HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. does mike mitchell forget he plays for the NFL's poster child for fourth-quarter implosions?

 

Free safety Mike Mitchell told The Charlotte Observer the plan is to stop the run early, force Eli Manning to pass and wait for a fourth-quarter implosion.

 
 

“Well he’s a two time Super Bowl champion. Everyone knows how streaky he can be so he’s looking to come out of that streak of throwing interceptions,” Carolina Panthers free safety Mike Mitchell said. “I respect him. He’s a great, great quarterback in this league. We just have to come out and do our job and be physical and firm with their receivers and just try to frustrate them early in the game.

 
 
the panthers are missing their two starting safeties (we all know mikell was the starter at SS, depth charts be damned) and arguably their best starting corner (the fact that it's josh norman shows how truly fugged the secondary is.) this will be the worst secondary eli has faced all season and mike mitchell is writing down bulletin board material for the giants and pinning it up there for them to see.
 
my prediction: this week's fourth-quarter implosion by the panthers for a last second loss is precipitated by a mike mitchell personal foul for fifteen yards on 4th-and-long that sets the giants up in FG range.

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
