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 kungfoodude · Posted

      I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

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

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
