ways to let that happen, within the context of his 4-3, Peppers will be content and will likely have his best year ever. If he doesn't sign long-term before July 15th, he may want to when he sees how this defense is built around him.

Fsntasy perhaps??

As a Panther fan, until proven otherwise, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
