Carolina's secondary vs Drew Brees

[doogy]

We can do whatever we want in the secondary but if our D-line plays the way it did 2 weeks ago it wont matter. We NEED pressure, just look at St. Louis this past weekend. Pressure makes any QB play much worse.

Norman might be able to provide better coverage overall, but you never know when he's totally sh!t the bed and totally blow a coverage.

[megatroll]

Norman = losing football

 

he had the best preseason out of everyone. I think he gets greedy at times

[PantherFanOne]

Obviously the report is a poo ton of bias. But sadly, they have a solid point. Our secondary is quite pathetic if our defensive line/LB corp does not get there. Which is the reason I think McDerm blitzes more in the first half this game.

 

 

Yeah, I look for us to have a few new wrinkles in our game plan Sunday against the Saints.Rivera said his staff is studying how the Seahawks and Rams shut down the Saints in two of the past three games and made no secret about plans to play copycat this week.

 

("We have to take a look and see what things they did that mesh well with our game plan, and try to incorporate those things as well in the game plan" ) Rivera said.

didn't read link yet, but look at those pockets....Seattle collapsed his pocket and Brees was moving around in the Saints EZ, but he had a nice clean bubble to throw in the Panther vid.

I think someone posted after the Panthers @Saints,  the difference was that speed rushers vs power rushers and that's when McD started blizting safeties to try to get to Bree's a half-second faster. That Bree's internal clock needed to be disrupted.

Either your front four completely dominate their line or you drop more people into coverage and rush 2-3. That means dropping Hardy and C.J too to cover the flat... it's been done and we can do it

 

If you go up 1st like we was supposed to it forces them to pass pass pass and then you can really do it then

[B.BERSIN]

Deliver a ton of pressure, sack him 6+ times, we win 30-9 for sure.

[The Huddler]

Drew is such a douche bag name

[Toundra]

Melvin White is awful, I don't care what anyone says. And I don't see the point of Norman being on the team when he'll never see the field on defense.

 

White is clearly promising but he still a rookie and he is doing costly mistakes, he should not be a starter yet.

Florence should be the starter.

I do not think our secondary will get better over the week but the turf will slow the saints down some. The best we can hope for is more pressure from the front four and scoring touchdowns on offense with long sustained drives. This is one of those weeks we will need to lean more on the offense to beat the saints.

[jarhead]

McD doesn't need to orchestrate more blitzes. We just need to pull back on the zone (at least 25%) and go man-to-man. I'm tired of watching Luke and Thomas sit back, give big cushions and let Drew find the holes. Let them attack the TEs and RBs for christ's sake! Munnerlyn, Mitchell, Davis and Klein should eventually come in on blitzes but it shouldn't be on every other down. Let Hardy, Johnson, Addison, Star, Short and Dwan handle the workload.

White is an UDFA. What. The. Fug. Did. You. Expect? I swear, The Huddle lives in hyperbole and unrealistic expectations. He's a big physical corner with some potential upside, but he's a damn rookie. Cut him some slack. He shouldn't be starting at all right now. That said, I'd take him over Norman every time. Josh doesn't have it upstairs to be a corner in this league. He's an idiot.

I agree ,while not ideal White is is our best option.

He is extremely undisciplined in his coverage and was doing nothing to improve on that.

[SpeedOFLight]

Let me add. I want her line to not end up on the ground in the last game. Bree is not that tall. I want out guys to throw their hands up when he is getting ready to throw to bar some passes down. I think our line will show out this week

[jarhead]

Yea let the coaches make that decision.
