Let me start this week's version of After Further Review with big applause for Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott.

His plan against the San Francisco 49ers was outstanding. He caused a lot of confusion for the 49ers line, and even more so for quarterback Colin Kaepernick. That led to the 49ers getting nine points on the day, seeing the Panthers sack Kaepernick six times and the 49ers being limited to 91 yards passing as Carolina won 10-9.

To go to San Francisco and beat up the 49ers the way they did is something this defense can use as evidence to be considered one of the best.

The front seven certainly is that.

 

 

Excellent write-up by Pete Prisco over at cbssports.com.  Details the various blitz schemes the Panthers used against the 49ers and shows what a poor passer Colin Kaepernick is.  Definitely worth a read.

We will do some very different things this week.  Kaepernick will make those mistakes but Brady won't.  Expect a defense that doesn't take as many chances or blitz that often.  It will mean that We give up more yards this week but will try to avoid giving the big play.  It will be more of a shootout this week.  That being said I still think 24 points might win it.  Now that I declared it,  it will likely be the first one to 50.   What do I know.....

Don't miss a few key comments.

 

There were open receivers, CK didn't see them or wasn't ready to throw them.

 

That won't be the case with Brady.

 

May have been part of the gameplan.  There are open receivers on almost every play.  You can't cover them all.  Panthers might have just seen that Kaepernick focuses in on his first read so the Panthers took it away and made him beat them with his arm.  It worked.

This weeks game is going to boil down to three things.

 

1st: Cam making no mistakes and being very very efficient with the ball.

2nd: The running game must be there for us. Pats are week right now against the run. Get that started and then start using play action passes.

3rd. Defense must beat up the rookie Wr's and cover the TE. TE is the only real threat in the passing game to me.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
