So what in the hell do I think of this team?

I was at the game, I saw that beautiful sight. I had forgotten that feeling. But how should I take it? Was that ass whooping we laid on Eli what we are capable of? Are the giants terrible? Did the football gods hear our screams? wtf? Yes we should of won the last two games but how many times have we said that? It usually just doesn't happen. Im sure some of you will take this as complaining but when you're so used to Sundays being a day of heart break and you witness what looks like a team that can do no wrong ( - that int) it's kind of just unbelievable. Oh I'm thrilled with that win. It brings hope back. I just hope it's not false hope. But... Good grief it was awesome to watch

Keep Pounding, bitches

here's how i feel about this team after yesterday's massacre of the giants.

 

i now know what they are capable of this season.

 

there is no excuse for them not playing/coaching that aggressively from start to finish this year.

 

they have officially raised the bar of expectation.

 

like i said elsewhere, i don't expect a 38-0 win every week, but i do expect that type of non-stop, no tapping the brake, full on aggression going forward.

 

if they don't live up to that...if they start tapping the brakes...rivera needs to be gone.

 

this is the type of performance they have to have every week if they are going to win.

It was said elsewhere on this board, but I really believe when we went for it on 4th and 1 on their 2 yard line on our first scoring play something clicked.  Rivera bucked up and didn't simply kick a field goal.  The mentality of the team changed then and there.  Was it just for that game?  That remains to be seen.

They're a very flawed team that went against one even more flawed.

There was a weird snow ball effect but if not for a holding call and a cam pass slipping through a wormhole in a defenders chest and Ito Steve smiths hands it would have been 7-14.

They have the talent like we thought

They have th guts and killer instinct that we hoped

They need to maintain focus and be led.

That is all.

I'm expecting Cam to do this. He looked like hot garbage yesterday till he got his mojo by going to the ground game and making plays. This is where he will flourish. Adjusting to what the d gives him and having the intelligence to recognize it and exploit it.

I count on Rivera to give him free reign to find his groove each week and not allow Shula to put him in a little box.

I don't think it's much to ask. Given that, I like our chances to beat the shat outta some people with what season remains.

I really like the aggressiveness. It also seemed like they let Cam just play. He looked more natural out there. But again it could also be that the Giants are just garbage, but I really cant see that offense of theirs being too bad with those play makers. Anyway, im once again pumped for the next game. 

 

And trust me nobody... wants to be that guy.

This means nothing, we beat a irrelevant team and we have already been doing so for years. Rivera needs to do a lot more, he needs a positive record and needs to maintain it. He also needs to beat the Saints who are coming back pretty strong. The front seven will not always play such crap offensive lines. We were 7-9, we have won games before...just not while it still mattered.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
