Seattle game will be a good litmus test for our offense

I am not sure how I feel about opening up against one of the leagues best defenses All the questions about Shula, Cam,our OL and wide receivers will be answered on Sunday.

 

Two of the knocks on Cam are finding other receivers not named Steve Smith and his accuracy especially under pressure . Lets hope Cam will show patience and not force the ball which results in turnovers.

 

Shula"s test will likely result from Seattle's run defense. Can Shula shake his reputation from Bama and Tampa and come up with packages creative enough to sustain drives? 

 

Most everyone agrees that out OL appears less than talented enough. Does G-Man know something he is not telling us? Or is this his idea of a bad joke?

 

If Lafell disappears is Rivera smart enough to pull him in favor of Hixon, Ginn, and Edwards? I hope so.

 

Will Steve Smith be ejected for breaking the face of Sherman before the game is over? More than likely

 

If this depressing please remember our defense can win games.

Our biggest problem under Rivera has been slow starts. Seattle is highly regarded across the country as one of the top power house teams. Since it is game 1, Seattle can expose us for what we are. Seattle is a hard hitting hard working team so we will know if Rivera has prepared us for battle this year.

Will we compete this season? While a win or loss won't guarantee a good or bad season I think this game will be a much better gauge of what Shula will bring and what our offense will look like this season.

I actually like it.

Sherman is gonna talk his way into getting burnt like Fred Smoot use to do with Washington... Poor guy ... Smoot never recovered after Smitty burnt his azz and literally broke his ankles.

Sherman isn't Smoot.

at this point, you gotta give Sherman the edge in that matchup.

Smoot was with Minny when he got his soul butt fuged. Jesus Smitty went nuts.

Yeah...lol that was the beginning of the end for Smoot. Steve destroyed and exposed Smoot for talking to much noise.. All signs point to Sherman being that same big mouth corner. He is a better defender but that trash talk is not gonna help him against Smitty.

I don't give any CB the edge against Smitty in this league. The better they are, the better and more angry Smith plays.

The 34 year old version?

Sherman is one of the few I would. Heck, he might be the only one.

Sherman is just a good matchup for Smitty on top of being a top CB.

He is physical and he wants Smitty to get into the extra junk.

Score is Sherman 1, Smith 0.

Sherman couldn't of kept with the 2005 era Smith but that means nothing now

Espescially at 34. He reminds me of an older guy playing pickup basketball. Uses his body way more and pushes people around.'

 

Hey Panthro!

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
