Second Half Observations

[panthers55]

We saw the OL all last year....and we haven't upgraded. OL talk isn't exactly chicken little talk....

they also sucked the first quarter of the year with Kalil. G and RT play was an issue last year. Issue still.

It is basic football not a scheme issue getting them or not being allowed to gameplan

We did upgrade from last year.  Silatolu was a rookie and Bell was a 2nd year player.  Both have another year of experience which is an upgrade. Williams will be an upgrade over Handgartner.  The offensive line improved over last season without Kalil.  This year Kalil is back and we will be improved.

As for gameplanning or scheme, we are running plays we practiced regardless of how they are defending us instead of trying to scheme to beat them.  We are shuttling folks in and out.  Philly looked bad last week and great last night.  They shouldn't be too happy just like we shouldn't be too sad.  Lets see where we are after next week before we make any proclamations.

I was astounded to see the Eagle cheerleaders showing the cameltoe.

He has had plenty of time to learn the playbook having not played. 

This is true but as of yet, neither I nor you have seen him play. I'd like to see him run routes and catch passes and prove that he deserves and can earn a roster spot over another WR on the team. However, I'm pretty sure that that he can beat out Pilares, Adams, Bersin and the like. But again, I'd like to see his playmaking abilities to determine, for myself, where he fit in.

Gettis has not caught a ball the last 2 years.

He has not caught a ball against a first string D this preseason.

LaFell? He has been solid against real defenses...and it wasnt yearS ago.

Gettis has not caught a single ball from Cam. LaFell has.

LaFell has pretty much been playing vs. the opponent's no.3 CB his entire career. Nothing great out of that.

I would love to wager my wallet on that Lafell wouldn't have been able to put up the same stats/performances Gettis had the last two preseason games with DA/Clausen throwing him the ball vs. the same group of defenses.

The Gettis fanboys are a really enthusiastic bunch. Here is a guy that is struggling to make the team and has consistently had trouble catching the ball. But he gets to catch some passes against 3rd string d-backs in a couple of games and he now "could be a starter". Unfuging believable. I like the guy and hope he makes the team but come on man.
