Gonzalez had one catch for four yards in the second half.

What changed?

The Panthers wouldn't reveal the details of their second-half scheme, but whatever they did, it worked.

"We know how good of a player Tony Gonzalez is. He's been great for a long time. We knew what kind of a challenge we had coming in. In the first half he played well," linebacker

Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif said.

"We did a great job of limiting what Tony was able to gain in the second half. Credit goes to our coaches. They made some adjustments and we, as players, were able to execute."

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan credited the Panthers for mixing up coverages to help contain his go-to target.

"They made some adjustments," Ryan said. "They got into some different coverages in the second half and kind of catered it around what Tony was doing."

I was surprised to see TG silent in the second half. I thought he was tired but apprently, he was taken out of the game cerebrally, without having to mug him on every snap. Brains win again.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
