it will be interesting to see how kalil and the rest of the oline along with jake handle these very good 3-4 teams..

Panthers center Ryan Kalil is going to have his hands full in these contests. No one in the NFC South plays a predominantly odd front, but Kalil will have to do battle against three massive nose tackles, which isn't the young center's forte at this point of his promising career. The Panthers play all three of these teams in a four-week period. That could be a good or bad thing depending on how well they adapt.

I just hope we STOMP the Patriots into the ground... I do NOT want a call from my friend talkin' poo cause they won. Oh, and it would be a little revenge for the Superbowl. (although, very little considering it was a Superbowl and this is not)

We beat them in 05. That was our revenge

During the regular season? Damn, where was I? :)

Regardless, the only true revenge is beating them in the Superbowl and taking that trophy from them. (Possibility still exists)..

Besides that, I never want to lose to the Patriots... I have too much invested.. :D

3. Carolina's running game vs. a trio of stout 3-4 defenses in Miami, New England and New York: Panthers center Ryan Kalil is going to have his hands full in these contests. No one in the NFC South plays a predominantly odd front, but Kalil will have to do battle against three massive nose tackles, which isn't the young center's forte at this point of his promising career. The Panthers play all three of these teams in a four-week period. That could be a good or bad thing depending on how well they adapt.

I hadn't thought of that, but Pat does have a point. Kalil is small compared to the rest of our blockers (The only one below 300 lbs). He's done pretty good face predominately 4-3 fronts.

So, do you think he can handle the bigger, stouter 3-4 tackles?

For the sake of our inside run game, I hope so.

Oh, we beat the crap out of them in '05, 10 points, but it was much more dominating than the score. Yes, regular season and at home, in fact, I think it was September 18...

I would be concerned if our offense ran through interior running but it doesn't.

Yes we certainly use inside runs, but bigger fronts means sucepitbility to reverses, counters, stunts and every other manner of misdirection. Our backs and system is set up to hurt if someone over pursues and if the big bodies want to eat space, let them I'd wager Williams and Stewart are up to most linebackers in the NFL.

The last time he had to throw 30+ vs a 3-4 team they Cats won (SD).

The last time the Cats played a Rex Ryan defense, the Cats' passing offense is what killed the Ravens (2006). This while the Cats had a cruddy run game. Baltimore was 13-3 that year too and their D was very good.

That said, in 2008 every single team whose QB was without a top ten defense in points allowed has a losing record in games where said QB had to throw 30+ times.

I expect NYJ will be a little different 3-4 from Mia and NE though. With the two gap system in Mia & NE, the NT's job is pretty much to take up a double team. Vincent has lined up against the 3-4 in practice in Pitt. Davidson has seen quite a bit of it also. It's probably a disadvantage to the Cats that they play all three of these teams later on in the season when they likely will have hit their stride. Especially the NYJ who are probably going to be playing that 3-4 a little different from the way they did under Mangini.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
