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.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
